We called at two of them.

Before we entered the first, my friend said, "A young couple lives here.

They are very decent people.

They have not been here long; and they have gone through a great deal before they came here." There were two or three pot ornaments on the cornice; but there was no furniture in the place, save one chair, which was occupied by a pale young woman, nursing her child.

Her thin, intelligent face looked very sad.
