"Don't yer be frightened, Ma'am: don't try to run away, fer the door's locked an' the key in my pocket; don't yer cry out, fer yer'd have to scream a long while, with my hand on yer mouth, before yer was heard. Be still, an' I'll tell yer what I'm goin' to do." "Lord help us! he has taken the fever in some sudden, violent way, and is out of his head.
Whatever the reality, it IS a reality. The door isn't shut. The door's open," said May Bartram. "Then something's to come?" She waited once again, always with her cold sweet eyes on him. "It's never too late." She had, with her gliding step, diminished the distance between them, and she stood nearer to him, close to him, a minute, as if still charged with the unspoken.
She sits still and mopes, and he sets to and kills the first thing that comes handy, to distract his thoughts, and they're going to stick right there till the door's closed, and the lamps give out. This is where you step in, Cornelia Briskett! You've got to waltz round and fix up this business while you've a chance. I guess I've been a bit too bracing.

"I guess some traveller has been sheltering here lately!" he cried to Neal Farrar, as the latter overtook him. "There's a litter around," pointing to dry sticks and withered bushes strewn upon the camping-ground. "And the door's standing open. I wonder who found the old shanty?"
Elinor was prevented from making any reply to this civil triumph, by the door's being thrown open, the servant's announcing Mr. Ferrars, and Edward's immediately walking in. It was a very awkward moment; and the countenance of each showed that it was so.

"'Fred, he whispered hoarsely, 'the door's open. "The other two men looked round sharply, and one of them presumably Fred retorted gruffly, 'Then go and shut it.
I want you to come out with me." The whispered oath, and his defiant smile, enchanted her. "We can go out by the area steps," he continued.

Pushing open Sarah's door very gently, she groped on the hooks behind it for her hat.
He could hear it buzzing inside. Twice he pushed it. "Nobody at home, looks like," he said to himself. "Well, I reckon I'll step in an' leave a note. Or maybe I'll wait. If the door's open he's liable to be right back." He stepped into the room. It was dark. His fingers groped along the wall for the button to throw on the light. Before he found it a sound startled him.
The men all came to the edge of the float to meet it and then, just as all seemed well, a dark patch of wind came scudding across the water, filled the door's sail, and sent the door kiting off to the right again. The game was up, The door was going to miss the float by sixty or seventy feet.
