With a convulsive gesture she pressed more closely that which she was holding to her desolate breast. At night the woodland is strangely, curiously alive. Catherine shuddered as she heard the stuffless sounds, the tiny rustlings and burrowings of those wild, shy creatures whose solitude had lately been so rudely invaded, and who now of man's night made their day.
A stuffless voice the voice of his first wife, the long-dead girl to whom his mind so seldom reverted nowadays uttered into his ear the words, "Take care!" And then the lodger spoke. His voice was harsh and grating, though not loud. "I'm afraid, Mr. Bunting, that you must have felt something dirty, foul, on my coat?
"There's a fine Christmas show in the Edgware Road. I was thinking of asking if you wouldn't like to go along there with me." "No," she said dully. "I'm quite content to stay at home." She was listening listening for the sounds which would betoken that the lodger was coming downstairs. At last she heard the cautious, stuffless tread of his rubber-soled shoes shuffling along the hall.
For a while nothing happened, and then all at once there occurred something which Donnington will never recall and that however long he may live without a sensation of unreasoning, retrospective horror welling up within him.

Rose had not allowed herself one word of fret or of repining; but on three different nights during that first week, she had got out of bed and wandered about the house, till Anna, hearing the quiet, stuffless sounds of bare feet, had come out, and leading the girl into the still warm kitchen, had comforted her.
