Impasse des deux Anges

Under Foot it went, and down into the Earth, and there descended, Dame Musset still pacing and thinking of a Girl’s Eye
from which she had skimmed the Milk of Love, and whether she should again promenade the Impasse des deux Anges, and trust to the Bed-airing instincts of the said Girl, to bring her in Mob-cap, and all June of Bosom to the utter third-storey Window left, from which point of Vantage Dame Musset had first seen her winking a House-wife’s Eye at the little Scullion in the Pantry Window opposite, from whom the Bed-airer had removed her Wiles and Ways for a short yet thrifty Glance in the direction of Musset, —or should she not? (Barnes 63)
