"Go in presently and see if she's done, and ask if she'll have some fruit pie or cake, and report if the tray is still on the deck." A little later they went back up the road, side by side. Ringdo having heard the call of the forest-creek had strayed into the tangle, perhaps hoping to find a fat frog which had not yet sought its winter sleeping-bog.
