| That was all of the incident, but he heard Ruth muffle a dry sob in her throat, and noticed that she turned her face away to gaze out of the window. When she turned it back to him, it was composed, and there was no hint of the gale in her eyes. | Dhat wuz aul uv dhy insudunt, but hy hurd Rooth muful u drie sob in hur throet, and noetusd dhat shy turnd hur faes uwae too gaez out uv dhu windoe.
