I stopped a few minutes, listening, and they seemed to quiet down, and then, as I was going on again, I came up to Mrs.Roy.She was kneeling down, and--" "Kneeling down ?" interrupted Mr.Verner.
"She was kneeling down, sir, with her hands clasped round the trunk of a tree, like one in mortal fright.

She laid hold of me then, and I asked what was the matter with her, and she answered that she had been a'most frightened to death.

I asked whether it was at the quarrel, but she only said, 'Hush! listen!' and at last she set on to cry.

Just then we heard an awful shriek, and a plunge into the water.
