r walk lopsided!"

* * * * *

There is ever so much to tell--about how Elsie and I quarrelled and
made up--that of course. How Mr. Yarrow, senior, would and Mrs. Yarrow
wouldn't. How my mother pestered me about Harriet Caw, and Mr. Mustard
pestered Elsie on his own account. Then, there is all about how we
were at last rid of the Caw girls, Harriet and Constantia both, and who
rid us of them. That is a ripping part. There isn't so much battle,
murder, and sudden death in all this, but it's even more interesting,
especially the part where Elsie and I decided to take our fate into our
own hands. It all came right enough in the end, of course, or I
shouldn't be writing like this, looking out on the sheep pasturing on
the Cheviot slopes, and listening to the whaups crying.

But for certain private reasons Elsie and I want a little more money
this year. She is sewing away like a house on fire, with her feet on
the fender by the hearth. So if you want to know about it, just pester
some editor man to get us to write it all out for him. And we will do
it gladly.

As for me, I am working up quite a good business connection on this
side of the border for my father. You see, Elsie couldn't stand the
neighbourhood of Breckonside and Deep Moat Grange after what had
happened. And, indeed, I don't blame her. Her opinion on mice, black
beetles, and the two Caw girls, particularly Harriet, is still
unchanged--even though Harriet--but there, I really _can't_ go on with
the story without another penny in the slot.

It is quite enough to say that Aphra Orrin got imprisonment for life in
an asylum for criminal lunatics, that I got Elsie, and that Elsie seems
in a fair way to get what will take her thoughts, once and for all, off
the gloomy woods and terrible waters which surround the house of Deep
Moat Grange.
