From her seat she could see along the hall and also through the other door into the "big settin'-room," where, also, there were rows of chairs.
And, to her horror, these chairs began to fill.

People, most of them dressed in church-going garments which rattled and rustled, were tiptoeing in and sitting down where she could see them and they could see her.

She did not dare to move now; did not dare go near the music chair even if going near it would have done any good.

She remained upon the sofa, and shivered.
A few moments later Mrs.Hobbs appeared, looking very solemn and Sundayfied, and sat beside her.

Then Judge and Mrs.Baxter were shown into the little room and took two of the remaining chairs.
