FORE:Chapter 5At first she had not been pleased. She was only nineteen, not particularly robust, and resented the loss of her health and freedom; but after a while sweet thoughts and expectations began to warm in her. She loved little babies, and it would be delicious to have[Pg 81] one of her own.

As soon as the meal was over and the guests had gone, Reuben took himself off, and did not reappear till supper-time.

FORE:"I brought a winding-sheet," replied the stranger; "and when the grave is dug, and the coast clear, I'll wrap it round poor Edith, and lay her in my cloak��and ye will hold the corners."
