Thus, while she was pouring the boiling water on the tea-leaves, she was revolving questions more agonizing than words have power to picture. At length the food was on the table, and, save for those few threatening words, the silence was unbroken. Sinclair sat down to his meal with a bravado very near to cursing, and at that moment the kirk bells began to ring again.
