'I can pay the price of a room,' the old man said.

She turned her back on the room and began to play with it, hoping that no one could see what she was doing

Mme Thenardier rushed across the room towards Cosette who, afraid that she would be punished, put the doll gently on the floor and began to cry.

There was a sudden silence in the room

The Thenardiers gave the old man their best room for the night

He then carried Cosette, who was sleeping in his arms, along a dark corridor and up some stairs to the room he had rented since his escape from Montreuil

There was not much furniture in the room - just an old bed, a mattress on the floor, a table, some chairs and a lighted stove

A streetlamp shone through the only window, lighting the dark interior of the room.

'I'm coming, Madame,' she yawned, blinded by the bright winter's sunlight that was shining into the room.

Although he was rich, he had chosen a room in a poor part of Paris, where nobody would find him

A few evenings later, while he was giving Cosette a reading lesson in his room, Valjean heard the front door of the house open and close

Someone with a candle was standing outside his room.

At daybreak, as he was falling asleep at last, he heard footsteps in the corridor outside his room again

For the next three years, Marius lived in a small room in an old, damp-walled building on the outskirts of Paris - the same room that Valjean and Cosette had lived in eight years earlier

He now had five letters, all the work of one author: the man who lived with his family in the next room.

Marius looked up from the letter and watched the girl moving fearlessly around his room, studying the furniture and the mirror on the wall

Now, after his conversation with the girl from the next room, he understood what real poverty was

Only a thin wall separated him from the family of lost souls in the room next door

As Marius was thinking about the sad life of the family in the next room, he stared dreamily at the wall that separated them

He stood on a cupboard, put his eye to the hole, and looked through it into his neighbours' room.

The Jondrettes' room was dirty and evil-smelling, unlike Marius's bare but clean room

Marius, depressed at what he saw, was going to get down from the cupboard when the door of the Jondrettes' room opened and the elder girl came in

As she entered the room, she put a large parcel on the table.

He went into his room, pushing the door behind him, but the door would not shut

She had not entered the room, but was still standing in the half-light of the corridor.

Moving closer to her, he said, 'Do you know the address of those people who've just left your room?'

But then he heard a loud voice from the next room.

He told the two girls to leave the room and then, when alone with his wife, he said, 'And I recognized the girl too

'We'll know what to do about it.' And then, as he was going to leave the room, he turned to his wife and said, 'You know, it's lucky he didn't recognize me

With an ugly laugh, he pulled his cap down over his eyes and left the room.

Finally, he asked Marius for his door key and told him to go home and hide quietly in his room so that his neighbours would think he was out.

Back in his room, Marius sat down nervously on his bed

A fire burned in the corner of the room, filling it with blood-red light

Suddenly, at exactly six o'clock, the door into the Jondrettes' room opened.

He took a piece of brick from the wall, wrapped the piece of paper around it and threw it through the hole into the middle of Thenardier's room.

When everybody had been arrested and taken from the room, Javert noticed the prisoner, who was standing, head bowed, by the window

You aren't living in the same room any more?'

Valjean had gone away on business for a couple of days, and Cosette was in the downstairs sitting room, playing the piano.

Gillenormand's sitting-room

After listening to Marius's heart, he organized his removal to a bed in another room, and returned to M

Gillenormand showed them up to the room where Marius was waiting

We could meet in that little room on the ground floor

'Monsieur, you are very kind,' said Jean Valjean, shaking Marius's hand and leaving the room.

Marius kept his promise about not telling Cosette, and Valjean visited her every evening in a small room on the ground floor

He waited in the small, damp room for an hour before sadly returning home

One evening he discovered there were no chairs in the room at all - he and Cosette had to stand in the cold for their whole meeting

He was even more surprised when, instead of chasing him out of the room, Marius ran towards him and pressed several thousand-franc notes into his hand.

Jean Valjean listened as she described the view from the room that would be his, the beauty of the garden, the singing of the birds, but he was listening more to the music of her voice than to the meaning of her words

He climbs up the ladder in a second, and we run into the main room of the bank.

