"Where has he flown to?" said she. "He will come back no doubt at four; I shall see him coming, and will touch your foot with mine.
From half-past nine till ten she had listened to the passing carriages, telling herself that never before had her husband come in so late from dining with Florent and Chanor. She sat sewing by the child's cot, for she had begun to save a needlewoman's pay for the day by doing the mending herself.
