text_original: The twilight of a summer evening settled on the dingy room. Mary paced the floor, after crowding all her flowers on to the centre table, and opening the two windows wide to let in the sultry evening air. When she neared the window she listened intently for the sound of cab  wheels, or for that of on  coming footsteps. Yes, there were foot  steps — footsteps coming to the door.
