"Why, Molly," he said, flaring his astonished blue eyes at me, "'tisn't me to be took care of! I'm not going to leave you here for maybe a a bear to come out of a circus and eat you up, with me and father gone.

I did it then, and it saved the day, for we both laughed into each other's eyes, and, before we realised it, we were within whispering distance.
