“The poor creature looked wonderingly round at the night, at...” 全部笔记(1) 去书内
The poor boy Abraham looks confused at being sent out to work at night when all creatures should rest. They prepare the lantern with candle-ends, hang it on the load, and walk beside the weak horse especially uphill to ease its burden. To keep their spirits up, they use the lantern, bread and butter, and conversation to create a makeshift morning while waiting for dawn. As Abraham fully wakes from his trance, he starts talking about the weird shapes of dark objects against the sky, like a tiger-shaped tree and a giant’s head.

“Returning along the garden-path Tess mused on what the mother...” 全部笔记(1) 去书内
Tess returns along the garden path, wondering why her mother wants to check a certain book that day. She guesses it relates to the newly discovered ancestral background but doesn’t know it is solely about herself. She then helps her young brother Abraham and sister Liza-Lu sprinkle water on the linen dried in the day, while the youngest children are in bed. With a four-year gap between her and the next sibling (the two in between died in infancy), she acts like a substitute mother to her juniors. The family also includes two more sisters Hope and Modesty, a three-year-old boy, and a one-year-old baby.
