On they went over stock and stone again , pausing now and then to listen for the horn , which did not blow any more , for it was only the moo of a cow on her way home . `` I do n't remember seeing that pile of stones do you ? '' asked Nan , as she sat on a wall to rest a moment and take an observation . `` I do n't remember any thing , but I want to go home , '' and Rob 's voice had a little tremble in it that made Nan put her arms round him and lift him gently down , saying , in her most capable way , `` I 'm going just as fast as I can , dear . Do n't cry , and when we come to the road , I 'll carry you . '' `` Where is the road ? '' and Robby wiped his eyes to look for it . `` Over by that big tree . Do n't you know that 's the one Ned tumbled out of ? '' `` So it is . May be they waited for us ; I 'd like to ride home would n't you ? '' and Robby brightened up as he plodded along toward the end of the great pasture . `` No , I 'd rather walk , '' answered Nan , feeling quite sure that she would be obliged to do so , and preparing her mind for it . Another long trudge through the fast-deepening twilight and another disappointment , for when they reached the tree , they found to their dismay that it was not the one Ned climbed , and no road anywhere appeared . `` Are we lost ? '' quavered Rob , clasping his pail in despair . `` Not much . I do n't just see which way to go , and I guess we 'd better call . '' So they both shouted till they were hoarse , yet nothing answered but the frogs in full chorus . `` There is another tall tree over there , perhaps that 's the one , '' said Nan , whose heart sunk within her , though she still spoke bravely .
`` I do n't think I can XXXXX any more ; my boots are so heavy I ca n't pull 'em ; '' and Robby sat down on a stone quite worn out .
