However, Gervaise perceived four or five women who were mounting guard like herself outside the door of the zinc-works; unfortunate creatures of course wives watching for the pay to prevent it going to the dram-shop.

It seemed to make one feel even colder to see them walk about in silence, passing each other in this terrible January weather. However, nobody as yet left the zinc-works.
