The man had thrown an electric switch which had completed a circuit from the metal mat to the door-knob through my body and then to the light and power current of high power. There I was, held a prisoner, by the electric current! At the same instant, also, Del Mar with an oath leaped forward and seized Elaine by the arms.
He felt behind him for the outer door-knob and turned it to let in a white sheet of rain, then vanished like a storm wraith, leaving a parched-lipped man and a zigzag trail of water, which gleamed in the lamplight like a pool of blood. Glenister did not wait long after his visitor's departure, but extinguished the light, locked the door, and began the further adventures of this night.
The bitter thought of going back and giving him a half-crown rose in Thorpe's inventive mind, and he paused for an instant, his hand on the door-knob, to think it over. The gratuity would certainly put Gafferson in his place, but then the spirit in which it was offered would be wholly lost on his dull brain. And moreover, was it so certain that he would take it?
The frost even settled upon a few filaments of cobweb in the corners of the room which had escaped the housemaid's broom, and which now shone like hidden sins in the day of judgment. The door-knob, mop-boards, and wooden casings of the room glistened. We were so chilled that woolen was as cold to the touch as wood or iron.
Handsomebody's house with the blinds drawn three-quarters of the way down the windows seemed to watch my approach with an air of cold cynicism. Softly I turned the door-knob and entered the dim hall. All was quiet, a quiet pervaded by the familiar smell of old fabrics, bygone meals, and umbrellas. The white door of the parlour towered like a ghost. I put my arm across my eyes and began to cry.
Stuck fast in the esophagus and constituting, according to the Coroner's jury, the immediate cause of death, one door-knob.
I only recollect waiting for several minutes in blank dismay over the seeming impossibility of ever entering the door before me. Finally I went to the curbstone and walked as rapidly and steadily as possible to the lower step, and summoning all my energies made a plunge upward and fortunately caught the door-knob.
Her eyes, which deepened and darkened, as if all her years of silent watchfulness opened long vistas in them, were fixed upon Mercedes. "I am going to pack and return to my home," Madame von Marwitz replied. "Well," said Mrs. Talcott, "you'll want me to pack for you, I expect." Madame von Marwitz had opened her door and her hand was on the door-knob.
And I am so hungry!" "There now, there! Don't cry," kindly said the bunny uncle, patting Tommie Tucker on the head. "I'll soon have you singing for your supper." "But how can you when I have such a cold?" asked the little boy. "Listen. I am as hoarse as a crow." And, truly, he could no more sing than a rusty gate, or a last year's door-knob. "Ah, I can soon fix that!" said Uncle Wiggily.
Of course they would stop for the wedding; but meantime she must be very discreet; she must not intrude too much. Captain Lovelock addressed to Angela a few fragmentary, but well-intentioned sentences, pulling his beard and fixing his eyes on the door-knob an implement which presently turned in his manly fist, as he opened the door for his companion to withdraw.