It is a large room with oak tables, a dark marble counter and expensive leather sofas

His shift finishes in five minutes, but there is no one around in Howarth's quiet police station, and so he leads the woman to the first interview room and tries to suppress the image of a pint of beer in the Black Bull pub.

The interview room is cold, the lights weak and grey, but he offers the woman a seat and hopes that this will be quick.

"I know, Detective, because I am that driver." Then there is only the sound of her crying to fill the cold interview room, and Branwell sits down again and picks up his pen and notepad

An hour later Branwell closes the door of the interview room and sighs

She's in the interview room now."

Sure, there are one or two bigger than her, but none of them has her romance or her luxury," Mrs Carolina Heath says as they enter the dining room.

With fire? How? She locks him in a room in a burning house?"

The judge leaves, the jury returns to its room to make a verdict, and the Lee family exit to wait in the lobby.

In the court room she always looks sad and confused

The Lee family is back in the room now, and he looks at them

Something that makes the hairs on your arms stand up and that makes your eyes search the horrible, complete darkness of your room.

And you can see your room now, though everything seems strange and different, and everything makes you feel more afraid.

The lamp in the corner of the room looks like the tall, silent figure of a murderer, and the coat on the back of your door has hands that almost touch you.

Inside the room everything is silent, apart from the slow and constant tick of the small clock on the wall, and the fast, irregular beat of your heart.

There! A sound! Not a dream, but movement in the spare room, where you keep the computer!

Then you hear another noise from the spare room.

If there is someone in the next room trying to steal your new computer

You walk silently to the door of your room

The door to the spare room is half open, and you can hear the sound of the wind outside

You know now that the window to the spare room is open, and you know this is how the burglar entered.

Your hand is nearly on the light switch when you hear another noise from the room

You want to turn back and run to your room and hide under the blanket and be completely silent and not move.

The same cold grey walls, the same uncomfortable heavy pews and the same weak candles to light up the dark room.

A horrible reminder of last night, of the girl and of the hotel room

He remembers that afterwards they were in the hotel room kissing, but then something happened, and she laughed

He woke up late in the hotel room and was alone

And he remembers the last thing she said before she closed the door to the hotel room.

He's in the back room of the cabin."

The secretary outside the headmaster's room tells them they can enter, but Smith stops

The secretary, a young and pretty blonde, enters the room and sits by the table

He takes his meals in the room

At Space 234, they stepped inside the little room and closed the door

Sala chose the Beach illusion, and the walls of the room disappeared

Back inside the apartment, Sala found her nine-year-old brother Apat playing games on the ultranet in his room.

Sala went to her own tiny room, and played her ultranet messages

But afterward, you were still in the city in a tiny room, surrounded by thousands of other people doing exactly the same thing

Some of them were really beautiful, but you couldn't really explore them because you were still in a little room with a time limit

Sala went back down to her room and sent Cham a message.

The following afternoon, as Sala walked up and down in her little room, waiting to go with Cham for their pod experience, she had a strange feeling in her stomach

Sala and Cham each went into a little room and Sala put on her suit, made a neat pile of her clothes, and carried them out to Zee

Sala went up to her room and sent a message to Cham: "Need to talk to you

Sala stepped into a room: an ordinary earth apartment, just like thousands of others.

The room was almost empty

Sala looked around the room

At that moment, a door opened at the far end of the room, and a man appeared

She brought out her paints, and, sitting in her room, started working on a picture: the green leaves of Gran's Real Space, bright and bursting with life; gray tower blocks in the background

"Coming!" Sala left her room and found that Gran had just prepared some fresh juice.

She pushed it gently and, her knees trembling, she stepped into the room

Sala rushed into the room that she had seen on her previous visit

She was at the kitchen table with Mom and Gran, but Apat was in his room, and she didn't want him to hear them.

Terrified, Sala rushed from her room as soon as she and Cham had finished talking.

