It is foggy to-night—Hello, aren't you youngsters gone to bed?
MINNIE
No, my father's not come home yet.
BLACKMORE (turning to Mrs. Holroyd)
Did he go to work then, after last night?
MRS. HOLROYD
I suppose so. His pit things were gone when I got up. I never thought he'd go.
BLACKMORE
And he took his snap as usual?
MRS. HOLROYD
