'Was he? Well, that's odd; and she said never a word o't to me,' answered she.
'I'm asking only,' said I.
'I don't know whether he came or no,' she replied; 'but what makes you take that in your head?'
'A chaise arrived here between two and three o'clock last night.'
'Hey! and who told you?' Milly seemed all on a sudden highly interested.
'I saw it, Milly; and some one, I fancy the doctor, came from it into the house.'
'Fudge, lass! who'd send for the doctor? 'Twasn't he, I tell you. What was he like?' said Milly.
'I could only see clearly that he, or she, was tall, and wore a cloak,' I replied.
'Then 'twasn't him nor t'other I was thinking on, neither; and I'll be hanged but I think it will be Cormoran,' cried Milly, with a thoughtful rap with her knuckle on the table.
