"
What sort of an enchantment could she put on Cap'n Bill?"
I don't know. But he has disappeared, so I'm pretty certain she has done
something dreadful to him. But don't worry. If it has happened, it can't be

With this Pon went to the cupboard and brought food for them. Trot was far
too worried to eat, but Button-Bright made a good supper from the simple
food and then lay down before the fire and went to sleep. The little girl and the
gardener's boy, however, sat for a long time staring into the fire, busy with
their thoughts. But at last Trot, too, became sleepy and Pon gently covered her
with the one blanket he possessed. Then he threw more wood on the fire and
laid himself down before it, next to Button-Bright. Soon all three were fast
asleep. They were in a good deal of trouble; but they were young, and sleep
was good to them because for a time it made them forget.