The line moved forward slowly; then a technician called Odem led them through the thick glass doors, past the test laboratory, and into a waiting room

Zee took them to the same room as before

At the far end of the room, she saw Ding, and waved

My job was to talk to them, light their cigarettes and tidy the room after they had gone.

I knew the number of his room

He was having breakfast at a small table in his sitting-room

We got up from the table and walked out of the room together

Maxim walked towards the sitting-room.

The library was a large comfortable room

There was a quiet peace in the room

'Mrs Danvers asked if you would like to see your room.'

At last Mrs Danvers opened a door leading into a small room

This room led into a large, light bedroom with wide windows

'But this is a very charming room

'Mr de Winter gave very careful orders in his letter about this room

He has never used this room.'

Maxim came into the room.

Then she turned and went quietly out of the room.

'There's something very quiet and peaceful about this room

'Not like you? Why shouldn't she like you?' said Maxim and he came across the room and kissed me gently.

But I did not feel very happy as Maxim walked out of the room

I left the dining-room and went into the library

The room was cold

I went across the hall and into the dining-room once more

At that moment, Frith came into the room.

'Mrs de Winter always used the morning-room before lunch

'I'll go into the morning-room

'Mrs de Winter always wrote her letters in the morning-room after breakfast

I could not tell Frith that I had never seen the morning-room

'You go through the drawing-room to the morning-room, Madam,' Frith said, watching me

I found my way into the little morning-room

The morning-room was quite small and very different from the library

It was a woman's room, graceful and charming

Someone had chosen everything in this room with the greatest care

Each chair, each rug, each small ornament had been put there to make the room perfect.

Flowers filled the room, glowing blood-red flowers

I felt that Rebecca would come back into the room at any moment

I ran quickly out of the morning-room

'I lost my way,' I said, 'I was trying to find my room.'

'Didn't you hear their car? Frith took them to the morning-room

As I went into the drawing-room, I looked back

I could hear the sound of voices from the morning-room

The room was furnished and there were books on the shelves.

Another door at the end of the room led into a small boat-house

There was something frightening about that small, dark room

I walked across the room and knelt down by Maxim's chair.

But Frank did not sit in the morning room every day as I did

One day, Robert brought a large parcel into the morning-room where I was sitting alone

I looked round the room for somewhere to put the books

Mrs Danvers has accused him of taking a valuable ornament from the morning-room

No one except Robert has been in the room, apart from Madam, of course

Mrs Danvers doesn't let the maids clean the morning-room.'

'Very good, sir,' said Frith and quietly left the room.

The door opened without a sound and Mrs Danvers came into the room

As she left the room I could see the scorn and hatred in her eyes.

He kissed me and walked across the room.

I went back into the dining-room and took an apple and some biscuits

I walked up the steps, through the hall and into the morning-room

Jasper had moved towards the drawing-room, wagging his tail.

'Hallo, Jasper, old boy,' said a man's voice and Jasper ran back into the morning-room

He lit a cigarette and looked round the room.

I was surprised to see that the room was completely furnished

The room, a bedroom, was the most beautiful I had ever seen

I walked slowly into the middle of the room

Rebecca would never come back to this room again

I looked round the room, the most beautiful in Manderley

A room that was never used now.

'You wanted to see this room, didn't you? Now you are here, let me show you everything.'

'It's a lovely room, isn't it? That was her bed

Mrs Danvers put the slippers back under the chair and walked across the room to a large wardrobe.

'I come into these room and dust them every day,' Mrs Danvers said

In the morning-room and in the hall

I shut the door of the room and locked it.

As we sat in the drawing-room eating cake and sandwiches, one of our visitors suddenly said to Maxim, 'Oh, Mr de Winter

Then I ran from her, back to my room, tripping and nearly falling over my long skirt.

The door of the dining-room was open

I went up the stairs and along the corridor to my room

Sunlight filled the room

I met Robert in the dining-room.

I went into the small room behind the library and picked up the telephone

I went through the house, along the dark silent corridor of the west wing to Rebecca's room

'You'd better go to your room.'

I walked slowly out of the room

As I sat drinking my tea, Robert came back into the room.

