114 UP AND DOWN THE BROOKS.
" I guess they 're in the cloth, " I said, with an uneasy foreboding of evil.
I shook the rag.
Alas, alas !
The truth was apparent. Darby and Joan had run away.
How they had managed it was a mystery. I had tied the cloth on as usual. Perhaps it was a little loose, and it may be that by great struggles those creatures, almost as pliable as slugs, slipped through and fled.
The girl went away almost immediately, and I rushed back to the dish. Away went the box of bottle...s and tins of insects, up came the heavy boards ; into every crack and cranny among the sweet alyssum did we look, but a dried Darby or a parched Joan appeared not.
I am quite certain that Joan never planned that escape. She need not come back to apolo- gize. I exonerate her entirely. She was of too meek a nature to propose such a thing, or else she was a tremendous hypocrite. I know well enough that it was Darby the daring that found the way out and persuaded her to follow, but, inasmuch as there was no water in the open world to which he invited her, I very much fear that Joan's fidelity was rewarded by a dry death.
