Chapter VI
"Cap'n Moseby's pasture is right over there. You get over the stone-wall, and go across one field, and you come to it," remarked Harriet. "I s'pose the berries are as thick as spatters," said Mary Ann, with a sigh. "Dan'l says the bushes are dragging down with 'em." "Well," said Mary Ann, "nobody would dare to go there, for he keeps that great black dog, and I've heard he watches with a gun."
