From time to time the other servants separately or in chorus gave expression to proper sentiments and then went on with what they had been doing.  \nOne name he uttered over and over, 'Ellen.'  \nThe pointed windows of Mr Eldon's room were naked glass with no blinds or curtains. For this was in Eire where there is no blackout.  \nCame a man's laugh. Miss Burch jerked, then the voice broke out again. Charley Raunce, head footman, was talking outside to Bert his yellow pantry boy. She recognized the voice but could not catch what was said.  \n' ... on with what I was on with,' he spoke, 'you should clean your teeth before ever you have anything to do with a woman. That's a matter of personal hygiene. Because I take an interest in you for which you should be thankful. I'm sayin' you want to take it easy my lad, or you'll be the death of yourself.'  \nThe lad looked sick.  \n'A spot of john barley corn is what you are in need of,' Raunce went on, but the boy was not having any.  \n'Not in there,' he said in answer, quavering, 'I couldn't.'  \n'How's that? You know where he keeps the decanter don't you? Surely you must do.'  \n'Not cut of that room I couldn't.'  \n'Go ahead, don't let a little thing worry your guts,' Raunce said. He was a pale individual, paler now. 'The old man's on with his Ellen, 'e won't take notice.'  \n'But there's Miss Burch.'  \n'Is that so? Then why didn't you say in the first place? That's different. Now you get stuck into my knives and forks. I'll handle her.'  \nRaunce hesitated, then went in. The boy looked to listen as for a shriek. The door having been left ajar he could hear the way Raunce put it to her.  \n'This is my afternoon on in case they take it into their heads to punish the bell,' he told her. 'If you like I'll sit by him for a spell while you go get a breath of air.'  \n'Very good then,' she replied, 'I might.'  \n'That's the idea Miss Burch, you take yourself out for a stroll. It'll fetch your mind off.'  \n'I shan't be far. Not out of sight just round by the back. You'd call me, now, if he came in for a bad spell?'  \nCharley reassured her. She came away. Bert stood motionless his right hand stiff with wet knives. That door hung wide once more. Then, almost before Miss Burch was far enough to miss it, was a noise of the drawer being closed. Raunce came back, a cut-glass decanter warm with whisky in his hands. The door stayed gaping open.  \n'Go ahead, listen,' he said to Bert, 'it's meat and drink at your age, I know, an old man dying but this stuff is more than grub or wine to me. That's what. Let's get us behind the old door.'  \nTo do so had been ritual in Mr Eldon's day. There was cover between this other door, opened back, and a wall of the pantry. Here they poured Mrs T.'s whisky. 'Ellen,' came the voice again, 'Ellen.'  \nAt a rustle Raunce stuck his head out while Bert, farther in because he was smallest, could do no more than peek the other way along a back passage, his eyes on a level with one of the door hinges. Bert saw no one. But Charley eyed Edith, one of two under-housemaids.  \nShe stood averted watching that first door which stayed swung back into Mr Eldon's room. Not until he had said, 'hello there,' did she turn. Only then could he see that she had stuck a peacock's feather above her lovely head, in her dark-folded hair. 'What have you?' he asked pushing the decanter out to the front edge so much as to say, 'look what I've found.'  \nIn both hands she held a gauntlet glove by the wrist. He could tell that it  \nwas packed full of white unbroken eggs.'Why you gave me a jump,' she said, not startled.  \n'Look what I've got us,' he answered, glancing at the decanter he held out. Then he turned his attention back where perhaps she expected, onto the feather in her hair.  \n'You take that off before they can set eyes on you,' he went on, 'and what's this?
