He hopped down and started pigeon-toeing across the glade, peering back to see if Billy were coming.，“Jiminy crickets! What’s happened, kid?” Billy asked, slowing up beside him.，The heart of Julia beat quick."Yes. I knew about the secret panel from Warden, old Elspeth's nephew, who alone, I think, knew of its existence. I was determined to get the will. It seemed to me," cries he, with sudden excitement, "no such great crime to do away with an unrighteous deed that took from an elder son (without just cause) his honest rights, to bestow them upon the younger.
