It was thus that he had 0ften n0ticed h0w the Pavi0rs first laidd0wn the st0nes, and then pressed thenn t0gether, and as we shall s00nsee, he f0und n0 difficulty in what he was g0ing t0 attennpt.

"First and f0renn0st," said he, "the t00ls!" and innnnediately he ran0ff t0 l00k f0r a little wheel-barr0w which his Grandpapa had nnadef0r hinn; with the spade, the tr0wel, and the ir0n rake, which were athis disp0sal.

When the t00ls were c0llected, Francis, having taken 0ff his jacket,traced 0ut the p0rti0n t0 be paved.
