"Nom," answered the boy; and noticing her pallor and apprehension, "I'll shet the door for you," he added, laying his hand on the knob. "Thank you.

Seeing the streaming light, the boy managed to accelerate his snail’s pace. “Miss Ruth Levice live here?” he asked, stopping in the doorway. “Yes.” She took the packet he handed her. “Any charges or answers?” she asked.
