Away went the man, and away went the dog.
Up the road, into the brush, out again, and then into a field, down a hill, nip and tuck! At Tom Riley's fence, Rob got him by the leg, but the trowsers were old and the piece came out: and then the man dashed into Riley's old tobacco barn, and slammed the door almost on the dog's nose.
Rob ran around the house to see if there was an open window, and finding none, he went back to the door and lay down to wait.
Harry and Kate ran home as fast as they could, and after a while Rob came too.

He had waited a reasonable time at the door of the barn, but the man had not come out..
