INSPECTOR: "I'm sorry to have frightened you, madam, I will now take down your names ..." Has the cabman given you his name? He ought to be rewarded, he might have saved us all!" I felt that I could have strangled the cabman, but, collecting myself, took one candle off the writing-table and, blowing the other out, led the way to the library-door, saying slowly: "Margaret... Emma... Alice Tennant.
The grating against the library-door aroused the young girl from the stupor in which she was plunged, and which almost amounted to insensibility. She raised her head with an effort. The noiseless door again turned on its hinges, and the Count of Monte Cristo reappeared. "Well," said he, "do you still doubt?" "Oh," murmured the young girl. "Have you seen?" "Alas!" "Did you recognize?"
But Sir Thomas Bodley, when retiring from office in 1597, conceived the idea of restoring it to prosperity again; 'and in a few years so richly endowed it with books, revenues, and buildings, that it became one of the most famous in the world. Bodley has left us his own account of the matter: 'I concluded at the last to set up my staff at the library-door in Oxon.
No man likes to play that part. Memoirs of the favourites of Goddesses, if we had them, would confirm it of men's tastes in this respect, though the divinest be the prize. We behold what part they played. De Craye chanced to be crossing the hall from the laboratory to the stables when Clara shut the library-door behind her.
And even here, where I have to teach my hands to hew the beech for stakes to fence our cave, she dies of laughing as she recalls it, and says that single occasion was worth all we have paid for it. Gallant Eve that she is! She joined Dennis at the library-door, and in an instant presented him to Dr.
"If there's miracles indoors there may be miracles outside. This way, sir!" He led me to the library-door, knocked softly, opened it, and stood aside for me to enter. Within stood his mistress, confronting another policeman!

"I sha'nt have to invent much," said Wilfrid to himself, bitterly. There was a momentary appearance of Adela at the library-door; and over her shoulder came an outcry from Mrs. Chump. Arabella then spoke: Mr. Pole and Cornelia following with a word, to which Mrs. Chump responded shrilly: "Ye shan't talk to 'm, none of ye, till I've had the bloom of his ear, now!"
I said all the wild and frantic things that were in my heart, as he closed the library-door and led me to my room. "Try to say your prayers, Pauline," was all he could answer me. I did try to say them, as I knelt by the window, and saw in the dull, gray dawn, those two carriages drive slowly from the door. Richard went away alone. Kilian indeed came down-stairs just as he was starting.
At the library-door Rose turned to him, and with her chin archly lifted sideways, said: 'I know what you feel; you feel foolish. Now the sense of honour, and of the necessity of acting the part it imposes on him, may be very strong in a young man; but certainly, as a rule, the sense of ridicule is more poignant, and Evan was suffering horrid pangs. We none of us like to play second fiddle.
