Her
heart
gave
a
startled
plunge
,
but
she
continued
to
hold
him
back
contemptuously
.
“
Well
,
I
guess
you
made
a
mistake
,
then
.
This
ain
’
t
your
wife
’
s
room
any
longer
.
”
She
was
not
frightened
,
she
simply
felt
a
deep
disgust
;
and
perhaps
he
divined
it
or
read
it
in
her
face
,
for
after
staring
at
her
a
moment
he
drew
back
and
turned
slowly
away
from
the
door
.
With
her
ear
to
her
keyhole
she
heard
him
feel
his
way
down
the
dark
stairs
,
and
toward
the
kitchen
;
and
she
listened
for
the
crash
of
the
cupboard
panel
,
but
instead
she
heard
him
,
after
an
interval
,
unlock
the
door
of
the
house
,
and
his
heavy
steps
came
to
her
through
the
silence
as
he
walked
down
the
path
.
She
crept
to
the
window
and
saw
his
bent
figure
striding
up
the
road
in
the
moonlight
.
Then
a
belated
sense
of
fear
came
to
her
with
the
consciousness
of
victory
,
and
she
slipped
into
bed
,
cold
to
the
bone
.
A
day
or
two
later
poor
Eudora
Skeff
,
who
for
twenty
years
had
been
the
custodian
of
the
Hatchard
library
,
died
suddenly
of
pneumonia
;
and
the
day
after
the
funeral
Charity
went
to
see
Miss
Hatchard
,
and
asked
to
be
appointed
librarian
.
The
request
seemed
to
surprise
Miss
Hatchard
:
she
evidently
questioned
the
new
candidate
’
s
qualifications
.
“
Why
,
I
don
’
t
know
,
my
dear
.
Aren
’
t
you
rather
too
young
?
”
she
hesitated
.
“
I
want
to
earn
some
money
,
”
Charity
merely
answered
.
“
Doesn
’
t
Mr
.
Royall
give
you
all
you
require
?
No
one
is
rich
in
North
Dormer
.
”
“
I
want
to
earn
money
enough
to
get
away
.
”
“
To
get
away
?
”
Miss
Hatchard
’
s
puzzled
wrinkles
deepened
,
and
there
was
a
distressful
pause
.
“
You
want
to
leave
Mr
.
Royall
?
”
“
Yes
:
or
I
want
another
woman
in
the
house
with
me
,
”
said
Charity
resolutely
.
