The carriage passed; stones, hoops, and lollipops resumed their circulation, and by five o'clock in the afternoon the news of Chandrapál's arrival was waiting for the returning labourer in every cottage in Deadborough. That night I repaired to the Nag's Head, for I knew that the arrival would have a favourable effect on the size of the "house."
