CHAPTER III
12/22

"The care that I hoped to find for him at the farm of San Felice--" "Jack will get well," said old Tom, "when he approaches the more healthy part of the coast." "Dick," remarked Mrs.Weldon, "you are sure that this Harris has betrayed us ?" "Yes, Mrs.Weldon," replied the young novice, who would have liked to avoid any explanation on this subject.
He also hastened to add, while looking at the old black: "This very night Tom and I discovered his treason, and if he had not jumped on his horse and fled, I would have killed him." "So this farm--" "There is neither farm, nor village, nor settlement in the neighborhood," replied Dick Sand.

"Mrs.Weldon, I repeat to you, we must return to the coast." "By the same road, Dick ?" "No, Mrs.Weldon, but by descending a river which will take us to the sea without fatigue and without danger.

A few more miles on foot, and I do not doubt--" "Oh, I am strong, Dick!" replied Mrs.Weldon, who struggled against her own weakness.

"I will walk! I will carry my child!" "We are here, Mrs.Weldon," said Bat, "and we will carry you!" "Yes.

yes," added Austin.
