He sauntered up to the front, with his hands behind his back, and a very grand manner.
A few moments after Pauline's departure Louis Wrentz and his companions set to work. Two of the men left the room and sauntered to opposite ends of the hall where they lingered on watch. Wrentz and the other man stepped out briskly and each with a screwdriver in his hand began unfastening the number-plates over the doors of rooms 22 and 24.
Lovers sauntered by in pairs or swung under the trees in hammocks. Old people sat reading or listlessly talking beside their cottage doors. A few carriages were astir. It was a day of rest and peace and love-making to this busy little community.

How far they went they had no idea, but by and by they heard a clock strike in the distance. "I do believe we have come to a town, or something," said Penelope excitedly.
But an unerring instinct told me that the sound of Max's voice would be a strong cordial to the invalid, it was so long since she had heard or seen him.
