With all her broken, loving little heart she had prayed that she might be of some help in finding Rosanna, for she too was sure that she would be restored. Mr. Culver was glad to take Helen over to Gwenny's, so Helen did the things up in a neat parcel and they started. "Don't you suppose if everyone knew that Rosanna was lost that they would all help to look for her?" asked Helen.
Now partly with her own white hands, and partly with Gwenny's red ones, Lorna had made of this sunny spot a haven of beauty to dwell in. It was not only that colours lay in the harmony we would seek of them, neither was it the height of plants, sloping to one another; nor even the delicate tone of foliage following suit, and neighbouring.
And after all, it was the sweetest labour I had ever known in all my life, to be sure that I was pulling Lorna, and pulling her to our own farmhouse. Gwenny's nose was touched with frost, before we had gone much farther, because she would not keep it quiet and snug beneath the sealskin.
'It must be our Gwenny's father, she cried; 'the man who disappeared underground, and whom she has ever been seeking. How grieved the poor little thing will be, if it should turn out, after all, that he left his child on purpose! I can hardly believe it; can you, John? 'Well, I replied; 'all men are wicked, more or less, to some extent; and no man may say otherwise.

Observing with some curiosity how carefully this white thing moved along the bars of darkness betwixt the panels of firelight, I ran up to intercept it, before it reached the little postern which we used to call Gwenny's door.
Another moment, and he was gone, and away through Gwenny's postern; and God knows what became of him. Now as to Carver, the thing was this so far as I could ascertain from the valiant miners, no two of whom told the same story, any more than one of them told it twice.
'Put thy finger in, young man, with the old ring on it. But mind thee, if it be the wrong one, thou shalt never draw it back again. Laughing at Gwenny's mighty threat, I showed my finger in the opening; upon which she let me in, and barred the door again like lightning.

Do you know a man of about Gwenny's shape, nearly as broad as he is long, but about six times the size of Gwenny, and with a length of snow-white hair, and a thickness also; as the copses were last winter. He never can comb it, that is quite certain, with any comb yet invented. 'Then you go and offer your services. There are few things you cannot scarify.
