. 61 THE BOY LINCOLN It had been long since the echoes of that foresthad listened to the music of a half-anxious cry ofa mother to her children. Whatever else it was toNancy, however, it was also startling both to herand the two boys. They did not go forward a stepfarther, but stood still, and stared first at eachother and then at the crooked road before them. Itwas not much of a road, to be sure, but then it wasabout to bring them something that was entirelyunexpected. Then they began to retreat slowlytoward their house, as if this were entirely toomuch for them. They walked with turned heads,nevertheless, and it was only a few minutes beforeAbe gave a sudden jump. Dennis whistled, andNancy exclaimed: Boys, its John Johnston an the girls.Come on! Abe did not utter a word, but sprang away tomeet the newcomers, who were evidently old ac-quaintances, and the others were at his heels. Theboy member of the arriving party was nearest,of course, and he, too, was now quickening his paces. 62
