The girl's eyes too were dim with a mist of warm tears when she saw her rough friend weeping, but she remained firm and said, as she tried to free her hand from his: "You know very well, father Serapion, that there is much to tie me to this temple; my sister, and you, and the door-keeper's child, little Philo.
At each moment, in the midst of the crowd, the buzzing, and the laughter, the door-keeper's voice was heard announcing some name well known in the financial department, respected in the army, or illustrious in the literary world, and which was acknowledged by a slight movement in the different groups.
"Allow me to have one of the door-keeper's daughters to sleep with me." "If it had come into my head, I would have proposed it to you. Is she in your room now?" "No." "Go and call her, then." "Let us leave that till to-morrow, as if I went at this time of night it might make people talk." "I see you have a store of discretion, and you may be sure I will not deprive you of any of it."
Don Leone took leave of Noemi upon learning that this was the friend who as she had told him during the visit to the monastery had remained at the door-keeper's lodge. Of course the ladies would go up to the other convent, and his great size was no longer adapted to the climb to the Sacro Speco.
He told me that the door-keeper's daughters and their pretty cousin had made him wait for them to write to me, and he gave me three letters and three dozen of gloves which they had presented me. The letters urged me to come and spend a month with them, and gave me to understand that I should be well pleased with my treatment.
Ralph found a vacant seat in the car and dropped into it, breathless and excited. His good luck had come to him all in a moment so, that it had quite upset him. He did not just understand why the door-keeper's word should be good for his passage, but the conductor would know, and doubtless it was all right.
He suddenly became sober. The door-keeper's hand grasping at his collar clutched empty air. The detective's head dropped. Jim was met half-way by a short charge and Foyle's shoulder caught him in the chest. Both men were forced by the momentum of the charge back through the open door and fell in a heap just within. At ordinary times the two would have been fairly evenly matched.
I confess, too, that the door-keeper's niece was well worthy of being loved on her own merits. I found her perfect, perhaps better than Mdlle. Roman, a novice, would have been. In spite of my ardour her passion was soon appeased, and she begged me to let her go, and I did so; but it was quite time.
She was discreet and poor; and as I was discreet in my own way she ought not to despise my friendship. At eight o'clock, one of the door-keeper's daughters brought me my chocolate, and told me that Le Duc had got the fever. "You must take care of the poor fellow." "My cousin has just taken him some broth." "What is your name?" "My name is Rose, and my sister is Manon."
