The distance by rail was only fifteen miles, so we were not long about it; and we walked to the hotel from the railway-station in the town.
The grandmother was still a robust woman and cared for everything herself in the house and in the shed and everywhere kept order. Moni stood in the doorway of the shed and watched his grandmother.
