No soft words, no whispered prayers could draw her forth; and it was with no trifling address, for her companion sought to be as gentle as the force necessary to employ would allow, that he disengaged her hands from the window-frame, the lining, the cushions, to which they clung; and at last bore her into the house. The driver closed the window again as he retreated, and they were alone.
A louder splash, and a shower of water streamed through the loosely built window-frame into the kitchen. Then the old man could sit still no longer. He hastened to the window, and opening it called out in an angry voice, 'Undine, cease these childish tricks. A stranger, and he a knight, is in our cottage. A low laugh answered him.
They turned on the lights, but throughout the frightful storm that followed, Piers leaned against the window-frame sombrely watching. Avery sat on a sofa with Jeanie, her throbbing head leaning against the cushions, her eyes closed. Nearly half an hour passed thus, then the storm rolled sullenly away; and at last Piers turned. As though his look pierced her, Avery's eyes opened.
If his first view of the college was depressing because of the failure of fruition its appearance suggested, he was not utterly unappreciative of the pictorial effect: the splendid lines of dignity and beauty; the soft brown colour of the stone, relieved by the lighter tone of lintel and window-frame and sill; the dark green of the ivy; the great, black shadow of the tower on the slated roof where every jutting dormer window threw its lesser shade; the wide sky beyond, of a blueness which an artist would have wished to paint.
He appeared satisfied with his scrutiny, for he looked up and made a sign with his hand. He then applied his hands to the window-frame, which must have been ingeniously contrived for the purpose, for with apparently no resistance the whole frame, containing casement and all, slipped from its position in the wall, and was by him lowered into the room.
It is not like that hard unfeeling happiness of lovers, flaunting in the eyes of misery. She set her teeth tight against the window-frame, and the tears fell thick and fast. She was so thankful she could cry, for the mad passion she had felt when her eyes were dry frightened her. If that dreadful feeling were to come on when Lady Cheverel was present, she should never be able to contain herself.
Colquhoun launched forth upon the whole history, to which Hugo listened without a word of comment. He was leaning against the window-frame, in a position from which he could still see the drive, and his face was so white that Mr. Colquhoun at last was struck by its pallor. "Man alive, are you going to faint, Hugo? What's wrong?" "Nothing. I've had a headache.
The idea that I was performing a meritorious action in thus suppressing my ill-temper and offering to help him increased my good-humour all the more. By this time the putty had been chipped out, and the screws removed, yet, though Nicola pulled with might and main at the cross-piece, the window-frame refused to budge.
I tell you he is getting out of his carriage, and she affected to watch the doctor's descent. 'The carriage is driving away! I cried. 'Yes, it is draiving away, she echoed. But I had sprung from my bed, and was looking over her shoulder, before she perceived me. 'It is Lady Knollys! I screamed, seizing the window-frame to force it up, and, vainly struggling to open it, I cried
Once you want to escape you can take it with you by the simple process of pulling on the long string, when the pin is jerked from the window-frame, and you can drag the nail and all with you, thus leaving no evidence behind. This was what Bob did. Quickly winding up die string as he pulled the pin and nail toward him, he and Ted started to run, crouching down low so as not to be seen.
