And it was to Muriel as if, after long and futile battling in the open sea, she had drifted at last into the calm heaven which surely had always been the goal of her desires. Jim Ratcliffe was in the drawing-room with Daisy when they returned. He scrutinised them both somewhat sharply as they came in, but he made no comment upon their preference for the garden. Very soon he rose to take his leave.
I am wondering at them bringing it up to you. What do you think they would bring it up to you for?" And she scrutinised him shrewdly again. "I think the girl the Cornal saw me with put him in mind of her mother," said Gilian, pushing the idea no further. She still looked closely at him. "The girl cannot help that," said she.

"Yes, Mr. Foster," Hewitt added pleasantly, "I'm not sure that the lock is quite in order, but I promised to open it for Mr. Bell, so we'll try." Mr. Foster, a slim, active old gentleman, grown grey in the firm's service, pulled a bunch of keys from his pocket, and Hewitt scrutinised each narrowly.
Each eye eagerly scrutinised her, speculation was busy, and the emotions were various as the temper and habit of each individual mind.
