Then he shot three of the arrows up in the air, each time crying, "Look out.","Bill, Oh Bill! where 'bouts are you?" Maurice's voice sounded muffled and far away to his chum's ears.,She picked up the saucer and stood looking down at the gold piece which Croaker had brought in. "I don't s'pose there's a particle of use keepin' an eye on that crow?" she asked.,"It is late," he says. "You should be at home, child. Who am I, that you should do me so great a service?"
