Goodbye , Darry . '' After all the constable did not seem to be a bad sort of fellow . During the morning Darry accomplished many things for Abner 's wife , and she showed in her manner how pleased she was to have him there . When noon had come and gone he prepared for his row across the bay , for she insisted upon his making an early start . `` Clouds are banking up in the southeast , and we look for trouble whenever that comes about . Still , you will have plenty of time to row over . Stay with Abner to-night and return in the morning if it is safe on the bay .
