The only people who live up here on the hill are the engineers and executives.”,What a great one Jeremias was to use queer words!,How could Mother know that anything was the matter? for he had just sat there stock still and had not said a single word!，CHAPTER XVI THE ESCAPE，BLUE BEARD，“You’re whistling,” said Bob shortly.“Fool Greaser! Go all way up hill only to throw people off track. I know where he make for. Come!”

“You bet it was! Both right and plucky. I’m proud of you—”,“I think it’s a rotten shame. I don’t think your father ought to stand in the way of what you want to do.”,“Oh, I’m tired,” returned Bob, “that’s all. I got into a sort of jam in the lower camp to-night.” He decided it would be better not to let Jerry know that he was at all suspicious, so in order to appear natural, when the other boy wanted to know the details, he told him of his share in the brawl at the theatre.,“Yes.”,Night having come, the Princess went to bed as usual, her little Fretillon lying at her feet, not even stirring one of his paws. Rosette slept soundly, but the wicked nurse kept awake, and went presently to fetch the boatman. She took him into the Princess's room, and together they lifted her up, feather bed, mattress, sheets, coverlet, and all, and threw them into the sea, the Princess all the while so fast asleep, that she never woke. But fortunately, her bed was made of Phœnix-feathers, which are extremely rare, and have the property of always floating on water; so that she was carried along in her bed as in a boat. The water, however, began gradually first to wet her feather bed, then her mattress, and Rosette began to feel uncomfortable, and turned from side to side, and then Fretillon woke up.

"Is our boat having a dance on the water?" she said. "I am not accustomed to feeling so uneasy as I am to-night," and all the while Fretillon continued barking, and going on as if he was out of his mind. The wicked nurse and the boatman heard him from afar, and said: "There's that funny little beast drinking our healths with his mistress. Let us make haste to land," for they were now just opposite the town of the King of the Peacocks.,“This is delightful weather,” said Johnny Blossom, although just then another wild gust of wind made Jeremias’s little house shake violently.,“Did ye come through the gap?” was his greeting in a mild, unsurprised tone.,“You poor nut! You haven’t any sense anyway!”,“Well, then, I want you to help. The Chief needs to know who’s back of the trouble and I believe you can find out!”,Suddenly they heard voices. Who in the world was coming? The boys looked toward the forest.,“Mother has gone to a luncheon party today.”,They had not been long in this situation, when they heard a noise which approached gradually, and which did not appear to come from the avenue they had passed..
