He turned. Long rose mechanically as if ordered by a superior, opened
the door, and disappeared into the dark hall. The doctor listened for
the sound of his footsteps. When he heard the tread on the ground
beneath the office window, he sighed and stepped out into the hall.
His daughter was standing in the doorway at the farther end, as if
looking for some one.
"Where is Mr. Long, papa?"
"He has gone."
The doctor's voice dwelt slightly on the last word. The girl glanced
at him sharply, and then turned back into the lighted drawing-room.
"Dinner is waiting, Jarvis," Mrs. Thornton spoke from a lounge within
the room. "Why didn't you keep Mr. Long?"
The doctor walked over to his wife and stood for a moment by her side.
She smiled in further interrogation; the doctor bent and kissed her.
"Long didn't care to stay," he replied. Then he went back to his
patient.
