In the midst of this stillness it was rather startling when Colin half lifted his head and exclaimed in a loud suddenly alarmed whisper：
“Who is that man？” Dickon and Mary scrambled to their feet.
“Man！” they both cried in low quick voices.
Colin pointed to the high wall. “Look！” he whispered excitedly. “Just look！”
Mary and Dickon wheeled about and looked. There was Ben Weatherstaff's indignant face glaring at them over the wall from the top of a ladder！ He actually shook his fist at Mary.
“If I wasn't a bachelder， an' tha' was a wench o' mine，” he cried， “I'd give thee a hidin'！”
He mounted another step threateningly as if it were his energetic intention to jump down and deal with her； but as she came toward him he evidently thought better of it and stood on the top step of his ladder shaking his fist down at her.
“I never thowt much o' thee！” he harangued. “I couldna' abide thee th' first time I set eyes on thee. A scrawny buttermilk-faced young besom， allus askin' questions an' pokin' tha' nose where it wasna， wanted. I never knowed how tha' got so thick wi' me. If it hadna' been for th' robin—— Drat him——”
“Ben Weatherstaff，” called out Mary， finding her breath. She stood below him and called up to him with a sort of gasp. “Ben Weatherstaff， it was the robin who showed me the way！”
Then it did seem as if Ben really would scramble down on her side of the wall， he was so outraged.
“Tha' young bad 'un！” he called down at her. “Layin' tha' badness on a robin——not but what he's impidint enow for anythin'. Him showin' thee th' way！ Him！ Eh！ tha' young nowt”——she could see his next words burst out because he was overpowered by curiosity—— “however i' this world did tha' get in？”
“It was the robin who showed me the way，” she protested obstinately. “He didn't know he was doing it but he did. And I can't tell you from here while you're shaking your fist at me.”
He stopped shaking his fist very suddenly at that very moment and his jaw actually dropped as he stared over her head at something he saw coming over the grass toward him.