Robert went out of the room with the message

I went out of the room quickly and shut the door behind me

At that moment, the telephone in the next room began to ring.

Maxim went into the little room and closed the door

'That was Colonel Julyan,' said Maxim, as he came back into the room

I took the letters into the morning-room

To my surprise, the room was dusty and untidy

I took the roses back into the morning-room

She went out of the room.

Maxim and Frank went on into the dining-room and Colonel Julyan continued to speak to me quietly.

Frith and Robert were in the room and no one wanted to talk about the boat

The policeman took me into an empty room

I got up and walked out of the little room

The room was small and full of people

Tabb, the boat-builder, standing in the centre of the room, was answering the Coroner's questions.

It was hot in that crowded room, far too hot

I was sitting in the little room again

I went upstairs to my room, and lay down on my bed

Maxim came into the room and stood by the door

I'm meeting Frank and Colonel Julyan at the church.' He left the room quickly and then I heard the sound of his car driving away.

'I'm afraid Maxim is not here,' I said, when Favell walked into the room

Maxim walked slowly towards the telephone in the next room.

Maxim came back again into the room.

Ben stepped into the room and stared at everyone with his small eyes

Frank took Ben out of the room as the Colonel nodded his head.

'Isn't Mrs Danvers the housekeeper?' asked Colonel Julyan as Frith left the room.

'I've got her diary in my room,' Mrs Danvers replied

Frank took the diary without a word and went into the next room

She took us into a cool room at the back of the house

She went out and in a few minutes a tall man came into the room.

While Dr Baker was out of the room, we said nothing

Dr Baker came back into the room with a large book

He listens, but everything is quiet in the room

On four or five occasions during the past two weeks, she had taken the pistol from the nightstand and searched the place, room by room, but she hadn't found anyone

Tina searched the entire house, except for Danny's old room, but she didn't find an intruder

His clothes weren't the only things that she had kept: His entire room was exactly as he had left it

Her inability to clean out his room suddenly frightened her; for the first time it seemed like more than just a weakness of spirit but an indication of serious mental illness

If she was ever to stop dreaming about the boy, if she were to get control of her grief, she must begin her recovery here, in this room, by conquering her irrational need to preserve his possessions in situ.

Danny had left it at the far end of the room, beyond the bed, against the wall, and that was where it had stood the last time that Tina had been here

And it had been blank the last time she'd been in this room.

In one of her terrible seizures of grief, in a moment of crazy dark despair, had she come into this room and unknowingly printed those words on Danny's chalkboard?

Shivering, she thoroughly erased the words on the chalkboard, retrieved her handgun, and left the room, pulling the door shut behind her.

The room stepped down toward the stage in alternating wide and narrow galleries

She was in such an excellent mood that she didn't think even the sight of his room would be able to bring her down, as it usually did

She stood indecisively in the center of the small kitchen, trying to find the willpower to go to Danny's room and box his clothes, as she had planned

The living room.

After a long silence, a brief clattering echoed through the house from another room, startling Vivienne

The dining room was deserted.

In the living room, she clicked on a Stifel lamp

There were five photographs in addition to the one that had dropped onto the sofa; two were responsible for the noises that had drawn her into the living room, and the other three were those that she had seen popping off the picture hooks

She crossed the room to the hallway that served the bedrooms, bathrooms, and den

The noise was louder in the corridor than it had been in the living room

Toward Danny's old room.

In spite of her anxiety, a power she could sense - but which she could not define - drew her inexorably to Danny's room.

A wave of frigid air washed out of the dark room, into the hallway.

The room was deserted.

It didn't begin to melt; the room was cold.

The room was silent.

As the room grew warm again, the doorknobs and the radio casing and the other metal objects quickly shed their fragile skins of ice, leaving shallow puddles on furniture and damp spots in the carpet

Now this was only a young boy's bedroom, a room like countless thousands of others.

