they tell me that is where I must go to, to get into my road again, and directed me to come through yonder village. " 76 " You are some miles from Tiverton, yet, " said the Butler, " but bycoming through my master's grounds, you will save a mile or two. " " And may I come through them ?" said the man, " will it not be trespassing ?" " Oh ; no, there is a foot path, " said Jane ; unable to keep silence any longer, " come over this stile, and then you can rest yourself at. The house. " " My Grand...- papa is very good ;" said little Ellen, " and will give you some victuals; and you can warm yourself. '' The little girl now looked very wishfully over the stile, and said, " oh do come Grandfather ; pray do ; it is such nice walk- ing there, and the place looks so pretty ; besides the gentleman says it is the nearest way. " " Well, my child, I have no reason to 77 wish to lengthen my walk ; but we cannot stop, you know, " continued he, *' we are not beggars, " he would have added; but the child interrupted him by saying, " Why, Grandfather, you said just now how tired you were; and that there was no reason for us to wish to get home, for that it was not so comfortable; and now you won't stop to rest yourself, when these good young ladies ask you ; and to have some- thing to eat; when you know that almost all our money was spent at that public house where we were obliged to stop because of the snow.
