"Shore I reckoned thet," he replied, genially.

"But he won't be along yet awhile." He spoke with a cheerful inflection of tone, as if the fact designated was one that would please her; and his swarthy, seamy face expanded into a good-humored, meaning smile.

Then without any particular rudeness he pushed her back from the door, into the cabin, and stepped across the threshold.
"How dare--you!" cried Carley.

A hot anger that stirred in her seemed to be beaten down and smothered by a cold shaking internal commotion, threatening collapse.
