Mr Lawrence had also caused a couple of hen-coops to be filled with poultry.,"No, we looked for them high and low, but didn't see hide nor hair of them," he answered, ruffing his hair in a way that distressed Patricia, who was very proud of his straight, shining locks.，“Gee! Did you hear it splash?” screamed Moses.，Mrs. Wilson gazed sternly at Billy. "Willium, do you take Anson's tarts and pie?" she asked ominously.，Jerry, however, was not so pessimistic. “Oh, I’m not beaten yet.

About the break of day they quitted the forest, and entered upon a wild and mountainous country, in which they travelled some miles without perceiving a hut, or a human being.
