"My plan is going to work." The sledge got nearer.

They saw the snow fly up about its front and heard the scream the runners made.

There was something fascinating about its smooth but fast descent, and as it approached the top of the dip they moved back rather unwillingly to let it pass.

When it was nearly level with them it slowed on the changing incline and Grace noted that there was a narrow space between the back of the frame and the peat.

She gave Kit a quick look as she said, "If one wanted, I think one could jump on." "Let's try!" said Kit impulsively, and they ran forward.
He reached the sledge first, and throwing himself down held out his hand to Grace, who fell upon the runner log.
