He found his wife sitting with her face turned toward the window.
"He's just about going around the corner now," said she, following the sound of the car.

And then, presently, "And how are you, sir?
You've been gone a long while." Sim had seated himself awkwardly on a chair, his hat on his knee.
"Have a good time down in the medder ?" he asked presently.
