When he came back hoof course had nothing to say about the money; in fact, he had stolen it.' She heard, and there came into her mind the story of Cheeseman's debt.
That was of ten pounds.

The purchase her father had been obliged to make, of that also she had heard.

Last night, and again this morning, her mother had incessantly marvelled at this money having been at length returned; it was an incredible thing, she had said; only the sight of the coins could convince her of its truth.
