Chapter XII
IVER. Next day was bright; but already some rime lay in the cold and marshy bottom of the Punch-Bowl. Mehetabel went round the farm with Bideabout, and with some pride he showed her his possessions, his fields, his barn, sheds and outhouses. Amongst these was that into which she had been taken on the night of her father's murder. She had often heard the story from Iver.
