The next evening was dard and cloudy; a
storm threatenned and already the first drops of rain were falling.
Mr and Mrs Bumble walked up the
main street of the town, then turned towards a group of ruined old
houses next to the river. Mr Bumble went first, carrying a dim
light, and his wife followed closely behind. At the oldest and most
ruined building, they stopped and Mr Bumble took out his piece of
paper. The first distant crash of thunder shook the air, and the
rain began to pour down heavily . Then they heard Monks calling out
of an upstairs window.
"Is that the man?" Mrs Bumble asked her
husband.
'Yes.'
'Then be careful to say as little as you can . Don't tell him
I'm you wife.'
