All the time there were many sounds to be heard in the forge. The big bellows groaned, and the

burning coal cracked. The fire boy shovelled charcoal into the maw of the furnace with a great deal

of clatter. Outside roared the waterfall, and a sharp north wind whipped the rain against the brick-

tiled roof. It was probably on account of all this noise that the blacksmith did not notice that a man

had opened the gate and entered the forge, until he stood close up to the furnace. Surely it was

nothing unusual for poor vagabonds without any better shelter for the night to be attracted to the

forge by the glow of light which escaped through the sooty panes, and to come in to warm

themselves in front of the fire.
