And if there isn't Jim Anderson! Come in, Jim; what are you doin' standin' out there ?" So she went to the window to call Jim Anderson, and Tony stepped to the door and whistled for the other men, so that when Cousin Maria came to the door she saw not only Jim Anderson, but Thomas Campbell and Captain Bob Winters and Doctor Price's son Brinsley.
"Well, upon my word an' honor!" said Cousin Maria, lifting up both her hands.
"Come along, boys," said Tony, starting off toward the woods.

"We've got no time to lose.

Good-by, Cousin Maria." "Good-by, Cousin Maria," said each of the other men, as the party hurried away.
Cousin Maria did not answer a word.

She sat right down on the door-step and took off her spectacles.

She rubbed them with her apron, and then put them on again.
