Oh! if some kind good fairy would but come to our aid and help us to confound our enemies!",Tom allowed a shade of amiability to creep into his tones as he said: "First time we ever shot these grounds, and we're kinder green on the ins and outs of 'em. We're drillin' fer water down in the Settlement. Lost our drill this mornin' and had to send across the lake fer a fishin' outfit, so thought we'd put in the time shootin' a bit."，"If we hurry we must meet his car there, and can send him back into Bantry, and so save him."，Beneath the shadow of the coming storm the forest gloom deepened to velvet blackness.

Billy and Maurice, a strange terror tugging at their heart-strings, waited for old Harry to give the word forward. But Harry seemed to be in no great hurry to voice such command. Fear had gripped his superstitious soul and the courage loaned him from the squat demijohn was fast oozing away.，Bob shook the sleep out of his eyes and hustled into his clothes. When he came downstairs with Jerry he found that Mr. Whitney had already finished his breakfast and had gone out. So he and Jerry had theirs. During the meal Bob tried again to draw his new comrade out, but the same unwillingness to talk possessed Jerry. Bob rather wondered what was the matter.

At last, giving it up as a bad job, he finished his meal in silence. Steve Whitney met them in the lobby."Surely," she said, "they are not as ferocious as they are said to be?"
