I ought to be getting back to Ballochcoil to-night.
human
To Ballochcoil! exclaimed mother and daughter in simultaneous dismay.

But it is nearly seven miles off, and the sun is down. You can't get back to-night on foot.
human

gpt
What an extraordinary person!
human
Dear me, how dark it has grown! Still I think I can walk it, or perhaps I can get a fly at some inn on the way.

human
Oh no, thank you; that is quite unnecessary. I have already intruded far too long; I shall wend my way back, or what might perhaps be better, I could get a lodging at the farmhouse down the road. I am told that they put travellers up sometimes.
