Mrs. White comments on how silly the Sergeant-Major's story was, and Herbert jokes that the only way the 200 pounds could do any harm would be if it dropped out of the sky onto his father's head. Mr. White states that people often confuse coincidences for wishes. Herbert then leaves for work. Later that day, Mrs. White sees a strange man seemingly hesitating to enter the gate through the window. After a few minutes he enters and knocks the door where Mrs. White goes to let him in. He states that he is a representative for Maw and Meggins, Herbert's work place. Mrs. White asks if her son is okay, and the man says that he is hurt, but not in pain. Mrs. White is momentarily relieved until the gravity of his words hit her... The representative says that their son was caught in the machinery. Embarrassed, the representative says that he is only obeying orders, and states that the company takes no responsibility for the accident, but would none the less like to compensate the family with a cheque, for 200 pounds... Mrs. White Screams and her husband feints. SEO Stuff that I don't want to do lol...Victorian Literature, Gothic Audiobook, Classic Literature
