`` Are we lost ? '' quavered Rob , clasping his pail in despair . `` Not much . I do n't just see which way to go , and I guess we 'd better call . '' So they both shouted till they were hoarse , yet nothing answered but the frogs in full chorus . `` There is another tall tree over there , perhaps that 's the one , '' said Nan , whose heart sunk within her , though she still spoke bravely . `` I do n't think I can go any more ; my boots are so heavy I ca n't pull 'em ; '' and Robby sat down on a stone quite worn out . `` Then we must stay here all night . I do n't care much , if snakes do n't come . '' `` I 'm frightened of snakes . I ca n't stay all night . Oh , dear ! I do n't like to be lost , '' and Rob puckered up his face to cry , when suddenly a thought occurred to him , and he said , in a tone of perfect confidence , `` Marmar will come and find me she always does ; I ai n't afraid now . '' `` She wo n't know where we are . '' `` She did n't know I was shut up in the ice-house , but she found me . I know she 'll come , '' returned Robby , so trustfully , that Nan felt relieved , and sat down by him , saying , with a remorseful sigh , `` I wish we had n't run away . '' `` You made me ; but I do n't mind much Marmar will love me just the same , '' answered Rob , clinging to his sheet-anchor when all other hope was gone . `` I 'm so hungry . Let 's eat our berries , '' proposed Nan , after a pause , during which Rob began to nod . `` So am I , but I ca n't eat mine , 'cause I told Marmar I 'd keep them all for her . ''
`` You 'll have to eat them if no one comes for us , '' said XXXXX , who felt like contradicting every thing just then .
