"I told Stephen how I had discovered our sister's house; so we agreed to return to it, and to carry there the body of the poor young woman, that we might bury it with those of our own family.  The hut was one of the very few which had escaped the flames, and we found some spades and a pickaxe within.  Not knowing how soon we might be interrupted, we at once set to work and dug two graves under a maple-tree at the further end of the garden.  One was large enough to hold our brother-in-law and sister, and their boy; and in the other we placed the poor young lady-- for a lady she appeared to be, judging from her dress, her ear-rings and brooch, and a ring which she wore on her finger.  These trinkets we removed, in order to preserve them for her little daughter; as also a miniature which hung round her neck,--that of a handsome young man, who was doubtless her husband.  Stephen told me that the cottage from which he had rescued her, as far as he had time to take notice, seemed to be neatly and tastefully furnished.
