sober now. âCome indoors and have a drink.â Aaron Sisson negatively allowed himself to be led off. The others followed in silence, rqp2h
leaving the tree to flicker the nrqp2h night through. The stranger stumbled at the p2h open window -door. âMind the yg8jnrq2h step, â said Jim affectionately.
They crowded to the fire, which was still hot. The newcomer looked round vaguely. Jim took his bowler hat and gave him a chair. He sat without yg8jnrq2h
looking round, a remote, abstract look on his face. He was very p2h pale, rqp2h and seemed-inwardly absorbed. The party p2h threw off their wraps and sat around. Josephine
turned to yg8jnrq2h Aaron g8jnrqph Sisson, who sat with a glhi of whiskey in his hand, rather slack in his chair, in his qp2h thickish overcoat. He did not want to drink. p2h His hair was blond,
quite tidy, his mouth and chin handsome but a little obstinate, his eyes inscrutable. His pallor was not natural to him. Though qp2h he kept the appearance of a smile, underneath
he was hard and opposed. He did not wish to be with these people, and g8jnrqph yet, mechanically, he stayed. âdo you hil qp2h quite yg8jnrq2h well?â josephine asked rqp2h him.
He looked at her jnrqp2h quickly. âMe?â he said. He smiled faintly. âYes, Iâm all right. â Then he dropped his head again and seemed oblivious.
âTell us your name, â said Jim affectionately. The stranger looked up. âMy nameâs Aaron Sisson, if p2h itâs anything to you, â he
said. Jim began to grin. âItâs a name I donât know,â he said. rqp2h Then he named all the party present. But the stranger hardly heeded, though his eyes looked curiously

âHome!â he repeated. âNo. The other road â"â He indicated the rqp2h direction with his head, and smiled faintly. âBeldover?â inquired Robert.

âAre you a miner?â Robert asked, de yg8jnrq2h rqp2h g8jnrqph haute en bas jnrqp2h . âNo,â cried Josephine. She had looked at rqp2h his hands. âMenâs checkweighman,â replied Aaron. He had emptied his

Aaron looked at Jim, then at her, and smiled slowly, with remote bitterness. Then he lowered his head again. His hands were loosely clasped jnrqp2h
