Already there was the butler, groping about with a candle. "What's the matter, Quentin?" asked a breathless voice behind them. It was Eva in a filmy dressing-gown. Locke turned to vision a creation of loveliness in the candle-light which set his heart thumping. "Nothing," he reassured. "Just the lights short-circuited, that's all. I'll see."

Tom tried to make up for lost time, but came to a hill a little later, and this reduced their speed. "Do you think we can make it before twelve?" asked Mr. Damon anxiously.
But if the doctor has just had lunch and if his breathing is short-circuited with huckleberry-pie, he says very firmly: "No, I don't want you to eat anything at all: absolutely not a bite; it won't hurt you, a little self-denial in the matter of eating is the best thing in the world."
