"All the more chance of trapping him." "I'm not so sure of that. The entrance to the cave is some sixty feet from the ground, in the side of a steep cliff." "Well, we've had some experience in mountain-climbing." "Yes, but not this sort. The face of the cliff is as perpendicular as the side of a house." "The other fellows got up."
Cliff was decidedly of the opinion that they all ought to have breakfast, and that she and Willy could at least make coffee, and serve the passengers with bread and butter and preserved meats, but she remarked to Mr. Hodgson that perhaps the gentlemen would rather go to their hotels and get their breakfast. "No indeed," said Mr.
Cyrus Harding's first care was to find out the position of the front of Granite House from the outside. He went to the beach, and as the pickaxe when it escaped from the hands of the reporter must have fallen perpendicularly to the foot of the cliff, the finding it would be sufficient to show the place where the hole had been pierced in the granite.
Its obscure ridge was silhouetted against the sky like a crouching monster toying with a swarm of stars between its paws. The vessel rounded Europa Point and the lights disappeared. Now the cliff was visible from its Eastern face, black, imposing, bare, with no other light than that of the lighthouse at its extreme end.
"It does not alarm you?" "No." "It is all the same to you if I go to Devil's Cliff?" "I will conduct you there, myself." "Yourself?" "To-day." "And I shall see Blue Beard?" "You shall see her as often as you wish."
I do mort'ly hate that fellow sets fire to the place, and burns 'em out. Makes me feel as if I could half forgive him all old scores. My pick! It was a fine idea." "A grand idea, Dan." "And don't you see, Master Mark, as they missed getting Cliff Castle, they'll just wait their time, and catch us napping, and get this place." "Never," cried Mark hotly. "Never, it is, Master Mark.
"Monsieur Emile is she is Madre ill?" She began to tremble once more, as she had trembled when she came to fetch Gaspare from the nook of the cliff beside the Saint's Pool. "Not as you mean, Vere." "You are sure? You are certain?" "Not in that way." "But then I heard Madre come out and go to her bedroom. I didn't hear whether she locked the door. I only heard it shut.
Cliff, "that he would have telegraphed to you if he had known where you were!" "I hope so," said Burke. "And when he had told Shirley all that had happened, he asked him to pull up stakes, and sail by the first steamer he could catch for Jamaica.
We have already looked for it, but not seriously; and besides, there are many boulders that have fallen, and formed a bank at the foot of the cliff." "Well, we shall know in a few hours. I feel absolutely certain that the line between those two sticks will lead us to it." None attempted to sleep, and as soon as it became light they took picks and shovels and started up the valley.
Some time after they had begun this work, a young man, who was a cripple, and therefore a non-combatant, hobbled into the hall, and announced the fact that Haldor's fleet was routed everywhere, and fleeing. He had seen it from the cliff behind the stede, and indeed it could partly be seen from the hall window.
