He came down the stairs with the most tiresome slowness, went through the parlour in silence, ignoring Constance, and also Sophia, who was at his heels, and vanished. As Constance shut and bolted the front-door, the sisters looked at each other, Sophia faintly smiling. It seemed to them that they understood each other better when they did not speak.

"By the Lord, we're done!" cried Charolais, starting back from the window. "That was the front-door bell." "No, it was only the hall clock," said Bernard. "That's seven o'clock! Oh, where can he be?" said Victoire, wringing her hands. "The coup was fixed for midnight.... Where can he be?" "They must be after him," said Charolais. "And he daren't come home."

Suddenly she betook herself to her heels, for the animal looked at her, and stopped eating: that was enough to drive Miss Lucinda off the field. And now, quite desperate, she rushed through the house and out of the front-door, actually in search of a man! Just down the street she saw one.

"Where?" "Downstairs, for an instant, when I " His whisper died away; he had seen the light again; and so had I. It lay like a golden rod under the front-door and vanished. It reappeared like a gold thread under the lintel and vanished for good. We heard the stairs creak, creak, and cease, also for good.
I'll run right round home and get my rifle and meet you at your car as soon as you've got yours. To think of our having a lion this way almost sitting on the front-door step! It's a chance that won't come again in a thousand years!"
