The library doors were heard open

the sound of the front door closing.
George moved toward the head of
the stairs, then stood listening, but
the house was silent.
Fanny made slight noise with her
lips to attract his attention, and, when
he glanced toward her, shook her head
at him urgently. "Let her alone" she
whispered. "She's down there by her
self. Don't go down. Let her alone"
She moved a few steps toward him
and halted, her face pallid and awe
struck, and then both stood listening
for anything that might break the 81

them; that poignant silence was con.
tinued throughout long, long minutes

protested; and he moved as if to rise.
"Just let's stay like this a little
