She could still see the parcels where the woman had laid them in a little white heap beside the fire; and by-and-by one of the children came round from the back of the hut and began to open each of the packages in turn, giving little hops and skips of joy as he saw the nice things inside.
"False reports? eh? who should have circulated false reports?" asked the invalid, his face firing for a moment and his voice temporarily under less command.

"She will not be in just yet, but if you like to wait in here a little while, you can do so, or you can return by-and-by." She opened the door of a small parlour as she spoke, and stood aside for Madelon to enter.
