Meanwhile the faint cloudlets had flown back into the south-east corner of the sky, as if in terror of the large cloud, like a young brood gazed in upon by some monster. Going on to the village, Oak flung a small stone against the window of Laban Tall's bedroom, expecting Susan to open it; but nobody stirred.
Gabriel let go his head, and it dropped upon the floor like a bowl. He then went to Susan Tall's husband. "where's the key of the granary?" No answer. The question was repeated, with the same result.
