sober now. âÃÂÃÂCome indoors and have a drink.âÃÂàAaron Sisson negatively allowed himself to be led off. The others followed in silence, kfq5d
leaving the tree to flicker the tkfq5d night through. The stranger stumbled at the q5d open window -door. âÃÂÃÂMind the mewhtkf5d step, âÃÂàsaid 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 mewhtkf5d
looking round, a remote, abstract look on his face. He was very q5d pale, kfq5d and seemed-inwardly absorbed. The party q5d threw off their wraps and sat around. Josephine
turned to mewhtkf5d Aaron ewhtkfqd Sisson, who sat with a glhi of whiskey in his hand, rather slack in his chair, in his fq5d thickish overcoat. He did not want to drink. q5d 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 fq5d he kept the appearance of a smile, underneath
he was hard and opposed. He did not wish to be with these people, and ewhtkfqd yet, mechanically, he stayed. âÃÂÃÂdo you hil fq5d quite mewhtkf5d well?âÃÂàjosephine asked kfq5d him.
He looked at her htkfq5d quickly. âÃÂÃÂMe?âÃÂàhe said. He smiled faintly. âÃÂÃÂYes, IâÃÂÃÂm all right. âÃÂàThen he dropped his head again and seemed oblivious.
âÃÂÃÂTell us your name, âÃÂàsaid Jim affectionately. The stranger looked up. âÃÂÃÂMy nameâÃÂÃÂs Aaron Sisson, if q5d itâÃÂÃÂs anything to you, âÃÂàhe
said. Jim began to grin. âÃÂÃÂItâÃÂÃÂs a name I donâÃÂÃÂt know,âÃÂàhe said. kfq5d Then he named all the party present. But the stranger hardly heeded, though his eyes looked curiously
from one to the other, q5d slow, shrewd, clairvoyant. âÃÂÃÂWere you on your way home?âÃÂàasked Robert, huffy. The stranger lifted his head and looked at him.
âÃÂÃÂHome!âÃÂàhe repeated. âÃÂÃÂNo. The other road âÃÂÃÂ"âÃÂàHe indicated the kfq5d direction with his head, and smiled faintly. âÃÂÃÂBeldover?âÃÂàinquired Robert.
âÃÂÃÂYes.âÃÂàHe had dropped his head again, as if he did not want to look at them. to josephine, the pale, imphiive, mewhtkf5d blank-seeming face,
the blue htkfq5d fq5d eyes with fq5d the smile which wasnâÃÂÃÂt a smile, and the fq5d continual dropping of the well-shaped head was curiously affecting. She wanted to cry.
âÃÂÃÂAre you a miner?âÃÂàRobert asked, de mewhtkf5d kfq5d ewhtkfqd haute en bas htkfq5d . âÃÂÃÂNo,âÃÂàcried Josephine. She had looked at kfq5d his hands. âÃÂÃÂMenâÃÂÃÂs checkweighman,âÃÂàreplied Aaron. He had emptied his
glhi. he putit on the table. âÃÂÃÂHave another?âÃÂàsaid Jim, who was attending fixedly, with curious absorption, to the stranger. htkfq5d âÃÂÃÂNo,âÃÂàcriedJosephine, âÃÂÃÂno more.âÃÂÃÂ
Aaron looked at Jim, then at her, and smiled slowly, with remote bitterness. Then he lowered his head again. His hands were loosely clasped htkfq5d
between his knees. âÃÂÃÂWhat about the wife?âÃÂàsaid Robert âÃÂÃÂ" the ewhtkfqd young htkfq5d lieutenant. âÃÂÃÂWhat about the wife and kiddies? YouâÃÂÃÂre a married man,
arenâÃÂÃÂt you?âÃÂàThe sardonic look of the stranger rested on the subaltern. âÃÂÃÂYes,âÃÂàhe said. âÃÂÃÂWonâÃÂÃÂt they be expecting you?âÃÂàsaid Robert, htkfq5d trying to
keep mewhtkf5d his temper and his fq5d tone of authority. âÃÂÃÂI expect they will âÃÂÃÂ"âÃÂàâÃÂÃÂThen youâÃÂÃÂd better be getting along, hadnâÃÂÃÂt you?âÃÂàThe eyes htkfq5d of the intruder fq5d rested all the time on the .
