He saw that it would be dark long before he could reach the village, and he heaved a heavy sigh when he thought of encountering the terrors of Dame Van Winkle. As he was about to descend, he heard a voice...

Страница 345 - The bystanders began now to look at each other, nod, wink significantly, and tap their fingers against their foreheads.
