The crackle of the logs inside and that eerie, light sound outside were so associated with Prosper that, even before he came, Joan, sitting on one side of the hearth, closed her eyes and felt that he must be opposite to her in his red-lacquered chair, his long legs stuck out in front, his amused and greedy eyes veiled by a cloud of cigarette smoke.
She also detected two or three women, with red-lacquered boxes in their hands, come over on this part and remain in waiting. "Get the repast ready!" she heard some one from the offside say. The servants gradually dispersed and went out; and there only remained in attendance a few of them to bring in the courses.
