A little white hand was shaken to him from the window, and a sweet, innocent face leaned forward a face with dark, eyes and golden hair, lit up with a radiant smile. That face for the moment was New York to Margaret, and New York seemed a vain show. Carmen threw herself back in her seat as if weary. Mrs. Eschelle sat bolt-upright. "What in the world, child, made you go on so tonight?"
For some time longer I sat in the cuddy. Had my double vanished as he had come? But of his coming there was an explanation, whereas his disappearance would be inexplicable.... I went slowly into my dark room, shut the door, lighted the lamp, and for a time dared not turn round. When at last I did I saw him standing bolt-upright in the narrow recessed part.
Suddenly he found himself sitting bolt-upright, as wide-awake as ever in his life. At first he supposed his sudden awakening to have been caused by a terrific burst of thunder that crashed overhead, but in the deep silence that followed he heard his own name pronounced in a whisper "Ta-lah-lo-ko!" Could he be dreaming? No; it came again "Ta-lah-lo-ko!"
For, as he approached her, Katherine, leaning back against the piled-up cushions in the corner of the railway carriage, suddenly sat bolt-upright, stretching out her hands in swift fear and entreaty, as in the state bedroom at Brockhurst nine-and-twenty years ago. "Oh, Roger, Roger!" she cried, "tell me, what is it?" "Nothing final as yet, thank God," he answered.
Mahommed Gunga saluted him, bolt-upright as a lance, and without the slightest change in his expression. "The word is sufficient, cousin!" Alwa returned his salute, and raised his voice in a gruff command. A saice outside the window woke as though struck by a stick sprang to his feet and passed the order on.
I guess you can see him from the winder." So saying she stepped forward, and looking out, all at once gave a shrill scream, and rushed from the room, leaving her employer in his bolt-upright attitude gazing after her with as much astonishment as he was capable of. The cause of her sudden exit was revealed on looking out of the window.
Can you tell me the way to the Brooker Institute, or to the road down the mountain?" Jeff sat suddenly bolt-upright; in another moment he jumped to his feet. The Brooker Institute was a branch of the Keeley Cure recently established near the Huddle, and this must be a patient who had wandered from it, on one of the excursions the inmates made with their guardians, and lost his way.
As she gazed, half lifeless, but still fairer than an untinted statue, at his face, all at once her eyes became enormous. Pushing him from her, she stood bolt-upright at one movement, with a heart-rending scream: "A stranger!"
Suddenly he sat bolt-upright in the bed, and at the same instant she bent and struck him a stunning blow with the butt of her revolver. Breathless, motionless, she saw him fall back and lie there without a quiver; presently she leaned over him, tore open his jacket and shirt, and laid her steady hand upon his heart.
The visitor obeyed; but Cynthia continued standing, with her hands on the back of a heavy chair. "Mr. Reuben Dare?" she said at length, as the old man did not speak. "Come straight from Ameriky," said he he sat bolt-upright on his chair, and looked at the girl with a steady interest and curiosity which almost embarrassed her "and promised to look you up as soon as I got over here.
