The footman on the step-ladder began to rattle the skylight vigorously. "What on earth is the matter with you, Woods?" said Mrs. Holt.

This was not a hard thing to do, fortunately, and for once not one of them raised any objection to being exiled in this fashion.
He would waste no time when he came back, be he drunk or be he sober; he would strip the flesh off him. "Jenny," he said, "bring me the step-ladder."
