Here he paused, for there was a distinct movement of surprise among his audience, which till now, had remained to a man so still that the buzz of a fly on the window-pane sounded almost as loud as the drone of a bag-pipe, then with a faint smile on his lips he resumed, "I hope you all heard my words distinctly! I said, the false position I have attained among you.
'Susan, tell that disagreeable fellow to drive on. They had not far to go, but the man did not hurry his horse. Other cabs passed them on the road, motor-cars whizzed by. 'We shall be dreadfully late, Henrietta sighed. 'I am always late for balls, Caroline said calmly. Rose, leaning back in her corner, could see Henrietta's profile against the window-pane.
Zoe's sleep that night was profound and refreshing, and she woke in perfect health and vigor of body and mind; but the first sound that smote upon her ear the dashing of sleet against the window-pane sent a pang of disappointment and dismay to her heart. She sprang from her bed, and, running to the window, drew aside the curtain, and looked out.
It did not surprise him, for he knew Dorothy Drake was in the habit of going there knew also by her face for what she went: accustomed to seek solitude himself, he knew the relations of it. Very little had passed between them. Sometimes two persons are like two drops running alongside of each other down a window-pane: one marvels how it is they can so long escape running together.
Not a sign of impatience escaped him until the time drew near for the departure of the early coach. Then the captain's curly lips began to twitch with anxiety, and the captain's restless fingers beat the devil's tattoo unremittingly on the window-pane.

Then, you didn't know 'oo Charlie was all this time? 'Your nephew, I always thought.
Another flattening of his nose against the window-pane showed him the familiar bulk of Little Butte looming black in the moonlight, and a moment later he had let himself silently into the rear vestibule of the day coach, and was as silently opening the folding doors of the vestibule itself. Hanging off by the hand-rails, he saw the engine's headlight pick up the switch-stand of the old spur.
From the dark slippery street shrill familiar sounds rose to her ear and drew her attention downward and she smiled. He was down there at play with friends whose parents lived in the houses of the row. She laughed as those victorious cries reached the upper air. Leaning forward, she pressed her face against the window-pane and peered over and watched the group of them.
"Someone is moving in that room," said Holmes in a whisper, his gaunt and eager face thrust forward to the window-pane. "Yes, I can see his shadow. There he is again! He has a candle in his hand. Now he is peering across. He wants to be sure that she is on the lookout. Now he begins to flash. Take the message also, Watson, that we may check each other. A single flash that is A, surely. Now, then.
I longed ardently for Yolanda to come out of her skin, and my heart leaped with joy at the early prospect. I was right in my surmise. Yolanda's sweet face, radiant with smiles and soft with dimples, was pressed against the window-pane watching for us when we crossed the moat bridge at Castleman's door.
