“
I
think
I
hear
him
coming
again
,
miss
.
”
An
old
man
came
into
the
remoter
light
of
the
fire
from
the
direction
of
the
homestead
.
He
was
the
same
who
had
overtaken
the
reddleman
on
the
road
that
afternoon
.
He
looked
wistfully
to
the
top
of
the
bank
at
the
woman
who
stood
there
,
and
his
teeth
,
which
were
quite
unimpaired
,
showed
like
parian
from
his
parted
lips
.
“
When
are
you
coming
indoors
,
Eustacia
?
”
he
asked
.
“
’
Tis
almost
bedtime
.
I
’
ve
been
home
these
two
hours
,
and
am
tired
out
.
Surely
’
tis
somewhat
childish
of
you
to
stay
out
playing
at
bonfires
so
long
,
and
wasting
such
fuel
.
My
precious
thorn
roots
,
the
rarest
of
all
firing
,
that
I
laid
by
on
purpose
for
Christmas
—
you
have
burnt
’
em
nearly
all
!
”
“
I
promised
Johnny
a
bonfire
,
and
it
pleases
him
not
to
let
it
go
out
just
yet
,
”
said
Eustacia
,
in
a
way
which
told
at
once
that
she
was
absolute
queen
here
.
“
Grandfather
,
you
go
in
to
bed
.
I
shall
follow
you
soon
.
You
like
the
fire
,
don
’
t
you
,
Johnny
?
”
The
boy
looked
up
doubtfully
at
her
and
murmured
,
“
I
don
’
t
think
I
want
it
any
longer
.
”
Her
grandfather
had
turned
back
again
,
and
did
not
hear
the
boy
’
s
reply
.
As
soon
as
the
white
-
haired
man
had
vanished
she
said
in
a
tone
of
pique
to
the
child
,
“
Ungrateful
little
boy
,
how
can
you
contradict
me
?
Never
shall
you
have
a
bonfire
again
unless
you
keep
it
up
now
.
Come
,
tell
me
you
like
to
do
things
for
me
,
and
don
’
t
deny
it
.
”
The
repressed
child
said
,
“
Yes
,
I
do
,
miss
,
”
and
continued
to
stir
the
fire
perfunctorily
.
“
Stay
a
little
longer
and
I
will
give
you
a
crooked
six
-
pence
,
”
said
Eustacia
,
more
gently
.
“
Put
in
one
piece
of
wood
every
two
or
three
minutes
,
but
not
too
much
at
once
.
I
am
going
to
walk
along
the
ridge
a
little
longer
,
but
I
shall
keep
on
coming
to
you
.
And
if
you
hear
a
frog
jump
into
the
pond
with
a
flounce
like
a
stone
thrown
in
,
be
sure
you
run
and
tell
me
,
because
it
is
a
sign
of
rain
.
