Those awful chairs!"
After dinner the spinsters proceeded to inscribe their accustomed quota of
postcards, and Ruth was left to herself. Some day she wanted to be loved as Marius loved Cosette; but there was another
character which bit far more deeply into her mind. No
sooner had Trenchard crossed the threshold than a fierce barking was heard at
the farther extremity of the passage, and, the next moment, a couple of mastiffs
of the largest size rushed furiously towards him. He had pictured her, if indeed she had
ever had the courage to do this thing, as sitting alone, convulsed with guilty fear,
starting at her own shadow, a slave to constant terror. From McClintock's came an infernal tinkletinkle, tump-tump! There was no composing with such a sound hammering upon
the ear. Besides those who conducted themselves more peaceably, the conductors of the
procession noticed with considerable uneasiness, large bands of men armed with
staves, bludgeons, and other weapons, who were flying across the field in the
same direction. Then she was out of the door and
running, fast. She felt scrawny, lanky, badly
dressed in a baggy black T-shirt, sweaty, not at all
beautiful; not even pretty. If I don't, you shall clap me in the
