By this time Betty was getting hoarse and instructed her perspiring assistant what next to shout and the most fetching modulations of voice to use.

He ran out into the summer evening, down the hill to the big rock that overhangs Runa Creek. The stars were beginning to shine, and he could hear the tinkle of the water below.
