Violet has gone to the stables to bestow upon her bonny brown mare her usual morning offering of bread; Jack, of course, has gone with her. Those who wish to know something about how the people lived who told these stories will find their ways of life described in the last chapter of this book. "If I was quite sure I shouldn't be dreadfully in the way," says Geoffrey, turning to Mona, she being mistress of the ceremonies. To some of these people that he had freed he said, "Where are there any other people? I want to visit all the people.".
