"Oh yes you will," echoed another voice on the left, and on the right still another voice chanted. "You will, you will." "Now, maybe the next time you boat-thieves find a punt you'll think twice afore you take it," shouted Billy. "Not yet," was the reply..

The cows waded to shore slowly, pausing to brush the troublesome flies from bulging sides with moist noses, halting to drink again and again, loath to leave this great body of cool delicious water. Billy did not hurry them. He thought he understood their feelings in the matter. It would be a long while before they would have a chance to drink again.
