A few faces hurried to glowing windows and looked after us, but none came out.

We passed the finger-post, and held straight on to the churchyard.
There we were stopped a few minutes by a signal from the sergeant's hand, while two or three of his men dispersed themselves among the graves, and also examined the porch.

They came in again without finding anything, and then we struck out on the open marshes, through the gate at the side of the churchyard.

A bitter sleet came rattling against us here on the east wind, and Joe took me on his back.
Now that we were out upon the dismal wilderness where they little thought I had been within eight or nine hours and had seen both men hiding, I considered for the first time, with great dread, if we should come upon them, would my particular convict suppose that it was I who had brought the soldiers there?
He had asked me if I was a deceiving imp, and he had said I should be a fierce young hound if I joined the hunt against him.

Would he believe that I was both imp and hound in treacherous earnest, and had betrayed him?
It was of no use asking myself this question now.
