Was her voice odd, startling?
They did not hear her. Emile was speaking now. She heard the deep, booming sound of his powerful voice, that seemed expressive of strength and will.
“Vere! Emile!”
As she called again she went towards the window. She felt passionately excited. The excitement had come suddenly to her when they had not heard her first call.
“Emile! Emile!” she repeated. “Emile!”
“Madre!”
“Hermione!”
Both voices sounded startled.
“What’s the matter?”
Vere appeared at the window, looking frightened.
