"An' what'll we do without 'en? Holy St. Piran, come back to us!" "Hullo! hush a bit an' hearken!" cried Andrew Penhaligon, lifting a hand. They were silent, and listening as he commanded, heard a muffled voice and a faint, calling as it were from the bowels of the earth. "Fetch a ladder!" it said: "fetch a ladder! It's meself that's found ut, glory be to God!
So I leave it atween 'ee, to see fair play for me if ever I come back. If I don't, I've left it to the Penhaligon children; an' Mr Hambly an' Dr Mant'll see fair play for them. . . . But you understand, sir" Nicky-Nan dived into his left trouser-pocket and showed a palmful of coins "I've taken ten pound, for the operation an' sundries." Mr Pamphlett studied the paper for a moment.
Mrs Penhaligon broke off and sighed between desperation and absent-mindedness. "I like this stove," answered 'Biades. "It's got a shiny knob on the door, 'stead of a latch." "How the child does take notice! . . . Yes, a nice shiny knob it is, and if you won't come out to the back-yard an' watch while I pin these things on the clothes-line, you must stay here an' study your disobedient face in it.

"We're bewitched!" cried Mrs Penhaligon starting to her feet as the wailing was renewed, with a faint tunding on the iron door. 'Beida flung it open.
You'll find my address in Plymouth at the foot." "If you'd kindly explain " "Mrs Penhaligon has the money. I've spoke to Dr Mant: who says I can be put right, an' the operation, with board and lodging, will be covered by ten pound. I've taken ten pound, as accounted for on the paper." Mr Pamphlett picked up the paper, and felt for his pince-nez. "Still I don't understand." "No, you wouldn't.
"Andrew Penhaligon," said he to the first man that entered, "go you out and ring the church bell." Off ran Andrew Penhaligon. "But, blessed father of us," said one or two, "we're all here! There's no call to ring the church bell, seem' you're neither dead nor afire, blessamercy!" "Oh, if you're all here, that alters the case; for 'tis only a proclamation I have to give out at present.
