Still Bates and Hutchins talked.
At last, because Bates waited long enough, Eliza passed the door, and catching sight of him, she turned, suddenly staring as if she knew not exactly what she was doing.

There were two men at the bar drinking.
Hutchins, from his high swivel chair, was waiting upon them.

They both looked at Eliza; and now Bates, trembling in every nerve, felt only a weak fear lest she should turn upon him in wrath for being unfaithful, and summoned all his strength to show her that by the promise with which he had bound himself he would abide.

He looked at her as though in very truth he had never seen her before.

And the girl took his stony look as if he had struck her, and fell away from the door, so that they saw her no longer.
"Looked as if she'd seen someone she knew in here," remarked Hutchins, complacently.
