You know, I suppose, that we've got the fellow in a cleft stick about that petition the other day?
The associations of the place are marked by the use of the definite article, which is missed in the Authorised Version, 'the cave, that same cleft in the rock where Moses had stood.
The operatives were undoubtedly expecting trouble from all quarters, for three other large men of the "bull" type, heavy-jowled, ponderous men, surrounded him as he presented his card. "I am the friend of Howard Van Cleft, about whom Captain Cronin telephoned you from Bellevue. I am to help him interview the girl: may I wait until he arrives?" "Oh, you're wise to the case?

Fox brought him past the reef of rock aforesaid, and up a narrow cleft of the cliffs overlooking the sea, whereby they came into a little grass-grown meadow well nigh round in shape, as smooth and level as a hall-floor, and fenced about by a wall of rock: a place which had once been the mouth of an earth-fire, and a cauldron of molten stone.

The ground we selected was almost at the foot of a noble waterfall, formed by a huge cleft in a mass of rugged rock.
