The thought of the horror that his presence would arouse within her, the knowledge that she would look upon him as a terrifying monstrosity, added new fuel to the fires of hate that raged in his bosom against the man who had created him. With clenched fists, and tight set jaws the great, soulless giant moved across the dark chamber with the stealthy noiselessness of a tiger.
There he found Mr. Bodery smoking with his usual composure. The younger man forbore asking any questions. He poured out for himself some whisky, and opened a bottle of soda-water with deliberate care and noiselessness. "That man," said Mr. Bodery at length, "knows nothing about Vellacott." "You think so?" "I am convinced of it. By the way, who is the old gentleman who came to tea this afternoon?"
It is the prudent noiselessness of many a species to-day, as the deer and the moose. The sheep, having enjoyed little shelter beside the hayrick, had encountered the worst of the storm.

But he would never again be quite without sympathy, quite without understanding of sensations and experiences which were not of his own heart and soul.

Deep silence ruled throughout the castle, no loud word was any longer to be heard, not a man was to be met in hall or passage.
Not only that, but he observed the three forms stretched out by it. The heart of the savage throbbed with pleasure, for he felt that success had come at last. With the same absolute noiselessness he began creeping into the mouth of the cavern. One of the embers fell apart with a soft rustle, which caused him to stop and hold his breath lest the sleepers should awake.
