The house Dr.
Sandford spoke of had been passed; the turn had been taken; there was nothing to do now but follow on till they found the lake; but there were no signs of it yet, nor any sound of voices to be heard in the distance.
Even the boys were gone on out of sight; the stillness of summer noon was all through the deep woods, for it is a time of day when the birds do not feel like ringing much.

Daisy enjoyed it.

"What for air ye playing capers like that ?" inquired Logan, with an air of great disgust and a strong Scotch accent.

Sam stood still, drawing his countenance into all manner of grimaces.
"Speak then, can't ye! What ails ye?
Don't stand there like a Merry Andrew, boy!" "I've hurted myself!" Sam groaned.
"And how did ye hurt yourself?
When ye were walking along, couldn't ye go for'rard quietly?
Where's the hurt ?" "My foot!" said Sam bending down to it.
