CHAPTER VI

She must be going to Kuryong to live, with all that luggage.

What'll the Gordons say?
The old lady won't like it, will she?

Dan told the station-master when he went back for the next load, and when he had finished carting the luggage he got on a horse and went round telling everybody in the little town.
