If He Does That, I Thought, He Will Be Gone In A Minute And I Shall

And for fear he would make for the
hedge and jump over it, not minding me, I jerked out my handkerchief
and shook it at him.
You can't imagine how this frightened him. He
turned sharp to the right, dashed up the hill, cleared a hedge and was
gone. I gave a gasp and a scream as I saw him disappear. I believe I
cried, but I didn't stop, and glad I was that I didn't; for in less
than a minute I had come to a cross lane which led in the very
direction the deer had taken. I turned into this lane and went on as
fast as I could, and I soon found that it led through a thick wood.
Down in the hollow, which I could not see into, I heard a barking and
shouting, and I kept on just as fast as I could make that tricycle go.
Where the lane led to, or what I should ever come to, I didn't think
about. I was hunting a stag, and all I cared for was to feel my
tricycle bounding beneath me.
I may have gone a half a mile or two miles - I have not an idea how far
it was - when suddenly I came to a place where there was green grass and
rocks in an opening in the woods, and what a sight I saw!
