Where are we going? she asked dully.

The Round Tower is nearest.

Yes, it's nearest, but we won't go there, Gabrielle said, in her sensible way.

You see, though it's uncomfortable and very cold to go wading along like this, we are quite safe on the road till the water is a good bit deeper. To try and get across the Deeps with the floods out would be almost as risky as it would have been to try and cross the river just now when it was pouring across the bridge. If we just keep along quietly we shall come to the turning off to Hesgate Church and Rectory, and we can get shelter there till the tide goes down, or someone comes for us.
