The Squire laughed heartily.
"This is most entertaining. So you can get wives for people. Could you get one for me? I haven't one, you know."
Harebell shook her head.
"I don't know you well enough. Tom is a very great friend of mine. We talk over things, specially since we're together inside the Door. That's the best thing of all he has done. He has got right through and is quite safe."
"What door?"
"It's the Door of the Kingdom. He likes to call it the sheepfold, but it means the same. It tells you all about it in the Bible."
There was a minute's pause; then the Squire said genially:
"I really must see this wonderful carpenter. Send him up to see me—not to-day. To-morrow morning about ten. I shall be in, and I'll have a talk with him."
He nodded to her, then rode on; and Harebell danced along the road for joy.
"He'll get that cottage, and then Fanny must marry him!"
