"He's come!" I gasped. "And I'm frightened to death, with nobody but you to run to. Hide me quick! He's large and coarse-looking, and I hate him!". I was that deadly cold you can get when fear runs into your very marrow and congeals the blood in your arteries. "Quick, quick!", I panted. "I know, I know!" broke in Dido, impatiently. "But dat not to do wid me. De poison in your debble-stick." "Well, sir!" he said in an icy tone to his adopted son, "I am waiting for you to explain this very extraordinary conduct." Battersea drew back and began to whimper again..
