The cup was half-full of tea. She did not lift her eyes when he entered, nor seem to be aware that another occupied the cabin besides herself. She looked at the piece of tongue with a smile which was a miracle of idiotism in its perfect conveyance of no meaning, then bit what was in her mouth, then smiled again; and again as suddenly frowned with a marvellous swiftness of transformation of facial[Pg 318] expression.

The prolonged screech told the switchmen and other trains that something serious was afoot, and that the line must be cleared.,"Loramighty!" Caleb sank weakly on a pile of horse-blankets, and gasped.
