"I don't feel hungry." "You shall have the tea. When did you eat last?" "Not since breakfast." "It is a marvel you are able to speak! You must try to eat some oat-cake." "I wish I hadn't taken that last slice of deer-ham!" said Alister, ruefully. "I will eat if I can," said Mercy.
Palmer, however, that that morning Christina had positively refused to listen to a word more from Mr. Sercombe. In the afternoon, Alister set out for London. Mr. Peregrine Palmer brooded more and more upon what he counted the contempt of the chief. It became in him almost a fixed idea.
Ian knows what to do in an emergency; and though you might not think it, he is a very strong man." She rose immediately, and taking like a child the hand he offered her, went up the hill with him. The girls ran before them, and presently gave a scream of joy. "I see Chrissy! I see Chrissy!" cried one. "Yes! there she is! I see her too!" cried the other. Alister hurried up with Mercy.
"For the crossing then!" said Alister, and turning to the burn, jumped and re-jumped it, as if to let them see how to do it. The bed of the stream was at the spot narrowed by two rocks, so that, though there was little of it, the water went through with a roar, and a force to take a man off his legs.
He jumps about like a goat that I can't hit him!" "You are blind with blood!" said Ian, in a tone that gave Sercombe expectation of too easy a victory. "Sit down there, I tell you!"

"Don't be in a hurry. I will take you no, not by the hand; that might slip but by the wrist. Do not think how far you can jump; all you have to do is to jump. Only jump as high as you can."

Alister argued it was but a bit of fun, and that anybody that knew Ian, knew perfectly he would never amuse himself with a fellow without giving him something, but it was in vain; Ian was bent on showing it altogether unworthy.
"We thought you had quarrelled; neither said a word to the other." Mercy looked up; Christina looked down. "Could you hear us at that height?" asked Mercy. "How could we when there was not a word to hear!" "How did you know we were silent?" "We might have known by the way you walked," replied Alister. "But if you had spoken we should have heard, for sound travels far among the mountains!"
