And why did she look like that? And he thought of the expression he had seen on her face as the tram slipped by, an expression surely of excitement; but also a furtive expression. Artois had seen Hermione in all her moods, and hers was a very changeful face. But never before had he seen her look furtive. Nor could he have conceived it possible that she could look so.
