Bessie stared at her, in wonder and admiration. "Why, Dolly Ransom!" she
said. "However do you do it? I never heard of such a thing!"
"I don't know how I do it," said Dolly, recovering her breath. "No one
who can does, I guess. It's just something you happen to be able to do."
"You certainly frightened them," said Bessie. "And you saved us with
your trick, Dolly. I think they've run clear away. We can follow them
down the trail; they won't stick to it, and I think we can go right back
to Long Lake, now, without being afraid any more. Come on, we'd better
start. I don't want to stay here."

starved--and, Bessie, they must be terribly worried about us, too. And
now tell me, as we go along, how you ever found me. I don't see how you
managed that."
So, as they made their way down the trail, Bessie told her of all that
had happened since her rude awakening at the camp fire, just after the
gypsy had carried Dolly off.
