Our guest , whose face was certainly very much flushed , shook her head . `` Oh , no , I 'm very comfortable , '' she said . But her voice had the effect of making us uncomfortable . There was a queer , uncertain little sound in it . Was Great-aunt Eliza laughing at us ? We looked at her sharply but her face was very solemn . Only her eyes had a suspicious appearance .
