When Mrs. Elliott called to her husband and son, they could not hear her, / but her cries were heard by a small group of half-a-dozen boys and girls, / who were walking along the shore of the lake at some distance ahead of her.
Patty and Marian were in this group, and at the sound of her mother's / frightened cry, Marian turned pale, and said, "Oh, Patty, something / dreadful has happened; let us run to mother."
