Stooping impulsively, she seized it, while at the same moment he uttered a low chuckle of satisfaction and started to arise. He did not move as one entirely free, but clinging to a burden, and when his shoulders slowly appeared she saw that he was lifting the other man, who still struck ineffectually at his face.
'Here! help, help, help! I cried, trying to force open the door. 'Shove it, shove it, for God's sake! he's across it, cried Mrs. Rusk's voice from within; 'drive it in. I can't move him.
