Where is he now, do you think?
Upstairs ?" "Yes.

It seems he spends all his time in a little alcove opposite his sister's door.

They won't let him inside, for fear of disturbing the patient; so he just sits where I've told you, doing nothing but listening to every sound that comes through the door." "Is he there now ?" "Yes, and shaking just like a leaf.

I walked by him a moment ago and noticed particularly." "Where's his room?
In sight of the alcove you mention ?" "No; there's a partition or two between.

If you go up by the side staircase, you can slip into it without any one seeing you.
