of every hour since midnight, Mrs. Eveleth had no thought of going
to bed. When she was not sitting bolt upright, indifferent to
comfort, in one of the stiff-backed, gilded chairs, she was
limping, with the aid of her cane, up and down the long suite of
salons, listening for the sound of wheels. She knew that George and
Diane would be surprised to find her waiting up for them, and that
they might even be annoyed; but in her state of dread it was
impossible to yield to small considerations. She could hardly tell
how this presentiment of disaster had taken hold upon her, for the
beginning of it must have come as imperceptibly as the first
flicker of dusk across the radiance of an afternoon. Looking back,
she could almost make herself believe that she had seen its shadow
over her early satisfaction in her son's marriage to Diane.
Certainly she had felt it there before their honeymoon was over.
The four years that had passed since then had been spent - or, at
least, she would have said so now - in waiting for the peril to
present itself.
