I took a quick look round a look of horror that came near to panic calculating vainly ways of escape; and then, realizing how helpless I was to achieve anything really effective, I crept back silently into the tent and lay down again upon my sandy mattress, first lowering the door-curtain to shut out the sight of the willows in the moonlight, and then burying my head as deeply as possible beneath the blankets to deaden the sound of the terrifying wind.
Baccio, who stood hidden behind the door-curtain, was not able to contain himself until Solosmeo should have finished, and, bursting out scowling and full of rage, said to Solosmeo: "What have I done to you, that you should speak of me with such scant respect?" Dumbfounded at the appearance of Baccio, Solosmeo turned to Ridolfi and said: "What tricks are these, my lord?

"Ah, 'tis horrible!" said he. "It was not I who poisoned Sauvresy it was she there are proofs of it; perhaps, with a good advocate " M. Lecoq did not lose a word or a gesture of this tragical scene. Either purposely or by accident, he pushed the door-curtain, which made a slight noise.
He bowed in silence, whilst she, likewise silent, returned his bow with modest reserve, the tact appropriate to the occasion, such as no ingenue, even at the Comedie, was then capable of. And while the Baron accompanied the priest to the door, she returned to the salon with Duthil, who was scarcely screened by the door-curtain before he passed his arm round her waist.
Just as he was on the point of entering, the sound of a discussion held him back behind the lowered door-curtain. It was Louis's voice, tearful like that of a beggar in a church-porch, trying to move the duke to pity for his distress, and asking permission to take certain bundles of bank-notes that lay in a drawer.
Besides, I am going to stay here in the next room." The count was heard ascending the stairs. "There's Hector!" cried Laurence, "quick, quick! conceal yourselves!" She added, as they were retiring, in a low tone, but not so low as to prevent the detective from hearing her: "Be sure, we will not try to escape." She let the door-curtain drop; it was time. Hector entered.
When she turned it was like the clashing of copper pots. A lean cat in the balcony outside the window mewed hungrily. Kim checked, bewildered, at the door-curtain. 'Is that the new stuff, Mahbub? said Huneefa lazily, scarce troubling to remove the mouthpiece from her lips. 'O Buktanoos! like most of her kind, she swore by the Djinns 'O Buktanoos! He is very good to look upon.
With an arm he swept back the beaded tendrils of a hanging door-curtain, the girl glided to the darkness of the room, and Barlow, lifting from its niche the iron lamp, followed. Within, she pointed to the door that lay open and Barlow, half in rebellion, softly closed it. As he turned he saw that she had dropped from their holding cords the heavy brocaded silk curtains of the window.
S. Maria Formosa, one of the churches mentioned in the beautiful legend of Bishop Magnus to be built, you remember, where he saw a white cloud rest which still has a blue door-curtain, is chiefly famous for a picture by a great Venetian painter who is too little represented in the city Palma the elder. Palma loved beautiful, opulent women and rich colours, and even when he painted a saint, as he does here S. Barbara (whose jawbone we saw in the S. Rocco treasury) he could not much reduce his fine free fancy and therefore he made her more of a commanding queen than a Christian martyr. This church used to be visited every year by the Doge for a service in commemoration of the capture of the brides, of which we heard at S. Pietro in Castello. The campo, once a favourite centre for bull-fights and alfresco plays, has some fine palaces, notably those at No. 5250, the Malipiero, and No. 6125, the red Don
