The kind old woman came to his door a couple of times, applied her ear to the key-hole, and merely sighed and whispered her prayer.... "It has begun!" she thought.... "And he is only five-and-twenty.... Akh, it is early, early!" Akátoff was very much out of sorts all the following day. "What is the matter, Yásha?" Platonída Ivánovna said to him.
Nanette saw that it was no use to insist, and went to her room, which was next to Bathilde's, but could not resist the impulse of curiosity, and looking through the key-hole, she saw her young mistress kneel down before her little crucifix, and then, as by a sudden impulse, run to the window, open it, and look opposite.
"Hush, Laker," said Mrs Foster, hastily throwing on her garments with trembling hands, while she made a strong effort to restrain her agitation, "go, dear Amy, and ask what they want; but don't open the door." She followed Amy to the landing outside, leaving Mrs Laker, glaring in sceptical amazement, in the middle of the room. Presently, Amy was heard downstairs speaking through the key-hole.
The American lad, the French officer and the four Canadian. troopers descended the stairs as quietly as had Hal, and as quietly approached the door to the room where the German officer now guarded his captives. Chester peered through the key-hole and took in the situation at a glance. Chester, however, used more caution than had Hal. Also he chose to proceed with strategy rather than force.
Even if one were disposed to moralize the comfortable end of the poor Knights harshly, one must admit that their view of Rome is one of the unrivalled views, and that the glimpse of St. Peter's through the key-hole of their garden-gate is little short of tin-rivalled.
About nine o'clock Mrs. Mencke went up to her sister's room to see if she needed anything before retiring. She tried the door and found it locked. "Are you in bed, Violet?" she called, in a low tone, with her lips at the key-hole. "No, Belle, but I am busy with a little writing which I wish to do," Violet answered, in calm, even tones.
They moved the chairs back from the door, ready, as soon as danger should approach, to go into the chamber of the queen and awaken her. Campan then slipped across the room to the door of the antechamber, which she had looked before. She laid her ear to the key-hole, and listened. All was still and quiet in the next room; no one was in the antechamber.
Take the lamp, and carry it around the room, and hold it opposite any little opening you can find." "I can't find any little openings," said Nathan. "O yes," said his father; "the key-hole of the door is a little opening, and there is a narrow crevice all around the door; and you will find little crevices around the windows.
It happened on the day when the eldest Miss Spilsbury had miraculously attained her seventh year, a slight inflammation was discerned in her right eye, which was attributed by her mother to her having neglected the preceding day to bathe it in elder-flower water; by her governess, to her having sat up the preceding night to supper; by her maid, to her having been found peeping through a windy key-hole; and by the young lady herself, to her having been kept poring for two hours over her French lesson.
Then, having introduced the ladies to each other, he left them and went to his own chambers in King's Bench Walk. Arrived there he stooped at the keyhole, finding some trifle or other there opposing his latch-key. The key-hole was half-filled with putty. Barndale never lost his temper.
