In what must have been a very short time-though it seemed an incredibly long one to me-some of the servants came running up; and then others, till the room seemed full of staring eyes, and dishevelled hair, and night clothes of all sorts.
...When they had gone, I felt that, except for the servants, I was all alone in the house, and that I knew nothing-of my Father or anything else; and a great longing came to me to have someone with me who could help me.
...Carriage, figure, hair, eyes; the mobile, full mouth, whose scarlet lips and white teeth seemed to light up the lower part of the face-as the eyes did the upper; the wide sweep of the jaw from chin to ear; the long, fine fingers; the hand which seemed to move from the wrist as though it had a sentience of its own.
...You know Miss Trelawny better than I do; and though I watch round the sick-room, and go where I like about the house and in and out of it, I havent the same opportunities as you have of knowing the lady and what her life is, or her means are; or of anything else which might give me a clue to her actions.
...I-I-he seemed slightly at a loss how to begin, and this gave me hope-I suppose I am to take it, from what you have said to me of your feelings towards my girl, that it is in your mind to be a suitor for her hand, later on?
