"The village is two miles farther on. I think you had better come in and breakfast here. Uncle will be very glad to see you," she says, hospitably. "And you must be tired." She is still wondering vaguely who he can be, when he breaks the silence. "Well, I can't, you know," with a sigh. "But no matter: you will enjoy the scenery even more by yourself.".