A loose windowpane in the living room rattled slightly whenever a strong gust of wind struck it

Shortly before midnight, Danny's room began to grow cold

Snippets of music and shards of voices crackled in an eerie audio-montage that echoed and re-echoed off the walls of the frigid room.

For almost five minutes, the room seemed to have come alive.

In the morning, she would clean out Danny's room

She had to know if he'd been in the house, in Danny's room, without her knowledge or permission.

She ate a light breakfast of grapefruit juice and one English muffin, then went to Danny's room to pack his belongings

The room was a mess

Shaking with rage, Tina slowly crossed the room, carefully stepping through the debris

A couple of minutes later, having completed the call, Tina went back to Danny's room to survey the damage again

On the right, beyond the craps tables, halfway down the long room, elevated from the main floor, the white-marble and brass baccarat pit catered to a more affluent and sedate group of gamblers; at baccarat, the pit boss, the floor man, and the dealers wore tuxedos

The huge room was so noisy that the blend of sounds seemed to coalesce into a visible substance - like a humid yellow haze in the air

Halfway across the long room, they stopped at a clearing where a middle-aged man lay on his back, unconscious, in front of a blackjack table

Her original intention had been to accuse him of ripping apart Danny's room; she had been prepared to come on strong, so that even if he didn't want her to know he'd done it, he might be rattled enough to reveal his guilt

But if Michael hadn't torn up Danny's room, if Michael hadn't written those words on the chalkboard, then who had?

Michael hadn't wrecked Danny's room

The number was 1001012, identified as the access for "Comps," which meant "complimentary guests," a euphemism for "big losers," who were never asked to pay their room charges or restaurant bills because they routinely dropped small fortunes in the casino.

But the room had been warm when Tina had first come in to use the computer, and now it was cool

Nevertheless, the room was much cooler than it had been only minutes ago.

The room was growing colder by the second.

Even though he was only a creature from a nightmare, and even though it was utterly impossible for him to be here in the flesh, she couldn't shake the heart-clenching feeling that he was in the room

She spun around in her chair, but no one had come into the room.

The room was positively arctic.

She was still aware of another presence in the room

Indeed the feeling of invisible and dangerous companionship was growing stronger as the room grew colder.

How could he make the room colder without using the air conditioner? Whoever he was, he could override her computer from another terminal in the building; she could accept that

Immediately, rapidly, the room began to grow warmer.

She told him about the bizarre things that had been happening to her lately: the messages on Danny's chalkboard; the wreckage she'd found in the boy's room; the hateful, taunting words that appeared in the computer lists and on the monitor.

Maybe I wrecked Danny's room."

Besides, if it was you who wrote on the chalkboard and smashed things in the boy's room, then it was also you who came in here during the night and programmed the hotel computer to spew out that stuff about Danny

They turned out the lights and left the room, closing the door after them.

Elliot switched on the bedside lamp to prove to her that they were alone in the room.

But Tina wanted to go back to her place and clean out Danny's room

Turning, he saw a strange man enter the kitchen from the dining room

"Are you the ones who wrecked the boy's room?"

Tina resolutely cleaned up the mess in Danny's room and packed his belongings

She gritted her teeth, however, and restrained the urge to leave the room with the job uncompleted.

He followed her past the kitchen, into the short hall, into the laundry room, and from there into the garage.

"Well," she said, "I was cleaning the back room

Bob was already out of the kitchen, in the dining room, running toward the front of the house

Elliot went after him but was slowed by the dining-room chairs, which the fleeing man had overturned in his wake

In the living room, other furniture was knocked over, and books were strewn on the floor

Tina left the repairman from the gas company in the garage and returned to Danny's room

She returned to Danny's room and picked up the lurid magazine

When she opened the door, he came in fast, almost in a crouch, glancing past her, left and right, toward the living room, then toward the dining area, speaking rapidly, urgently

I was cleaning out Danny's room."

Still carrying the magazine, she rushed through the house, past the kitchen, into the laundry room

"I found it when I was cleaning out Danny's room

"Is that who's been in Danny's room? Did someone from Project Pandora write on the chalkboard..

