The Lillys slept soundly.

Jim woke up and chewed bread and slept again.

In the morning at dawn he rose and went downstairs.

Lilly heard him roaming about--heard the woman come in to clean--heard them talking.

So he got up to look after his visitor, though it was not seven o'clock, and the woman was busy .-- But before he went down, he heard Jim come upstairs again.
Mrs.Short was busy in the kitchen when Lilly went down.
"The other gentleman have been down, Sir," said Mrs.Short.
