"Pierre, bid her be careful. That is your wife's bonnet!" Even the housekeeper had to smile at this and listen patiently while Margot made much of the incident.
He turned to Drusilla, who seemed hardly to realize or understand the contents of the letter. "Shall I file the letter along with the other papers, or do you wish to keep it?" he asked. Drusilla took the letter, and folded it and refolded it, looking down at it as if it were a thing alive. "If you don't mind, Mr. Thornton, I should like to keep it," she said.
"It wouldn't help, though, after all." "Well, hardly the quick way is sure to be the most merciful," he laughed softly with the quality of kindly humour which never failed him, "we'll starve her out as soon as possible," he declared.

Having mastered its contents, the Captain refolded and placed it where he found it, with the simple observation to himself of 'That cock won't fight.
The green-painted door, therefore, of the yellow-faced cottage, had scarcely recovered from the assault of the letter-carrier, when it was again struck violently by the impatient Captain Dunning. Miss Martha, who had just concluded and refolded the letter, screamed "Oh!" and leaped up.
Colonel Cadwallader declares it impossible to get his guns across," he told his aide, without a trace of emotion in his voice, as he refolded the despatches and handed them to him. Then his eye flashed with a sudden exultation as he continued: "It seems there are some in our own force, as well as the enemy, who need a lesson in winter campaigning."
