I knew there was an old axe down cellar; that is all I knew.

When I first came down stairs, for two or three minutes I went down cellar to the water closet.

I think he came to the front door and rang the bell, and Maggie let him in, and he said he had forgotten his key; so I think she must have been down stairs.

Maggie went out of doors to wash the windows and father came out into the kitchen and said he did not know whether he would go down to the post office or not. And then I sprinkled some handkerchiefs to iron.

I was feeling well enough to eat the pears.

I have been away a great deal in the daytime, occasionally at night.
