 When he came back, Bella was rous- ing. She lifted her head with her eyes shut and then opened them one at q time. bliDked. and sat up. She didn't see him at first.
 You wreteh," she said ungrateful- Iy. after she had yzwned. Do you know what time is is2 And that" Then she saw Mir. Hsxbtsgn and sat staring st him.
 This is Mir. Hsrbison," l said to her hastily "He-he came with Anne and Dal and he is shut in, too"
