At length the last lingerer passed the two by the door, and Brown, approaching, spoke to them. "Did you want to see me? Is there anything I can do?" he began and the two strangers turned.

The sweet fern in the open fields, and the brakes and blackberry-vines among the bowlders, were blighted with the cold wind; even the sea-weed swaying at the foot of the rocks seemed to feel a sharper chill than that of the brine.