He didn't want to attract the attention of the omnipresent casino security men, and the easiest way to escape their notice was to appear to be the least threatening hick in the huge room

During their periodic breaks from the gaming tables, nursing stiff necks and sore shoulders and leaden arms, the weary dealers retired to a combination lounge and locker room at the bottom - and to the right - of the escalator

"Give the man room," Bruckster said

Deep inside the secret Sierra complex, three stories below ground level, this room measured forty feet by twenty

In the middle of the west wall - one of the two shorter walls - opposite the entrance to the room, was a six-foot-long, three-foot-high window that provided a view of another space, which was only half as large as this outer chamber

Because it was important for the men who worked in the large room to have an unobstructed view of the smaller inner chamber at all times, four angled ceiling vents in both rooms bathed the glass in a continuous flow of warm, dry air to prevent condensation and clouding

The cold spell won't last." He squinted into the smaller room, where the boy lay motionless on a hospital bed, under a white sheet and yellow blanket, trailing monitor wires

When Elliot was informed that a room was available, after all, for two nights, he signed the registration card as "Hank Thomas," a slight twist on the name of one of his favorite movie stars; he entered a phony Seattle address too

He and Tina were given a spacious, pleasantly decorated room on the ninth floor.

Back in the hotel room, they opened one of the maps on the bed, and Elliot said, "Now what?"

It flapped noisily to the other end of the room and then back again, finally falling like a dead bird onto the floor at Elliot's feet.

Billy's dining room was neat too

An entire battalion of nitpickers and fussbudgets would be hard-pressed to find a speck of dust in this room.

Sandstone was rubbing his hands up and down his arms to ward off the steadily deepening chill that had gripped the room

After half a minute, all of the unnatural movement stopped, and the room rapidly grew warm again.

"I'll get the recorder," Billy said, hurrying out of the dining room.

Hensen left the room.

They shared a premonition that someone decidedly unfriendly was waiting in their room.

Perhaps they would have been smarter to turn around, go back to Reno, find another hotel room, and get a fresh start in the morning

In the rectangular room, three stories underground, computers hummed and murmured.

In room 918, the Network operatives discovered a cheap suitcase, dirty clothes, toothbrushes, various toiletry items - and eleven maps in a leatherette case, which Elliot and Tina, in their haste and weariness, evidently had overlooked.

By 5:40, everything that Stryker and the woman had left in the hotel room was brought to Alexander's office.

They went into the next room.

They crossed the room, passing the guard who was bound and gagged in his chair

Opposite the sliding door through which she and Elliot had entered, the security room was another door of more ordinary dimensions and construction

Five feet away, a door stood ajar, and animated conversation drifted out of the room beyond

Tina knew that she and Elliot were finished if someone came out of that room and saw them

Laughter pealed from the nearby room again, and Elliot said softly, "Where now?"

They were in a rectangular room approximately forty feet by twenty

"In the isolation chamber." Dombey indicated the window in the back wall of the room

As the three of them moved to the airtight steel door that led into the room beyond the window, Elliot said, "Why is he in an isolation chamber? Is he ill?"

Then you seal the room you're working in

Then you tie me up and gag me, leave me in the outer room

When they took Danny out of the small room, they couldn't hear Zachariah's shouted invectives through the airtight steel door.

In the room near the elevators, people were still talking and laughing, but no one stepped into the corridor.

In each subsequent meeting, one or the other would show up to take story notes on their latest draft, while the missing partner would always have been waylaid by an emergency of one kind or another: a broken washing machine and a flooded laundry room, the sudden-onset illness of a cat with symptoms suggesting (to me) demonic possession, the death of a beloved aunt, the death of a beloved uncle, the death of a beloved neighbor (I began to worry that merely by associating with these women, decades would be shorn from my life span), migraine headaches, and an unfortunate encounter with an angry Big Foot in a long line at the DMV

Because I was never in the room with both partners, getting a thoughtful response to a story note I'd given was impossible, because neither could speak for the other and could only promise to consult when next they met at the deathbed of whatever beloved person expired that week.

