Lightwood was shaking his head over the air with which his friend held forth thus an air so whimsically open and argumentative as almost to deprive what he said of the appearance of evasion when a shuffling was heard at the outer door, and then an undecided knock, as though some hand were groping for the knocker.
If all must be dumped together, a regular ash-sifter will be required, placed over a barrel which receives the ashes, while the cinders remain, and are to be treated as described. Into the grate put shavings or paper, or the fat pine known as lightwood. If the latter be used, paper is unnecessary.
The 'they' here mentioned were the medical attendant; Lizzie, who was there in all her intervals of rest; and Lightwood, who never left him. The two days became three, and the three days became four.
