2 They went, shutting the door, and locking it behind them.
3 Go and stand by the door, out of the way of the mirror and the windows.
4 I was not quite sure whether they had locked the door; and when I dared move, I got up and went to see.
5 After she had seen him mount his horse and depart, she was about to close the door, but I ran up to her.
6 While pondering this new idea, I heard the front door open; Mr. Bates came out, and with him was a nurse.
7 I now stood in the empty hall; before me was the breakfast-room door, and I stopped, intimidated and trembling.
8 I got up, I went to the door; I came back again; I walked to the window, across the room, then close up to her.
9 I was puzzling to make out the subject of a picture on the wall, when the door opened, and an individual carrying a light entered; another followed close behind.
10 An odour of camphor and burnt vinegar warned me when I came near the fever room: and I passed its door quickly, fearful lest the nurse who sat up all night should hear me.

16 I did so, not at first aware what was his intention; but when I saw him lift and poise the book and stand in act to hurl it, I instinctively started aside with a cry of alarm: not soon enough, however; the volume was flung, it hit me, and I fell, striking my head against the door and cutting it.
17 Having given some further directions, and intimates that he should call again the next day, he departed; to my grief: I felt so sheltered and befriended while he sat in the chair near my pillow; and as he closed the door after him, all the room darkened and my heart again sank: inexpressible sadness weighed it down.
