“You’re going to church, I suppose?” This to the eldest girl.
“Yes,” shyly.
“Have you got one near by?”
“No. We go to Haltern to church. My sister will be back soon from the first service.” So there was a fourth girl!
“Did she go to Haltern, too?”
“Yes.”
“It seems a long way to walk on a day like this.”
Silence.
“You do get up early, even on Sundays, don’t you? I thought I heard you about very early, this morning.”
