Presently she recovered her breath, and crept up-stairs.

Once in her room, with great care she locked the door, and sank upon her bed, shaking and trembling.
There she lay until the noise of the hall door closing very gently roused her.

She crept along the wall till she was by the side of the window.

Then she raised herself against the wall and peered out.

She saw Barstow and Parminter supporting Hine along the street, each with an arm through his.
