The creature at the door had apparently also heard the approaching sound, for its whimperings ceased.
The boy was soft; the fiber in him had not been hardened yet, not enough to be proof against tears. He wanted desperately to leave Nolan, to go up and learn what arguments, what coaxing and selfish whimperings Natalie was using with the boy. But he wanted, also desperately, to have the boy fight his own fight and win. "He will want to go, I think. Of course, his mother will be shaken just now.
A stream of steaming water shot down upon the first who ventured upon the rounds, and he fell back with ludicrous whimperings.
