But still, as he reasoned, he saw ever before him that blush and that smile.
If it had been, the person who took it would have been content with rolling up the girdle, as you say it was of soft leather, placing it in his pocket, reclosing the case, and leaving it behind for two reasons: one, that it would be noticeable if carried about; another, that it might lie shut up in your box for any length of time, with the change that had taken place unsuspected.
It operated smoothly, and upon giving a gentle push the window opened and I found myself standing upon a polished oak floor. I stood stock-still, listening; but there was never a sound; and partly reclosing the window, I pressed the button of my electric torch and looked about me. I stood in a long lofty room which I supposed to have been a drawing-room.
But get up, my love. What would happen if some one came into the room and found a little old hag sitting on my knee with her arm around my neck?" "Ah, true, father. I did not think of that. I'm rather given to not thinking of some things. Perhaps that inquisitive servitor may be no, he's not there this time," said Branwen, reclosing the door and sitting down on a stool beside the chief.
