Standing at the corner, hidden by the pillars of a portico, the water dripping from his rain-coat, Ford gazed long and anxiously at the blank windows of the three houses. Like blind eyes staring into his, they told no tales, betrayed no secret. Around him the commonplace life of the neighborhood proceeded undisturbed.
Marette had taken off her turban and rain-coat, and she, too, stooped low in the four-feet space of the cabin but not so ridiculously low as Kent. He dropped on his knees again.
