"It came through the window," I said. "We must not play the part of eavesdroppers," she answered. "We must forget that we have ever heard it." There was an absence of surprise in her manner which suggested a new idea to me. "You have heard it before," I cried. "I could not help it. My own room is higher up on the same turret. It has happened frequently." "Who can the woman be?" "I have no idea.
If any notice was taken of it, one would say that a private note to each of the gentlemen attacked might have warned him that there were malicious eavesdroppers about, ready to catch up any careless expression he might let fall and make a scandalous report of it to his detriment.
John Levine emerged from the darkness of the forest into the fire glow. "How!" he grunted, slipping into an empty space, opposite the two eavesdroppers. "How," returned the Indians. Silence in the woods, except for the crackling fire. "Kent, let's go! I don't want to listen, I don't want to know." The cold sweat was standing on Lydia's forehead. Kent seized her arm. "You've got to stay.

His utterance was incisive; his voice, eager and quick, filled the room. Evidently he had no fear of eavesdroppers. Kendric stared at him curiously. "For a double-dealing gentleman you have considerable assurance," he grunted.
They seemed to fear eavesdroppers, and only spoke in low half-whispers. I noticed how old Mr. Courtenay kept from time to time glancing around him, as though in fear of detection; hence I was in constant dread lest he should look behind him and discover me slinking along their path.
