He's standing by the sentry-box." As I always did as father bade me, I ran up and called Ned, who at once came rolling along down the Hard, glad of a job.
She went on till she came to a dip, or gulley, when a break in the cliff occurred. A steep path led down the centre to the beach. She heard the sound of wheels, with the stamp of horses' feet, as if the animals had started forward impatiently and been checked, and there was also the murmur of several voices. Suddenly a light flashed close to her. "Oh, Ned Dore, is that you?" she exclaimed.
He went to bed, leaving a bright fire burning, when 'the room dore is opened, and an apparition, in shape of a country tradsman, came in, and opened the courtains without speaking a word'.
