The heart of Julia sunk at the sound, and she threw herself on a sopha, overwhelmed with bitter sensations. Here she was soon disturbed by a message from the marquis.

He took no notice of the two men seated at the table, but stepped to Lucy's door, knocked, paused, inserted the key, and passed in.
