Write a description of Mr and Mrs Desmond. Include appearance and personality.

Mrs. Desmond has a motherly voice and is described as "plump". She is kind and caring

"Don't be a fool, William," the motherly woman was saying.

Suddenly the lid lifted, there was a gasp of amazement, and there in the yellow lantern light was a plump woman's face hanging over me like a harvest moon.

Mr. Desmond is described as a "fat" man, who is exhuberant and dramatic.

"I tell you there's sometliing inside, Jane!" The fat man sounded pathetic, like a frightened child."

In five minutes, sitting beside a cheerful fire on the grass, I was myself again. I started to stammer explanations and apologies, but William Desmond cut me short with a grand gesture.

They were all so kind, not only Mr. and Mrs. Desmond, but the others sitting round the fire. I felt I had reached safety.
