Melusine sighed deeply. I sometimes laid away my father's clothes
in his trunk. Ben watched these manoeuvres with great interest, and strained every sinew in
his frame to keep ahead of the other boats. Was
there anything at all in those locked rooms of her aunt’s mind? Were they fully
furnished and only a little dusty and cobwebby and in need of an airing, or were
they stark vacancy except, perhaps, for a cockroach or so or the gnawing of a
rat? What was the mental equivalent of a rat’s gnawing? The image was going
astray. Drowning, her brain dizzy, Melusine clung
to the source of the flooding warmth, her hands, no longer forcibly held, moving
without will about the firm back. This formidable person, who was no other than the renowned Figg,
the "Atlas of the sword," as he is termed by Captain Godfrey, had removed his
hat and "skull covering," and was wiping the heat from his bepatched and closeshaven pate. “It’s THE Society!” said Miss Miniver. The assemblage was
for the most part, if not altogether, composed of persons to whom vice in all its
aspects was too familiar to present much of novelty, in whatever form it was
exhibited.
