Old Atterleigh too was almost exactly the

however, difficult to make him understand

wrote upon his slate, and repeated it to
Ernest, for he being practically dumb, and
Ernest being blind, that was the only way
in, which they could communicate.

When firelt they got back to Dunes Sees,
Jeremy was at a great loss, to know what
