'Mind you put in it how beautiful I looked sailing through the arch.' 'Yes, and how very gallant the bargeman was,' said Norman.
'Yes, and how much you enjoyed the idea of going down the river with him, while, we came back to the Cottage,' said Charley.
'We'll put it all down at the Navigation, and old Snape shall make a special minute about it.' Katie drank her tea in silence, and tried to eat, though without much success.

When chatting voices and jokes were to be heard at the Cottage, the sound of her voice was usually the foremost; but now she sat demure and quiet.

She was realizing the danger from which she had escaped, and, as is so often the case, was beginning to fear it now that it was over.
'Ah, Katie, my bonny bird,' said her mother, seeing that she was not herself, and knowing that the excitement and overpowering feelings of gratitude were too much for her-come here; you should be in bed, my foolish little puss, should you not ?' 'Indeed, she should,' said Uncle Bat, who was somewhat hard-hearted about the affair of the accident, and had been cruel enough, after hearing an account of it, to declare that it was all Katie's fault.
'Indeed, she should; and if she had gone to bed a little earlier in the evening it would have been all the better for Master Norman's boat.' 'Oh! mamma, don't send me to bed,' said she, with tears in her eyes.

'Pray don't send me to bed now; I'm quite well, only I can't talk because I'm thinking of what Charley did for me;' and so saying she got up, and, hiding her face on her mother's shoulder, burst into tears.
'My dearest child,' said Mrs.Woodward, 'I'm afraid you'll make yourself ill.

We'll put off the reading, won't we, Charley?
We have done enough for one evening.' 'Of course we will,' said he.