I have room for just one example

But there was one small room at the top of the house which was always locked

Nobody could go into this room.

'Uncle Elias went immediately to the secret room and took out a box which also had three Ks on it

He stayed in his room most of the time, and drank more than before

Of course I asked him to look carefully at the locked room, but we didn't find anything important.'

'Well, I found this in the locked room,' said John Openshaw

But as soon as I was out of the room, I ran up the stairs to my study

I took her back and waited while she went up to her room

I ran upstairs, threw Helene's envelope onto my desk and made another careful search of the room

Andre's receiving machine was only a few feet away from his transmitter, in the next room of his laboratory

Having carefully closed the door, he took me to the other end of the room and gave me a pair of very dark sun glasses

Then he pushed a switch and the whole room was brightly lit by an orange flash of light

Andre then took me into the next room

We went back into the other room.

Without waiting for Andre, I rushed into the next room and looked into the receiving booth.

It was just a little later when Henri came running into the room to say that he had caught a funny fly

Walk over to my desk and put down the bowl of milk Then go into the other room where the receiving booth is

I put the bowl on his desk, then walked into the next room where all the lights were on.

I heard Andre moving in the next room, and then a strange sucking noise, as though he had trouble drinking his milk.

'Why don't you go to bed? I'll take you to the guest room

Andre pointed to the other door, and I walked into the next room

Then I went into the next room.

Slowly, the monster, the thing that had been my husband, covered its head, got up and found its way into the other room.

He looks in every room of the house.

But Mary, who is a servant at the vicarage, just put a dish of unpleasant-looking cabbage on the table and left the room.

What luck.' He quickly left the room and Griselda and I went into my study.

Then I saw that the hands of the clock pointed to a quarter to five, which meant that it was really half-past four, so I got up and went to the sitting room

'You'd believe me whatever I said, wouldn't you?' And then she left the room.

I took a few steps across the room and then stopped

Then Mary came to tell me that Griselda was back, so I went to the sitting room and told her everything

He went in, threw down the pistol, and said, "I did it." Just like that.' Satisfied, she left the room.

'Inspector Slack has locked the room.'

There was a loud knock on the dining room door

The doctor had just come in and was eating a plate of eggs and bacon in the dining room

As Melchett and I left the bedroom, I saw a thin man come out of another room along the passage.

We rang the bell and were shown by a maid into the sitting room.

I opened the sitting room door and on the sofa beside Griselda, sat Gladys Cram, Dr Stone's secretary.

'Yes, you can go.' She left the room, and I turned to Griselda

'I'll call the station,' said Slack, 'and then we'll get to work on this room.'

I decided to leave them and found my wife and Miss Marple in the sitting room.

The room was empty

'You say the room was empty, Mrs Protheroe?'

Inspector Slack told me to return to the other side of the room

'Then can you tell us where the vicar was in the room?' asked Inspector Slack.

'You promise to tell no one outside this room?'

I've put him in the sitting room.' Then she handed me a note

In the sitting room, Mrs Lestrange rose to meet me

She had seen it in Mr Redding's sitting room

He led the way upstairs and into his sitting room, where Miss Cram was working

She never forgets anything.' He went into the next room and returned with a suitcase.

"Well," I said, "There was no hat here when I cleaned the room on Thursday morning." And she said, "But I don't expect you would have seen it

You don't spend much time cleaning a room, do you?" And she pointed at some dust on the table

At Old Hall, we were shown into the sitting room

We then went into the dining room for lunch, where Lettice joined us.

I followed her up the stairs to her small sitting room

But to my surprise, she continued along to the end of the passage, then up a narrow staircase and into a large dark room under the roof

I followed Anne down to her sitting room

And when I found Lettice alone downstairs in the sitting room, I went in and shut the door.

Mrs Protheroe did come to the study, but only as far as the window, not inside the room.'

I crushed the paper in my hand and threw it into the fireplace just as Griselda entered the room.

'Well, the third is, of course, that the room really was empty.'

