He entered softly. The ghost walks, professor MacHugh murmured softly, biscuitfully to the dusty windowpane. Mr Dedalus, staring from the empty fireplace at Ned Lambert's quizzing face, asked of it sourly: Agonising Christ, wouldn't it give you a heartburn on your arse?
I am sorry that you have wounded Brigard nothing more." "That is too much, because I have a sincere esteem, a real friendship for you, if you will permit me to say so." But Glady, apparently, did not desire the conversation to take this turn. "I think this is an empty cab," he said, as a fiacre approached them. "No," replied Saniel, "I see the light of a cigar through the windowpane."
Then, locking the door, he had hurried after his victim and caught him at the moment he reached the cellar. The detective's next move was to break into the apartment of the Marquis de Sérac. By the aid of a ladder which he found in a corner, he climbed up and broke a windowpane and thus made his entrance. At first nothing in the apartment seemed worthy of suspicion.
The girl turned away from the splendour of it and laid her aching head against the cool windowpane. A hansom flashed along in the street below with just a glimpse of a pretty laughing girl in it with a man by her side. From another part of the Royal Palace Hotel came sounds of mirth and gaiety.
"If he doesn't go home and report us to his wife and cronies as stark staring maniacs, I'm a Scotsman. Whoop! work away, Don Miguel. There's more joy over one brick hove through a windowpane than in a whole house furnished on the hire system. Ain't we making a bally wreck of it? Good business! Wrench away the back of this seat, and I'll lug off the steps. Arr-e-ee!
Before he snapped on the electric light over the basin he chanced to glance through the newly set windowpane which had replaced the one Rad had shattered in escaping threatened impalement on Koku's spear. Although the clouds were thick and the rain was falling, there was a certain humid radiance upon the roof of the porch under the bathroom window.
And in the most friendly and welcoming way it looked with its single eye across at the nocturnal guest. I could not see the cottage, but I knew that my little girl lay sleeping in her cosy bed, and that a young woman was sitting there in the dark, her face glued to the windowpane, to be ready with a lantern which burned in the kitchen whenever I might pull up between school and house.
The call of nature awakening from its long winter sleep drummed in his heart. He could sympathize with the bluebottle buzzing against the sunny windowpane in its efforts to reach the free world outside. Recess! With the sound of the gong his heart leaped, but he kept his place in the line with perfect decorum. It would never do to be called back now for a momentary indiscretion.
"But poor William is sick and nobody knows how to tend to the heating plant as well as he does. And so Why, Russ, Mun Bun is cold! His hands are like ice." "And so are my hands!" cried Margy, running hastily from the window. "We've been trying to catch the snowflakes through the windowpane." "No wonder your hands are cold," said Rose admonishingly.
"No," I snapped. "I don't." And I drummed with my fingers on the windowpane and felt as rebellious as six years old. But of course I'm going to be good. I won't do anything that may delay my getting home to you. The Bornsteds say Koseritz is a very beautiful place, on the very edge of the Haff. They talk with deep respectfulness of the Herr Graf, and the Frau Grafin, and the junge Komtesse.
