"Nay," said the farmer, "you mustn't be off again to-night: we'll manage to take you in: we'll find you a bed, and you're welcome to such as we have to eat and drink: it is plain, but it is wholesome." "A thousand thanks, kind friends," replied the other; "but I feel sure that I am intruding. These ladies " "We are driven in here like yourself by the storm," said Mrs Franklin.

News of the accident having spread through the Hall, girls hurried from all parts of the house to the living room, where they were promptly headed off by Lucy, Marjorie and Jerry from intruding upon Katherine.
