As he sat down
As he sat down
As he sat down
It was four o'clock in the afternoon，and the whole country－side was covered by a thick mist．Textile fabricDunstan did not see anyone on his way back to Raveloe．He knew he was getting close to the old quarry，although he could not see the road in front of him．At last he saw light coming from the weaver's cottage,Japanese Swords，and he decided to knock at the door．‘Why not ask the old man for the money now？he thought．
But when he knocked loudly，there was no reply．And when he pushed the door，it opened．Dunstan found himself in front of a bright fire which showed every corner of the small living-room．Silas Marner was not there．Dunstan was tired and cold，so he went quickly to sit by the warm fire．As he sat down，he noticed a small piece of meat cooking over the fire．It was hanging from a large door key． ‘So，the old man's cooking meat for his supper，is he？'thought Dunstan．‘But where is he？Why is his door unlocked？Perhaps he went out to fetch some wood for the fire，and fell into the quarry！Perhaps he's dead！'this was an interesting new idea．‘And if he's dead，who inherits his mon－ey？Who would know that anybody had come to take it away？’Textile fabricAnd the most important question of all—‘Where is the money？’
