Followed a light sound of footsteps on the stairs, and a minute later the door of the living-room flew open to admit her. Eliot, who had been standing with his back to the room, staring out of the window, wheeled round as she came towards him with hurrying feet and thrust her eager hands into his. "You've come at last!
When the large hand of his watch had quite accomplished its journey, he turned and walked out through the yard to the side door of the house. Melora Meigs was clattering dish-pans somewhere beyond, and the noise she made covered his entrance to the living-room. He drew a deep breath: they were not there.
Sally rarely gave expression to her sentiments; she did not mean to permit the child whom she had helped Martin bring through his "teething," and whom she had spanked many a time, to get the upper hand; but she prayed by her very comfortable bed in the loft over the living-room that she might cook to Sandy's liking and prove herself worthy the blessing God bestowed upon her in her old age.
Wrapped in her bathrobe, she pattered downstairs to the living-room, her arms full of bundles, but her father and mother were already there before her, and their packages greatly outnumbered hers. After the kisses and greetings of the day had been given her father handed the big white box into her outstretched arms. "Shall I tell you " he began. "Don't you dare! I'm going to see for myself.
"You've seen around the corner," she murmured. "You promised to be content with that." "Not content patient if I can. I will be. Thank you for that much."

In his pockets he had several thousands of dollars in large bills. He had remembered the power of cash in deals he had made in the past. "I will see what it will do here," he thought. In the house Sam found the black-haired woman lying on a couch in the living-room. As he came in at the door she arose unsteadily and looked at him. "There's a bottle in the cupboard in the kitchen," she said.
When the first excitement was over, they were invited to come in and rest in the quaint living-room of the Seafords' home. "I thought when I read your letter, Captain Seaford, that you and your wife were missing little Sprite even more than you had dreamed possible. I have watched Sprite closely, and sometimes I have thought that she was homesick.
"If Cousin Augusta can spare you, we must have a little talk together. We have been very far separated," she said. She led Claude to one of the window seats in the living-room, at once complained of a draft, and sent him to hunt for her green scarf.
Victor had thrown his grey cloak over the back of his chair. Occasionally his glance wandered toward madame and Anne. Brother Jacques sat opposite, and the vicomte sat at his side. As they left the table to circle round the fire in the living-room, Victor forgot his cloak, and the vicomte threw it around his own shoulders, intending to follow the poet and join him in a game of dominoes.
