Excerpt from Dr. Wainwright's Patient, Vol. 2 of 3: A Novel
Annette was silent, hut she glanced stealthily and shiftily out of the corners of her eyes. Mrs. Stothard still remained immersed in her occupation. The girl shifted uneasily from one foot to the other, hesitating, dallying, then shook herself together, as it were, and seeing she was still unnoticed, with a low chuckle silently and swiftly passed through the doorway and descended the stairs.
In seaside places such as Beachborough the evenings in late summer are chilly. There was a handful of fire in the dining-room grate, and while Miss Annette was sulking upstairs, and deliberating whether she should or should not come down, Captain Derinzy was standing on the rug with his hack to the grate, and from that post of vantage was haranguing his wife and his guest - Dr. Wainwright - in his own peculiar way.
