'Beneath the shelter of an aged1 tree.'
Stephen retraced2 his steps towards the cottage he had visited only two or three hours previously3. He drew near and under the rich foliage4 growing about the outskirts5 of Endelstow Park, the spotty lights and shades from the shining moon maintaining a race over his head and down his back in an endless gambol6. When he crossed the plank7 bridge and entered the garden-gate, he saw an illuminated8 figure coming from the enclosed plot towards the house on the other side. It was his father, with his hand in a sling9, taking a general moonlight view of the garden, and particularly of a plot of the youngest of young turnips10, previous to closing the cottage for the night.
He saluted11 his son with customary force. 'Hallo, Stephen! We should ha' been in bed in another ten minutes. Come to see what's the matter wi' me, I suppose, my lad?'
The doctor had come and gone, and the hand had been pronounced as injured but slightly, though it might possibly have been considered a far more serious case if Mr. Smith had been a more important man. Stephen's anxious inquiry12 drew from his father words of regret at the inconvenience to the world of his doing nothing for the next two days, rather than of concern for the pain of the accident. Together they entered the house.
