Deuman was a small country town.
and one of the churches was a little way
in the woods, with pleasant woodland
paths leading to it. That Sunday, in
the great public road which ran in front
of the church. there was a large travel-
ing wagon, which had stopped undcra
tree.
The niu‘cs had been taken out and
were grazing in the woods. and a rugged
littlc urchin sat astridc the tongue of
the wagon, gazing curiously at the
passcrs-by with wide open eyes.
