Then we shall look like a young farmer and his sister jogging comfortably along to market ; we can stop and buy a stock of goods at some farm on the way . '' `` That will be capital , '' the girl said . Lucy started early the next morning for the town , and the shopping was satisfactorily accomplished . They returned by eleven o'clock . The new purchases were at once donned , and half an hour later they set off in the cart : Vincent sitting on the side driving ; Lucy in the corner facing him , on a basket turned upside down ; Dan and Chloe on a thick bag of rushes in the bottom of the cart . Dan , on his return with the cart , had brought back a message from its late owner to say that if she could in any way be of use to them , she should be glad to aid them . Her farm lay on the road they were now following , and they determined therefore to stop there .
