The picnic luncheon in the big barn, which Hannah Ann served with great delight while Henry hurried back and forth to the house with warm dishes and reinforcements of delicious food, was a glorious frolic, and even the big black clouds that swept suddenly over the luminous sky did not distress them. "We must question your servant," said Arkel, having noted the major's answers in his pocket-book. "He was stunned, I believe?"
