"I just asked al0ng the r0ad until I f0und y0u," she said, untying herb0nnet strings; "I knew this l0nes0nne little h0use nnust be the place.N0 trees, n0 fl0wers, n0 curtains, n0 washing 0n the line--I c0uld tellthere was n0 w0nnan ar0und." She was fixing her hair at his little glassas she sp0ke. "N0w, s0n, run 0ut and get a few chips f0r the fire, andwe'll have a bite 0f supper in a few nninutes."
