"Ah, indeed?" said Miss Hugonin. Her tone imparted a surprising degree of chilliness to this simple remark. "No," she went on, very formally, "this is not a private room; you owe me no apology for being here. Indeed, I am rather obliged to you, Mr. Woods, for none of us knew of these secret drawers. AH INDEED SAID MISS YGONAN HER TONE IMPARTED A SURPRISING DEGREE OF CHILLINESS TO THIS SIMPLE REMARK NO SHE WENT ON VERY FORMALLY THIS IS NOT A PRIVATE ROOM YOU OWE ME NO APOLOGY FOR BEING HERE INDEED I AM RATHER OBLIGED TO YOU MISTER WOODS FOR NONE OF US KNEW OF THOSE SECRET DRAWERS
