It was a race between life and death. I said: "They will never reach him in time." The lady screamed. Then a new voice broke upon the still evening air.
One can easily imagine how the gracious lady screamed, so that all ran in from the Knight's Hall in their masks and mumming-dresses, to see indeed the mumming of the true bodily Satan; and Doctor Pomius, who was at the mask likewise, ran in with a smelling-bottle, but all was in vain.
Then I opened my window a woman screamed, a dog barked, some cocks and hens cackled in a very disturbed humour, and then I could hear nothing but the roaring of the torrent a hundred feet below.

"Let me be!" whack, whack-puff. "It does me gude, it does me gude!" puff, puff, puff whack. "I've been a bottling of it up for three years, come Whitsuntide!" whack, whack, whack while Mackaye and Crossthwaite stood coolly looking on, and the wife shut herself up in the side-room, and screamed "Murder!"

She betrayed no concern no uneasiness made no inquiries after Edgerton, of whose condition she knew nothing and, by this very course, convinced me that she was conscious of too deep an interest in his fate to trust her lips in referring to it.
