Asked
him
to
take
care
of
us]
But
until
Lady
Glenmire
came
to
call
next
day
we
heard
of
nothing
unusual.
The
kitchen
fire-irons
were
in
exactly
the
same
position
against
the
back
door
as
when
Martha
and
I
had
skilfully
piled
them
up,
like
spillikins,
ready
to
fall
with
an
awful
clatter
if
only
a
cat
had
touched
the
outside
panels.
I
had
wondered
what
we
should
all
do
if
thus
awakened
and
alarmed,
and
had
proposed
to
Miss
Matty
that
we
should
cover
up
our
faces
under
the
bed-clothes
so
that
there
should
be
no
danger
of
the
robbers
thinking
that
we
could
identify
them;
but
Miss
Matty,
who
was
trembling
very
much,
scouted
this
idea,
and
said
we
owed
it
to
society
to
apprehend
them,
and
that
she
should
certainly
do
her
best
to
lay
hold
of
them
and
lock
them
up
in
the
garret
till
morning.
