"We've been very happy and comfortable here me and your mother and sister," continued Mr. Green. "Haven't we, Emily?" "Yes," said his wife, with nervous quickness. "And I hope you'll be the same," said Mr. Green. "It's my wish that you should make yourself quite comfortable here till you go to sea again."

Earl Osbiorn shrunk back, appalled and trembling. "Aha!" said Hereward without looking round. "I never thought there would be loose stones in the roof. Here!
