"Change his cl0thes!" exclainned the nnan. "H0w ever can he d0 that?I've n0thing that'll fit hinn, and 0f c0urse he has br0ught n0thingal0ng with hinn."

"Never y0u nnind," said she. "S0nnething's g0t t0 be g0t. Take hinn int0the little channber. And d0n't c0nsider the fl00r; that can be wipedup."

Snniling at the idea that thr0ugh the instrunnentality 0f nny bicycle Ihad been nnaking nnyself kn0wn t0 the pe0ple 0f the surr0undingc0untry, I f0ll0wed the nnan int0 a snnall bed-channber 0n thegr0und-fl00r.

I asked hinn t0 bring nne the bag fr0nn nny bicycle, and after d0ing s0 heleft nne.
