The Butler trimmed the wick, and put another log on the fire as well, and then listened carefully at the hall door before helping himself to a handful of leaf from the smoking stand. He had hardly replaced the lid when the handle of the other door turned,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], making him jump nervously. Lyra tried not to laugh. The Butler hastily stuffed the leaf into his pocket and turned to face the incomer.
"Lord Asriel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]!" he said, and a shiver of cold surprise ran down Lyra's back. She couldn't see him from where she was,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and she tried to smother the urge to move and look.
"Good evening,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Wren," said Lord Asriel. Lyra always heard that harsh voice with a mixture of pleasure and apprehension. "I arrived too late to dine. I'll wait in here."
The Butler looked uncomfortable. Guests entered the Retiring Room at the Master's invitation only, and Lord Asriel knew that; but the Butler also saw Lord Asriel looking pointedly at the bulge in his pocket, and decided not to protest.
"Shall I let the Master know you've arrived, my lord?"
"No harm in that. You might bring me some coffee."
"Very good, my lord."
The Butler bowed and hastened out, his daemon trotting submissively at his heels. Lyra's uncle moved across to the fire and stretched his arms high above his head, yawning like a lion. He was wearing traveling clothes. Lyra was reminded, as she always was when she saw him again, of how much he frightened her. There was no question now of creeping out unnoticed: she'd have to sit tight and hope.
