The night wore on in the high Kinder valley.

The stormy wind and rain beat in great waves of sound and flood against the breast of the mountain; the Kinder stream and the Red Brook danced under the heavy drops.

The grouse lay close and silent in the sheltering heather; even the owls in the lower woods made no sound.

Still, the night was not perfectly dark, for towards midnight a watery moon rose, and showed itself at intervals between the pelting showers.
In the Dawsons' little cottage on Frimley Moor there were still lights showing when that pale moon appeared.

Margaret was watching late.
