Mr. Woods was aware of a light step, a swishing, sibilant, delightful rustling  the caress of sound is the rustling of a well groomed woman's skirts  and of an afterthought of violets, of a mere reminiscence of orris, all of which came toward him through the dimness of the hall. MISTER WOODS WAS AWARE OF A LIGHT STEP A SWISHING SIBILANT DELIGHTFUL RUSTLING THE CARESS OF SOUND AS THE RUSTLING OF A WELL GROOMED WOMAN'S SKIRTS AND I WOULD AFTER THOUGHT OF VIOLETS OF MERE REMINISCENCE OF ORRIS ALL OF WHICH CAME TOWARD HIM THROUGH THE DIMNESS OF THE HALL
he meets who has any money. I'm sure she's welcome to him. I only pity any woman who has to put up with _him_. No, I don't," Margaret decided, after reflection; "I hate her, too!" Miss Hugonin went to the door leading to the hallway and paused. Then--I grieve to relate it--she shook a little pink-tipped fist in the air. "I detest you!" she commented, between her teeth; "oh, how _dare_ you make me feel so ashamed of the way I've treated you!" The query--as possibly you may have divined--was addressed to Mr. Woods. He was standing by the fireplace in the hallway, and his tall figure was outlined sharply against the flame of the gas-logs that burned there. His shoulders had a pathetic droop, a listlessness. Billy was reading a paper of some kind by the firelight, and the black outline of his face smiled grimly over it. Then he laughed and threw it into the fire. "Billy!" a voice observed--a voice that was honey and gold and velvet and all that is most sweet and rich and soft in the world.
