That Marcus should leave the house therefore without speaking to her alarmed Olivia excessively. She must have vexed him, indeed, if he could do such a thing as that, and here one or two bright drops ran down on the blue pelisse. She was actually crying like a scolded child, when two or three minutes later the parlour-door opened and Marcus entered.
Both Coulson and Philip felt that something unusual was going on, and were, perhaps, as full of consideration as to the possible contents of this London letter, as of attention to their more immediate business. But fortunately there was little doing in the shop. Philip, indeed, was quite idle when John Foster opened the parlour-door, and, half doubtfully, called him into the room.
No, no, my lassie," he added, as Lilias made another attempt to place the money in his hand. "I have not yet eaten orphans' bread, and I'm not going to begin now." "But my aunt sent it, sir; and she was not always poor; and I think she would like you to take it." His only answer was to press her fingers more closely over the little packet of money, as he drew her towards the parlour-door.
A rap at the street-door gave now a new relief to Cecilia, who began to grow very apprehensive lest the delight of spending money, thus warmly contested with that of hoarding it, should give rise to a quarrel, which, between two such sturdy champions for their own opinions, might lead to a conclusion rather more rough and violent than she desired to witness: but when the parlour-door opened, instead of Mr Delvile, whom she now fully expected, Mr Albany made his entrance.
At last I heard Dolly cry out very loud; then I heard the parlour-door open and three or four men came tumbling out, who ran beneath my hiding-hole and out through the kitchen passage to the stable.
About ten feet on each side of the shop was occupied with the above articles; the remainder of the shelves were reserved for the circulating-library. At the back of the shop were some seats round a small table, on which was laid the newspaper of the day, and on each side of the parlour-door were hoops, bats, balls, traps, skittles, and a variety of toys for children.
My father was returned from his walk to the fish-pond and opened the parlour-door in the very height of the attack, just as my uncle Toby was marching up the glacis Trim recovered his arms never was my uncle Toby caught in riding at such a desperate rate in his life!
Marmaduke opened it, and called Dorcas. She came, and when she saw them, rushed forward sobbing. "Oh, missus, missus is it my missus?" It was indeed the sorrowful mistress, who stood like a spectre in her desolate home. But Dorcas dragged her in, and opened the parlour-door. There was an odour of warmth bright light, which so dazzled Agatha that at first she saw nothing.
Could his mother wish it shut on account of anything she was saying? It was possible. "O Hugh!" exclaimed Agnes, as soon as he set foot on the leads. "What do you think? But is the parlour-door shut? Who shut it?" "Mother bade me shut it, as I passed." "O dear!" said Agnes, in a tone of disappointment; "then she did not mean us to hear what they were talking about." "What was it?
It nearly killed me when I was at the Grange. You will not see her, I suppose? 'If you wish it, I will. She will not care to see me; and as things are at present, what room is there for friendship? 'You will come if I send for you? 'Certainly. If you send for me I will come at once. Then she crept slowly out of the room, and very slowly and very silently made her way to the parlour-door.
