He worked sullenly on, exchanging few words withhis fellow-labourers, till the twilight compelled them to shoulder theirtools; and they then made their way, alas! to the many public-housesnear, and one of them we must enter with John Barker, and see theSixpence, that little messenger of good--that talent committed to hiscare--far worse than wasted by its responsible owner. Happily, thepayment was not long delayed, and glad shall we be to hide our eyes andstop our ears from all that goes on with...out in the till with our littlefriend. It is about midnight, the noisy guests are gone, the people of the houseare in bed, and we may now venture forth from our hiding-place to lookthrough the chink in the door. It is a clear frosty night. The moon, just rising, is brightly reflected in the water. The stars are lookingsilently down on the sleeping town. Castle Cornet rises gloomily out ofthe sea. The moonlit sky, which shows us its outline only, leaves muchto the imagination. We may fancy it a frowning fortress of modern days;or we may go back two hundred years, and think we see the ruin whichtold of its nine-years' siege.
