A keen wind rushed through it, and by the blown candle's light he could see snowflakes whirled into the house through the window's dark, star studded square. A KEEN WIND RUSHED THROUGH IT AND BY THE BLOWN CANDLE'S LIGHT HE COULD SEE SNOW FLAKES WHIRLED INTO THE HOUSE THROUGH THE WINDOW'S DARK STAR STUDDED SQUARE
put out his rushlight and stayed quiet for a little while, but presently it was impossible to stay quiet another moment, so very softly and carefully he crept out and hid behind a tall press at the end of the passage. He felt that strange things were happening in the house and that he must know what they were. Presently there were voices below, voices coming up the stairs--the nurse's voice, his cousins', and another voice. Where had he heard that other voice? The stopped-clock feeling was thick about him as he realized that this was one of the voices he had heard on that night of the first magic--the voice that had said, "He is more yours than mine." The light the nurse carried gleamed and disappeared up the second flight of stairs. Dickie followed. He had to follow. He could not be left out of this, the most mysterious of all the happenings that had so wonderfully come to him. He saw, when he reached the upper landing, that the others were by the window, and that the window was open.
