A slight depression in the prairie helped conceal their movements, and neither spoke until they were crouching together beside the wall of the shop. Then Neb, teeth chattering, managed to blurt forth: "Fo' de Lawd's sake, yer don't actually mean ter steal dem hosses?"
Johanna glanced up with injured surprise and then tittered, "Miss Barb wear a shawl fo' de Lawd's sa-ake! Why, Mr. March, evm you knows betteh'n dat, seh." Her glow of happiness stayed while she drew forth a letter and laid it by her cup of coffee. "Oh!" the sceptic tossed his head "seein's believin'; but I can't see so far off."

"Fo' de Lawd's sake, Massa," he protested, "dat'd sho' be a hangin' job if ebber dey cotched us." Keith laughed, knocking out the ashes from his pipe. "With an hour's start that will be the least of my troubles," he said, quietly.
