"We'll just have to fin' it," said Mick.
"I'm afraid that will be a hard job," said Doctor Dixey as he got up to go. "But I'll see to the boy while he's here, and if you find the money I'll find the ship."
They sat up for another hour, talking it over with Lull. She said it was hopeless to think of such a lot of money, but the children declared that they would find it somewhere. After they had gone to bed, and Lull had put out the candle, Jane heard a noise in the dark room.
"Who's that?" she said, starting up in bed.
"It's on'y me sayin' me prayers," said Honeybird.
"Ye said them wanst afore," said Jane. "Get into bed, an' be quiet."
Honeybird got into bed, but in about three minutes she was out again.
"What's the matter now?" said Jane.
"It's on'y me sayin' me prayers," Honeybird answered.
"Sure, ye said them twiced afore," said Fly crossly.
