I
was
so
much
surprised
at
this
,
that
I
could
find
no
voice
to
answer
,
but
stood
staring
.
"
Ay
,
"
the
man
resumed
,
"
he
'll
be
dead
,
no
doubt
;
and
that
'll
be
what
brings
ye
chapping
to
my
door
.
"
Another
pause
,
and
then
defiantly
,
"
Well
,
man
,
"
he
said
,
"
I
'll
let
ye
in
;
"
and
he
disappeared
from
the
window
.
Presently
there
came
a
great
rattling
of
chains
and
bolts
,
and
the
door
was
cautiously
opened
and
shut
to
again
behind
me
as
soon
as
I
had
passed
.
"
Go
into
the
kitchen
and
touch
naething
,
"
said
the
voice
;
and
while
the
person
of
the
house
set
himself
to
replacing
the
defences
of
the
door
,
I
groped
my
way
forward
and
entered
the
kitchen
.
The
fire
had
burned
up
fairly
bright
,
and
showed
me
the
barest
room
I
think
I
ever
put
my
eyes
on
.
Half-a-dozen
dishes
stood
upon
the
shelves
;
the
table
was
laid
for
supper
with
a
bowl
of
porridge
,
a
horn
spoon
,
and
a
cup
of
small
beer
.
Besides
what
I
have
named
,
there
was
not
another
thing
in
that
great
,
stone-vaulted
,
empty
chamber
but
lockfast
chests
arranged
along
the
wall
and
a
corner
cupboard
with
a
padlock
.
As
soon
as
the
last
chain
was
up
,
the
man
rejoined
me
.
He
was
a
mean
,
stooping
,
narrow-shouldered
,
clay-faced
creature
;
and
his
age
might
have
been
anything
between
fifty
and
seventy
.
His
nightcap
was
of
flannel
,
and
so
was
the
nightgown
that
he
wore
,
instead
of
coat
and
waistcoat
,
over
his
ragged
shirt
.
He
was
long
unshaved
;
but
what
most
distressed
and
even
daunted
me
,
he
would
neither
take
his
eyes
away
from
me
nor
look
me
fairly
in
the
face
.
What
he
was
,
whether
by
trade
or
birth
,
was
more
than
I
could
fathom
;
but
he
seemed
most
like
an
old
,
unprofitable
serving-man
,
who
should
have
been
left
in
charge
of
that
big
house
upon
board
wages
.
"
Are
ye
sharp-set
?
"
he
asked
,
glancing
at
about
the
level
of
my
knee
.
"
Ye
can
eat
that
drop
parritch
?
"
I
said
I
feared
it
was
his
own
supper
.
"
O
,
"
said
he
,
"
I
can
do
fine
wanting
it
.
I
'll
take
the
ale
,
though
,
for
it
slockens
(
moistens
)
my
cough
.
"
He
drank
the
cup
about
half
out
,
still
keeping
an
eye
upon
me
as
he
drank
;
and
then
suddenly
held
out
his
hand
.
"
Let
's
see
the
letter
,
"
said
he
.
I
told
him
the
letter
was
for
Mr.
Balfour
;
not
for
him
.
