I climbed the three dilapidated flights of stairs, which I had so oftenclimbed before, and knocked at a small door at the end of the corridor.Mr. Wilde opened the door and I walked in. When he had double-locked the door and pushed a heavy chest against it,he came and sat down beside me, peering up into my face with his littlelight-coloured eyes.

Though Iwent twice to the door of the marble room, I could not force myself toenter. It was beyond my strength. I went into the smoking-room and satdown before the spinet.
