Lilla descended the staircase in the transplendency of the many colored windowpanes. The red of rubies, the blue of sapphires, the green of emeralds, enwrapped her slim body that was still phenomenally moving in its habitual harmoniousness.
One by one they darted through the open window out into the night; and when the last spectral streak of grey had sped into outer darkness the girl slammed the windowpanes shut and leaned against the sill enervated, exhausted, revolted.
A high wind caught up and scattered broadcast the petals from the Italian garden, as though that spot had served its only purpose. Now and then a swift cloud cast a shadow over the landscape, then passed on, leaving everything as brilliant as before. The boughs of the trees tapped urgently against the windowpanes, calling attention to the sparkling clarity of space.
In the narrow street leading down to the canal a thirteen-year-old girl placed herself provocatively in his way. "Mother's ill," she said, pointing up a dark flight of steps. "If you've got any money, come along!" He was actually on the point of following her, when he discovered that the old women who lived in the street were flattening their noses against their windowpanes.
No white curtains, or but few and soiled ones; hardly a flower; windowpanes filled with brown paper instead of glass; doors standing half open; heaps of cinders and refuse lying at the edge of the pavement; girls almost without frocks nursing dirty, white-faced babies. It seemed a long way to No. 103.
But after a little, the others would climb up the ladder to the loft and leave us, and we'd maybe eat a mince pie that I'd made I was a good cook at sixteen and there would be a pitcher of cider, and outside, the wind would be driving the snow against the tiny windowpanes I can hear that sound now, and the sputtering of the backlog, and Jim oh, well!" She waved the scene back.
I ask the jury to compare them with the finger marks of the accused upon the windowpanes, and tell the court if they are the same." He passed a powerful magnifying glass to the foreman. One juryman after another took the cardboard and the glass and made the comparison. Then the foreman said to the judge: "Your honor, we are all agreed that they are identical."
She was prevented from continuing, for two of the windowpanes flew to pieces with a loud crash. The orphans, with a cry of terror, threw themselves into each other's arms, whilst the dog rushed towards the window, barking furiously.
"Me, me, me," came from all, though Milt's response was reluctant. "I will see Mr. Vedder to-morrow, so we can begin to let the rent apply right off," said Amarilly. "We'll take more pride in keeping it fixed up now," remarked Flamingus. "I'll mend the windowpanes and the door hinges." "And I'll build some stairs and put up a partition or two," promised the Boarder.
She looked at the sky through the windowpanes. It was a livid sky, and sooty clouds were scudding across it. It was six o'clock in the morning.
