"Did Wilmot tell you that?" "No, but I am sure they don't.
I have only just come in. How do you do, Miss Smythe? I hope Rose has been a good little girl since Tuesday?" "Have you, Rose?" said Pauline, with a lazy smile. Rose did not hear the question. She had caught sight of Rhoda entering the hall through the swing doors that led to Wilmot's pantry, and she stepped back to speak to her.
He saw Cosgrave lean forward, and in the half light he had a queer, startled look. With his thick red hair and small white face he might have been some sick thing of the woods scenting the air in answer to far-off familiar piping's.
