near, and a hoarse indistinct voice that seemed to say, "Lies! lies!
lies!"
"Oh!" cried the nurse with a sigh that was almost a scream, and ran on
faster than ever.
"Nursie! Lootie! I can't run any more. Do let us walk a bit."
"What _am_ I to do?" said the nurse. "Here, I will carry you."
She caught her up; but found her much too heavy to run with, and had
to
set her down again. Then she looked wildly about her, gave a great cry,
and said--
"We've taken the wrong turning somewhere, and I don't know where
we are.
We are lost, lost!"
The terror she was in had quite bewildered her. It was true enough
they
had lost the way. They had been running down into a little valley in
which there was no house to be seen.
