It's awful fun he's going to have some pigeon-shooting. Ernest's countenance fell a little, and he answered in a graver voice than before, 'If that's what you want to go for, Lynmouth, I certainly can't let you go. You shall never have leave from me to go pigeon-shooting. 'Why not? Lynmouth asked, still holding the door-handle at the most significant angle.
She noted that the majority were in twos or threes, but that here and there a child walked solitary, and that the faces of these solitary ones were hard to discern, being bent towards the ground . . . The door-handle rattled and called her back to terror. She had no time to clamber down from her chair. She was caught.
If I were you, I would know what is in that chamber. I repeat, to be safe, you must have all his secrets, or none. Hush, that is his step!" The door-handle turned noiselessly, and Olivier entered. His look fell on his son's face, which betrayed only apparent surprise at his unexpected return. He then glanced at Lucretia's, which was, as usual, cold and impenetrable.
Old Margery paused before a door at the end of the passage, knocked lightly; then looked up at the doctor with her hand on the door-handle, and an expression of pleading earnestness in her faithful Scotch eyes. "And you will not forget the wooden spoon, Sir Deryck?" The doctor looked down into the kind old face raised to his in the dim light.
After he had drunk, Almayer went in, closing the door carefully. Ali did not budge. That Sirani woman shrieked! He felt an immense curiosity very unusual to his stolid disposition. He could not take his eyes off the door. Was she dead in there? How interesting and funny! He stood with open mouth till he heard again the rattle of the door-handle. Master coming out.
Cammysole, have read all my papers for these fifteen years. I know that you cast your curious old eyes over all the manuscripts which you find in my coat-pockets and those of my pantaloons, as they hang in a drapery over the door-handle of my bedroom.

"What?" demanded Viner. "I saw that my suggestion wasn't at all pleasing to the man who calls himself Cave!" exclaimed Miss Penkridge.
"He wants us all to go to Grey House as soon as father is well enough to travel." "At this time of year? absurd, or, at all events, impossible! for you and me, at any rate. Has Mr. Craig not been made aware of your engagement to Mr. Bullard?" "I thought we had agreed not to talk of that." Doris laid her fingers on the door-handle. Mrs. Lancaster came a little closer.
There was no sign of masculine attire left carelessly about not a chair or table was a hairbreadth out of its appointed place. Her hand, resting lightly on the door-handle, gripped it with a sudden tensity. The next moment she had crossed the room and torn open the doors of the great armoire where Hugh kept his clothes. This, too, was empty shelves and hanger alike.
A sick light stole through the blinds enough for me to distinguish the glasses and decanters on the table, and find my way to the curtain that hung before the inner room. I pushed the curtain aside, paused for a moment, and listened to the violent beat of my heart; then felt for the door-handle and turned it.
