"My only mother!" came up a voice from below. She saw Charmian pushing up her veil over her three-cornered travelling-hat with a bright red feather. "Where are you? Oh, there!" She came up the stairs. "Such a crossing! I'm an unlucky girl! Remedies are no use. Dearest!" She put two light hands on her mother's shoulders and kissed her twice with lips which were rather cold.
He stood still for a moment opposite the entrance of the corner house, one side of which lay parallel to the stream while the other exhibiting the front door, and a small oil-shop faced the street; his attention had been attracted to it by a strange scene; but he had still much to attend to before starting on his journey, and he soon hurried on again without noticing a tall man who came towards him, wearing a travelling-hat and a cloak such as was usually adapted only for making journeys.
