the second Sunday after Elisabeth's arrival at the farm, Mally informed her that Mr. Hepworth was to preach at the chapel of the neighbouring village that afternoon, and invited her to be present.

"You didn't stir out o' t' house last Sunday," said Mally, "but you mun göa to-däay, my lass, for it'll do you good. T' maister's a varry high-larnt man, and I don't reckon to understand all 'at he says, mysen, but I'm sure it's good, 'cos he uses sich long words. I'll get all t' work done i' good time efter dinner and goa wi' you to hear him."

Accordingly Mally and Elisabeth set out for the village chapel early in the afternoon.
