close behind me he kept stepping on my heels. The faster |
walked, the faster he walked, so I began to run. The rain
was coming, roaring through the pines, and then, like a
bursting Roman candle, a gum tree ahead of us was

arrived, I heard Doodle, who had fallen behind, cry out,
"Brother, Brother, don't leave me! Don't leave me!"
