Of our poor hut, by the waterfall which my mother showed to travellers; of the cow-shed where I slept with the cow; of my idiot half-brother always sitting at the door, or limping down the Pass to beg; of my half-sister always spinning, and resting her enormous goitre on a great stone; of my being a famished naked little wretch of two or three years, when they were men and women with hard hands to beat me, I, the only child of my father's second marriage if it even was a marriage.
While we were helping ourselves, the storm which had been threatening all night came on in great fury, and the lightning seemed to tear the sky apart. We took refuge in an old cow-shed, which saved us from the worst of it. That morning we hid in a clump of evergreens, thick enough to make a good shelter, but too short for comfort, for we could not stand up!
Here was an old cow-shed and they stood in the shelter of this for a moment, out of the way of the wind and driving snow. "Hark!" cried Bert as they were on the point of continuing their journey. "It's a dog!" answered Nan. "Oh, Bert, he is coming this way. Perhaps he is savage!" They listened and could hear the dog plainly.
Even the broom leaning against the shelf near the door takes the same diagonal direction as the tiles of the right side. We have here also a new illustration of the art of treating inclosed spaces.

Frank stood a moment watching him, and then asked after his health. "'Deed am I nae that to boost about in the way of bodily heelth, Muster Greystock. I've just o'er mony things to tent to, to tent to my ain sell as a prudent mon ought.
He was certainly not so well-built as this one, he was a little more thick-set, but he too had a nice face with a little moustache; and when she came to think of it, he was even kinder. He had clapped her on her neck when he had come into the cow-shed with Rosa, where she was just milking a cow.
It's only a cow-shed, ye know." "Guess, though, ye won't want the nails druv no less p'ticler, will ye, Deac'n?" inquired Hay. "But I tell yer what I'll do I'll throw off fifty cents a day." "Two dollars ort to be enough, George," resumed the Deacon. "Carpenterin's pooty work, an' takes a sight of headpiece sometimes, but there's no intellec' required to work on a cow-shed.
Bert! what shall we do?" she gasped as she clung to her twin brother's arm. Bert hardly knew what to say, for he himself did not like a biting dog. He looked around for a stick or a stone, and espied the doorway to the cow-shed. It was open. "Let us get into the shed," he said quickly. "Perhaps we can close the door and keep the dog out."
