By means of the balcony and tree the man slowly raised himself until he was visible to Mrs Green. With a choking cry she made for the door and fumbled with the handle. Bailey thought swiftly and clutched a medicine bottle in either hand. One he flung, and it smashed against the acacia. Silently and deliberately, and keeping his bright eyes fixed on Bailey, the Malay clambered into the balcony.
I must say I thought I should be twenty-four hours in front of Hawke's men, but I expect they changed their plans. I brought Lily along with me at the last moment. She's read Gaboriau, too, sir, and she's mighty handy. 'I am aware of it, said Hugo. 'Anyhow, we got in here first, by the side-door on the balcony.

He ardently kissed the musky tresses, and by them quickly ascended. Then hand in hand within the chambers they Gracefully passed.

If she had been well, she would have gone straight along the balcony, to discover the cause of her alarm; but she was ill, and she shrank back in her chair, watching the pulsing dimness.

He came to the Bright House, and still he was singing. He sat and ate in the broad balcony, and the Chinaman wondered at his master, to hear how he sang between the mouthfuls.
"And if I tell you that myself with these eyes I saw you at the window of her room with her; if I tell you that I saw the rope ladder dangling from her balcony; if I tell you that crouching there after I had killed Samoval killed him, mark me, for saying that you and my wife betrayed me; killed him for telling me the filthy truth if I tell you that I heard her attempting to restrain you from going down to see what had happened if I tell you all this, will you still deny it, will you still lie?"
