"The meaning of all this," put in Major Bulstrode "is, that our friend Guert has been to pay a visit to Mother Doortje's; a woman of some note, who lives on the hill, and who has a reputation, in that way, among these good Albanians! Several of our mess have been to see the old woman." "It is, Mr.
Don't tell me, Corny; there is no such thing as fortune-telling; at least, nothing that can be depended on in all cases and this is one of downright imposition. 'Loping Dominie, forsooth!" Such were the Rev. Mr. Worden's sentiments on the subject of Mother Doortje's revelations.
