Lynette sprang up, and would have hurried to her, but the Mother lifted a warning hand, and calling Sister Tobias to her, passed aside into a curtained-off and precautionary cave that had been hollowed out behind the ladder. This was the custom when the ladies of the Holy Way returned from doubtful or infectious cases. Lynette sighed, and went back to her stool to wait.
A panel labeled "Ship's Services" covered one wall above a table which had an L-shaped extension housing a computer terminal and viewscreen. Storage and display cabinets lined two other walls. The fourth was a translucent screen with a curtained-off opening. She brushed past the curtain into the sleeping area.
She couldn't restrain them any more than the earth can constrain the rain. She turned into her own curtained-off portion of the cabin so that Harold could not see. The afternoon that followed was endlessly long, and lonely. Her heart sank at the every complaint of the wind, and she dreaded the fall of the shadows.
Why is the King so often absent when all the household suppose him to be with the Queen? or in his private library there?" and she pointed to the curtained-off Royal sanctum beyond; "Why does the Queen herself give it out that he is with her, when he is not? Why does he enter the Queen's corridor sometimes quite late at night by the private battlement-stair? Does it not seem very strange?
"What is it?" asked Grandpa Martin from the curtained-off part of the tent where he slept. "It's a bear!" cried Janet. Just then, from outside came a loud: "Baa-a-a-a-a!" Teddy looked very much surprised. Then he smiled. Then he laughed and cried: "Why, it's our goat Nicknack!" "I guess that's what it is," added Grandpa Martin. "But he seems to be in trouble. I'll go outside and look."
Let the children get dressed," answered her husband. Bunny Brown and his sister heard and hastened to their curtained-off bunks. Meanwhile Uncle Tad had closed the window near the front seat and that kept out the wind and rain. And it was raining and blowing hard. Those in the cosy car could hear the drops dash against the panes, while the wind howled around the corners of the machine.
The church was darkish; a little light from the sunset just picking out some green and purple of the broken pavement; the tapers of a curtained-off chapel, and tapers above the sepulchre, throwing a broad weak yellow light up to the arched triforium, to the grated gallery whence came the voices of nuns chanting the Lamentations.
Her delightful sitting-room, therefore, had not the curtained-off effect which took slightly from the charm of the students' rooms.
The tenth android went to a tiny curtained-off kitchenette and returned with a knife. He put his hand on the head of the ninth android and drew it backward so that the neck muscles were taut. He raised the knife. Then he paused and looked down with a faint expression of interest in his otherwise empty eyes. "Are you afraid to die?" "I don't know. What is it to die?" "You become nonfunctioning."
"I feel so much better now," she declared, after a little. "I I think I could sleep." "That would be the best thing for you, my dear," said Ruth, as she smoothed her hair. "Come," she whispered to the others, "we will sit back here and let her rest," and she motioned them to come into the curtained-off recess of the compartment.
