What he was continually looking at in the palm of his right hand was nothing but his watch, the minute hand of which he appeared to be noting intently. When the minute hand had recorded the lapse of five minutes more a door banged in the bedroom regions -a clear young voice was heard singing blithely -- light, rapid footsteps pattered on the upper stairs, descended with a jump to the landing, and pattered again, faster than ever, down the lower flight.
