Susy nodded knowingly.
"I knows yer name, an' I won't forget. We went to Hatherbrook las' year, and I s'pect we'll be comin' around there soon."
Christina looked upon her with the greatest admiration as she drove away, and Dawn exclaimed ecstatically:
"That's how I should like to drive through the world with dad!"
"She's a very brave girl," said Christina, with a little sigh, "and she's only one year older than I am! She would have made a better Maclahan than I do!"
"Well, that adventure is not very exciting; let's come back to our wood, Tina."
Christina followed him silently down to the river again. Her fears returned, and when Dawn excitedly pointed out to her a man rowing along in the very boat in which they had come over, she was more glad than sorry. Dawn hailed the man, but he only turned and shook his fist at him, and rowed on faster than ever.
"I'm afraid it belongs to him, Tina. Whatever shall we do? How can we get across?"
"I expect there's a bridge somewhere," said Christina cheerfully.
"There mayn't be a bridge for miles. Well, this fun; I shall have to swim across."
