James King of William sat with his back toward the door when Casey, still a-quiver with rage but endeavoring to control himself, entered the Bulletin office. He stumbled over the doorsill. King turned. When he saw who the intruder was, he laid down a handful of proofs and rose. Casey glared at him.
There, framed in the doorway, stood a noble buck, its great antlers proclaiming it a king of its kind. For a moment the two gazed at each other; then the Hermit held out his hand. At the movement the deer backed away, blowing out his breath gustily. The Hermit laid a lump of sugar upon the doorsill and stepped back.
It's probably broke, and it takes money to fix a busted plane, let me tell you. And there might be complications; and besides, I've got to ride this range. I can't go rambling around all over Mexico hunting an airplane that probably wouldn't be any good when I found it." Tomaso's brother rose from the doorsill to gesticulate while he argued those points and others which Johnny thought of later.
A big black and yellow wasp buzzed angrily against the window-pane, bewildered because it could not get through the transparent barrier. A little grey hen, with large, drooping comb vividly scarlet, hopped on to the doorsill, eyed Mrs. Gammit with surprise and disapprobation, and ran away to warn the rest of the flock that there was a woman round the place.
Below they were looking and calling for him. Professor Marin was there, and some few other persons who had come to attend the Mass. No one could understand how the door of the church was still closed. The professor went into the house, called Lucia, called Don Rocco, without receiving any answer. He finally reached the room of the priest and stood still on the doorsill, amazed to see him in bed.
Perhaps the Ghosts of Things Past scampered up the winding stairway; at least, they were not to be seen. He found the front-door key in the lock and turned the bolt. When the door swung inward a little thrill touched him. For the first time in his life he was standing on his own doorsill, looking down his own front path and through his own front gate!
"Why why " he exclaimed. "Two weeks ago. Jadvyga! She told me so the night it snowed, and she could not get home." "There must be some mistake," declared the girl, again; "she didn't come here." He steadied himself by the doorsill; and Jadvyga in her anxiety for she was fond of Ona opened the door wide, holding her jacket across her throat. "Are you sure you didn't misunderstand her?" she cried.
Some of us come from the breasts of chickens and some from the breasts of turkeys. When we are placed above a doorsill in a house, we bring good luck!" "Don't the people in the house here wish good luck?" asked the match box. "What a silly question!" replied the wishbone, "Anyone could easily see you do not know much!" "Then why didn't they place you above the door?" asked the stove lifter.
It had begun again that whistling-away of winter fear and winter hopelessness. The birds sang and built and the May flies crept up through the snow and spun silver in the air for a brief dazzle of life. The sun was so warm that Berg and Sheila dozed on their doorsill. They did little else, these days, but dream and doze and wait.
"Do you ever call the parrot by her whole name?" "No, sir," he replied; "I always give her Bell, but she calls herself Bella." "Bella," repeated Mr. Morris; "that is a very pretty name. If you keep her, boys, I think you had better stick to that." "Yes, father," they all said; and then Mr. Morris started to go back to his study. On the doorsill he paused to ask the cabin boy when his ship sailed.
