"Someone from outside, I mean.","Let's hustle," urged Billy. "They may come back any minute.",“It’s time Billy was at home,” he heard his mother say as he opened her room door; and he stumbled on more hurriedly, across the bridge—at last, the Fo’castle!,"Och, it's a brave lad ye are, Billy bye," Harry wheezed, "an' a brave liar, too.
