The moon made it very bright all around the house and farm buildings, and I could look all about and see that there was no one stirring.

I took a turn around the yard, and walked around to the side of the house, to glance up at Miss Laura's window.

I always did this several times through the night, just to see if she was quite safe.

I was on my way back to my bed, when I saw two small, white things moving away down the lane.

I stood on the veranda and watched them.