It felt as though years had passed when I heard the door open and Melchett entered the room

A moment later, the doctor entered the room

Haydock came into the room, looking very tired

I went into the dining-room, sat down, and told her the things that I had seen.

He followed me into the dining-room.

He had eaten no food since midday, and I found some meat and bread and brought it into the room

My brother walked from Westminster to his room near Regent's Park

Then he crossed the room and began to dress, running with each piece of clothing to the window in order to miss nothing of the growing excitement

As my brother began to realize how serious the situation was, he returned quickly to his room, put all the money he had - about ten pounds - into his pockets and went out again into the streets.

And where it met with water, or even mist or wet grass, a chemical action took place and it turned into a powder that sank slowly and made room for more.

Passengers were fighting for standing room in the carriages even at two o'clock in the morning

I went after him, picking up the coal-hammer as I entered the room

The tentacle was now two metres or more into the room, moving backwards and forwards with strange, sudden movements

I searched every room for food until, when I was ready to give up, I found some bread and two tins of fruit in one of the bedrooms

I was tired after eating and went into the room behind the bar and slept on a black leather sofa that I found there.

I came down and went into the dining-room

He walked all around the room saying, "Isn't Mr Holmes going to return?" Finally he left.'

Just then, as Holmes was talking, we heard someone walking up the stairs, and then a man walked into the room without knocking.

'Anyway, my friend and I have heard many strange secrets in this room, and we have had the fortune to help many people

'That same night something strange happened! In the middle of the night, when I was not completely asleep, I became aware that my wife was dressed and was leaving the room

I walked into the house and found no one, but upstairs I found a comfortable room, and on the mantelpiece stood a full-length photograph of my wife

We rushed up the stairs to the lighted room

Her face was turned away from us when we entered the room, but we could see she was wearing a red dress and long white gloves

We were sitting in my room and were smoking and talking about our bad health.

That evening, George, William Harris and I sat in my room

From the other room, Mercy's voice came and went as she undressed and then dressed again

A servant gave me dinner and showed me to my room

The dining-room was long with windows overlooking the sea

A lady was standing by a window at the far end of the room, looking out

Mr Fairlie never leaves his room

This morning I'll be your only company for breakfast since my sister Laura is in her room with a headache

After breakfast, I went to see Mr Frederick Fairlie in his room

I left his room with a feeling of relief and spent the morning looking forward to my meeting with Miss Laura Fairlie

I started to follow her, but then Miss Halcombe called me, and I returned to the drawing-room

'I'll be satisfied with that,' he said gently, and left the room.

As I was walking to my room, I heard them talking.

I went to Laura's room and told her what I had heard

He left the room, went straight to his carriage, and drove away.

I told Laura the good news, then she went for a walk alone by the lake, and I went to my room

An hour later, she came to my room looking agitated.

He took her back to the house and shut her in her room

When I went to see her, I found the room was locked

I went to the drawing-room

'All right! Do what you want!' said Sir Percival, and he left the room.

'Lady Glyde will be released from her room.' Then, turning to me, he added, 'Let me express my sincere admiration for your courage.'

I went to Laura's room and found the door unlocked

When I left Laura's room and went downstairs, I saw Madame Fosco alone in the drawing-room

The Count replied, 'Later, when the ladies are asleep.' I said that I had a headache and went up to my room earlier than usual

During that time, Lady Glyde was so worried about her sister that she herself became ill and stayed in her room.

I then went to Lady Glyde's room to see how she was

She was still weak and depressed, and she asked me to take her to her sister's room

She's in the guest room on the second floor.'

2.) He was never alone in the room with her.

'When I woke up from my illness,' she said, 'I found myself in a strange room

The room was full of old papers

My foolish husband found the presents hidden in my room

Anne was in the room, and he told her to leave rather rudely

"I'll go and speak to her now.' She ran out of the room, and I waited, trembling

After a few minutes, Laura ran into the room and threw her arms around my neck

Pesca got up and walked around the room nervously

The servant showed me into the drawing-room where the Count was packing his bags
