Whether this had anything to do with the fact that now in London she began to amuse herself with Tom Helmer, I can not say with certainty; but almost if not quite the first time they met, that morning, namely, when first he called, and they sat in the bay-window of the drawing-room in Glammis Square, she brought her eyes to play upon him; and, although he addressed "The Firefly" poem to Hesper in the hope of pleasing her, it was for the sake of Sepia chiefly that he desired the door of her house to be an open one to him.
But they had never yet thought of capitulation nor of retreat; they were the Old Guard; they were not going to surrender, nor to die either. As the advance guard of all, old David Marshall frequently occupied the most advanced bastion of all, the parlor bay-window.
"I've talked with Rosy and I've talked with Arthur...." He lapsed into a comfortless silence, and ran his thin old hand over his blanched and furrowed forehead. "When are they going to be married?" asked Brower. His eyes were on the bay-window, through whose curtains there showed the face of Bingham, his own look anxiously fixed on Marshall.
I even tried to persuade myself that I was standing in Lena's way it is so necessary to be a little noble! and that if she had not me to play with, she would probably marry and secure her future. The next evening I went to call on Lena. I found her propped up on the couch in her bay-window, with her foot in a big slipper.
Miriam drifted back to her place in the bay-window, where, while apparently watching the traffic in the street below, she kept an eye on Evie's manœuvres. "What on earth can you two have to talk about?" Evie demanded, while she seemed intent on examining a cabinet of old porcelain. "If you're very good, dear," Miriam replied, trying to take an amused, offhand tone, "I'll tell you.
"Ah, he does not suspect that his own chief, the minister of police is present," said Thugut, turning with a smile to Count Saurau, who, being condemned to witness this scene in the capacity of an idle and passive spectator, had withdrawn into a bay-window, where he had quietly listened to the whole proceedings.
The moon had just risen, and shone on the turf, and on the little river that went curling round with here and there a deep pool. She crept nearer, and saw the great bay-window, and a blaze of light behind it. There she had sung the great Noel with her father; and now he was dead and gone.
This struck her as curious, very curious. While she wondered, suddenly an arm and a hand came in sight, and after them the whole figure of a man, going up the tree. Helen sat up now, glaring with terror, and was so paralyzed she did not utter a sound. About a foot below her window was a lead flat that roofed the bay-window below.
The tea-things were still on a table at one end, but every one had finished. As far away as might be, in the embrasure of the bay-window, General Pendyce and Bee were playing chess. Grouped in the centre of the room, by one of the lamps, Lady Maiden, Mrs. Winlow, and Mrs.
For the first few days after the funeral, Draxy seemed to sink; the void was too terrible; only little Reuby's voice roused her from the apathetic silence in which she would sit by the hour gazing out of the east bay-window on the road down which she had last seen her husband walk. She knew just the spot where he had paused and turned and thrown kisses back to Reuby watching him from the window.
