He waited.
"Yes," came from close to where Frank stood with his hands turning wet in the darkness, and then he felt his father brush by him, the door was unlocked, and the housekeeper's white face was seen lit up by the candle she carried. "Thank you, Berry," said Sir Robert; and he took the candle and relocked the door after the woman.
Hastily placing the letter in his great-coat pocket, the Jesuit opened the old trunk under his bed, took from it a packet of papers wrapped in a tattered cotton handkerchief, added to them the two letters in cipher he had just received, and carefully relocked the trunk. The knocking continued without, and seemed to show more and more impatience.
Then he relocked the subdivision, and the safe itself, and put the keys away in his trousers and the packets in his coat-tail pockets, one in each, that they might not bulge suspiciously. Next he unbolted the door, and, returning, gave way to paroxysms of exultation too deep for words.
She then relocked the box, relocked the trunk, and came back to her mother, restored to perfect good-humor. Maggie was in her element when she was planning things. Yesterday was a day of despair, but to-day was a day of hope.

"I am sorry to have awoke your honors," said he, as he withdrew his head and relocked the door; "it must have been in the room overhead." "Good?" said Willis, "the old rascal expects nothing."

"A goddess, Rob, of which Egyptology knows nothing! a mystical religion the existence of which has been vaguely suspected by a living French savant ... but this is no time " Dr. Cairn closed the manuscript, replaced it and relocked the drawer. He glanced at the clock. "A quarter past one," he said. "Come, Rob!" Without hesitation, his son followed him from the house.
"I wanted to find out, first, if Ransford gave this box to Collishaw, and when. I'm going to Collishaw's house presently I've certain inquiries to make. His widow'll know about these pills." "You're suspecting Ransford," said Bryce. "That's certain!" Mitchington carefully put away the pill-box and relocked the drawer.
