Newell exclaimed; and after a moment she added drearily: "He has been waiting for such an opportunity for years." It seemed needless for Garnett to protract his visit, and he took leave with the promise to report at once the result of his final talk with Mr. Newell. But as he was passing through the ante-chamber a side-door opened and Hermione stood before him.
His mind a battlefield on which the most glorious hope struggled against a frenzied fear, Hugo rose from the chair in front of the phonograph-stand, and, after a slight hesitation, left the flat as he had entered it. Before dawn the pane had been replaced in the drawing-room window, and the side-door secured.
As they looked in they saw some sailors boozing in a dirty tap-room, and enveloped in tobacco-smoke. The side-door was opened, and a cunning wicked-looking man held up a light to see who they were. "Hollo, Billy," said Wildney, confidentially, "all serene; give us two bottles of beer on tick, you know." "Yessir d'reckly," said the man, with a hateful twinkle of the eyes.
"Yes, I found some that were an excellent match for the dress; she probably wants to know what success I had; but how can I go in?" "I will return to the house with Kate, and you can go in at the side-door, and reach your own room without being seen. I will excuse you to Mrs.
But he looked often to the side-door where the milliner's apprentices stood; and once he recognised the tall, slight figure, and the rich auburn hair of the girl in black; and then his eye sought for the camellia.

The days were now getting very short, but this fact was in Maggie's favor rather than otherwise. She ran downstairs unnoticed by any one, opened a side-door which was used as a tradesmen's entrance, and got into the street.
As he spoke, he signed to the guests to withdraw. Many had already escaped the painful scene by the side-door. Marie was now alone in the magnificent apartment, with Herr Gedicke and Moritz. She still stood, with concealed face, in the centre of the room. "Oh, Marie," implored Moritz, "hide not your dear face from me! Read in mine the deep grief of the past and the bliss of the future.
A board nailed to a post by the side-door announced that tea and coffee were always ready. On the other side of the sign was an upholsterer's, and the vulgar brightness of the Brussels carpets seemed in keeping with the slop-like appearance of the coffeehouse. Sometimes a workman came in the morning; a couple more might come in about dinner-time.
He entered the vicarage by the side-door and went into the dining-room. Uncle William was reading the paper. "Your train was late," he said, looking up.
