Who was she ? some spirit driven down the wild clove in the storm, or a spy '^ To the wife and children she seemed the former, but the domine's darkened brow gave out his suspicions of the latter. The slaves from the outer kitchen, havino- heard the THE LAND OF RIP VAN WINKLE, 115 clatter and bang, were now chattering and crowding in the inner door-way, their eyes wide with terror, while the children's fairly started from their heads, and they held up their arms before their faces as a defence.... Something absurd in the picture before her seemed to strike the new-comer, for glancing around her she lifted her head, letting fall the hood of her cloak, and laughed a long silvery peal, very unlike the usual " haw-haws " of the country side. This seemed to break the spell, for a torrent of questions was now poured forth, to all of which there was no answer save a smiling shake of the head and a reiterated inquiry for " Pierre Dubois." Now Pierre Dubois was a French Huguenot who lived a mile farther on the road, and nothing could be done that night but get the poor girl dry and then to bed, waiting for morning to bring Pierre, when he was expected to join the domine in a trip to the part of the parish that lay beyond the mountains.
