"What, has she been up all night?"
"Yes, helping me with the wounded."
"Oh, what a good woman she is!" cried Harry enthusiastically.
"Right, Hal," cried the doctor merrily. "Bless her! she is."
"And I do feel such a lazy pig! You two hard at work all night, and
I've been snoring here like old Phra."
"So as to be ready to work hard to-day. It's all right, my boy."
"I say, doctor, you do look well and jolly to-day; any one would think we were not in trouble," said Harry gravely.
"Trouble, boy? I feel as if there was no trouble in the world."
"Yes, I understand," said Harry slowly. "You must feel relieved to have got back to Mrs. Cameron and found her safe and well. But I say, do you think we can beat these wretches off?"
"Think? No. We are going to do it, my lad."
