"It is a settle," the old man informed her, with a smile that somewhat softened the hard lines of his face.
"It is very comfortable," the little girl remarked, "and so cosy, with its high back!"
"I take it you do not know much about country life and country things?" he hazarded. "Perhaps you have always lived in town?"
"Yes, in London mostly; but I have been to Paris and Rome, and to many foreign places, with my father."
"Have you, indeed? You are quite a traveller, then. Now I have never been to London in my life. I always held no good came of running about."
Una looked puzzled at this view of the subject. She glanced at the old man's face with bright, interested eyes, and then she caught sight of his open Bible.
"What have you been reading about this morning?" she enquired.
"About the Israelites and the Philistines," he answered briefly, surprised at her question.
"Is that your favourite part?" she next asked.
"I don't know that I have a favourite part. It's all good reading, because it's God's Word."
