"The heart has a faithful memory," replied the Syrian in a tone of correction, but Iras echoed, contemptuously, "The heart!" Then all were silent until, instead of the doorkeeper, Berenike herself came hurrying in, bringing the cloak.
He whom the church does not lift up above the church is not worthy to be a doorkeeper therein. Such thoughts passed through me, satisfied me, and left me peaceful, so that before I had reached the top, I was thanking the Lord not for his church-tower, but for his sexton's wife. The old woman was a jewel.
"Ah!" said the queen to De Winter, "he is one of my faithful adherents; but do you not observe, my dear lord, that we are so poorly served that it is left to my daughter to fill the office of doorkeeper?" "Madame, have pity on me," exclaimed De Winter; "you wring my heart!" "And who is this cavalier, Henrietta?" asked the queen.

There, under the care of a friendly doorkeeper who treated him to candy out of a paper bag, he stayed in perfect contentment until his parents were ready to go home.
Miss Pilgrim made a satirically low courtesy, and spoke in a modest but distinct voice, "I really must be excused for asking. I'm a stranger, you know; but is there such a lady here as Mrs. Craggs, Mrs. Cromwell Craggs? For if so, the present doorkeeper would like to see Mrs. Cromwell Craggs."

Such accidents occur every day; and their long list should make humble foot-passengers bless the lowly lot which preserves them from such peril. On learning the misfortune that had befallen M. d'Escorval, Lecoq's face wore such an expression of consternation that the doorkeeper could not help laughing.
