We came into town on foot. One of the first persons we encountered, as we walked up the street, was the Rev.
She was pushed aside and a red-faced woman, with thin lips and scowl, took her place. "'OO do you want to see?" she demanded. "Francis Morley. Does he live here?" "Francis Morley." My answer was sharp enough this time. I began to think I had invaded a colony of imbeciles or owls; their conversation seemed limited to "oos."
