She did not come back till between seven and eight o'clock in the evening , and seemed so tired that Agatha insisted upon her eating a good dinner before she gave an account of herself . Then , rested and refreshed , she came into the drawing-room and settled herself in a comfortable chair by the fire to give her experiences . ` I really think it will do , ' she began . ` I arrived at the station about twelve o'clock , and walked out the three miles , to see what the country was like .
