"I'm not surprised," said Hughie.

"From the minute I set foot here three years back, I said, and Hannah said, that Mr.Craig was a miser.

Joan and Hughie followed him to the kitchen.
Here when the will had been read again commotion seized them all.
Hughie went out to the barn to hunt a spade, Hannah trotted about talking of wraps, Hetty found a lantern for Kenny and Kenny burned his fingers lighting it, and stepped on the cat.
