She
sat
there
half
-
an
-
hour
or
more
,
feeling
the
place
very
strange
and
lonely
,
for
she
had
prevailed
upon
the
old
man
to
go
to
bed
,
and
there
was
nothing
to
be
heard
but
the
ticking
of
an
old
clock
,
and
the
whistling
of
the
wind
among
the
trees
.
When
he
returned
,
he
took
his
seat
in
the
chimney
corner
,
but
remained
silent
for
a
long
time
.
At
length
he
turned
to
her
,
and
speaking
very
gently
,
hoped
she
would
say
a
prayer
that
night
for
a
sick
child
.
My
favourite
scholar
!
said
the
poor
schoolmaster
,
smoking
a
pipe
he
had
forgotten
to
light
,
and
looking
mournfully
round
upon
the
walls
.
It
is
a
little
hand
to
have
done
all
that
,
and
waste
away
with
sickness
It
is
a
very
,
very
little
hand
!

After
a
sound
night
s
rest
in
a
chamber
in
the
thatched
roof
,
in
which
it
seemed
the
sexton
had
for
some
years
been
a
lodger
,
but
which
he
had
lately
deserted
for
a
wife
and
a
cottage
of
his
own
,
the
child
rose
early
in
the
morning
and
descended
to
the
room
where
she
had
supped
last
night
.
As
the
schoolmaster
had
already
left
his
bed
and
gone
out
,
she
bestirred
herself
to
make
it
neat
and
comfortable
,
and
had
just
finished
its
arrangement
when
the
kind
host
returned
.
He
thanked
her
many
times
,
and
said
that
the
old
dame
who
usually
did
such
offices
for
him
had
gone
to
nurse
the
little
scholar
whom
he
had
told
her
of
.
The
child
asked
how
he
was
,
and
hoped
he
was
better
.
No
,
rejoined
the
schoolmaster
shaking
his
head
sorrowfully
,
no
better
.
They
even
say
he
is
worse
.
I
am
very
sorry
for
that
,
Sir
,
said
the
child
.

The
poor
schoolmaster
appeared
to
be
gratified
by
her
earnest
manner
,
but
yet
rendered
more
uneasy
by
it
,
for
he
added
hastily
that
anxious
people
often
magnified
an
evil
and
thought
it
greater
than
it
was
;
for
my
part
,
he
said
,
in
his
quiet
,
patient
way
,
I
hope
it
s
not
so
.
I
don
t
think
he
can
be
worse
.
The
child
asked
his
leave
to
prepare
breakfast
,
and
her
grandfather
coming
down
stairs
,
they
all
three
partook
of
it
together
.
While
the
meal
was
in
progress
,
their
host
remarked
that
the
old
man
seemed
much
fatigued
,
and
evidently
stood
in
need
of
rest
.
If
the
journey
you
have
before
you
is
a
long
one
,
he
said
,
and
don
t
press
you
for
one
day
,
you
re
very
welcome
to
pass
another
night
here
.
I
should
really
be
glad
if
you
would
,
friend
.
