As he hurried along he encountered a branch which hung low and like a scalpel lifted the straw hat from the head of the astonished boy.,"You are quite right," said Captain Weaver. "Guns would only be in our way, and sarve to check the beauty, which we don't want.","Now for a sight of the dislocated gentleman," said Elinor gayly.
