Raisky saw dimly a figure about to spring down from the fence, and demanded who it was. "Sir, let me go, do not ruin me!" whispered a woman's voice. "Is it you, Marina, what are you doing here? "Gently, Sir. Don't call me by name. Savili will hear, and will beat me." "Off with you! No, stop. I have found you at the right moment. Can you bring some supper to my room?" "Anything, Sir.
Hearing a noise of falling water, and seeing dimly rocks all round me, I found it would not do to go forward in this direction, so, having unconsciously gone to the very edge of the lower cascade, where I must in all probability have been killed had I fallen over, I turned sharply up the hill again, going over the rocks above, and coming down again by a very steep place.
Her ghostly, dimly discerned face was so near his own that he could feel, now and again, her breath upon his forehead; but she was silent. As yet he did not repent of his cruelty. The impulse which dictated it had not spent itself. Nevertheless this suspense tried him. He grew impatient. "Damaris," he said, at last, "speak to me."
When they had reached the portal, whose deep archway was dimly lighted by a cresset, the stranger paused, and addressed the baron in a hollow tone of voice, which the vaulted roof rendered still more sepulchral. "Now that we are a lone," said he, "I will impart to you the reason of my going. I have a solemn, an indispensable engagement "

I now wished that I had not shaken the reefs out of the sail, but I could not venture to leave the helm to make any alteration. On flew the boat as before, the foaming seas rising up on either hand. I could but dimly distinguish the cliff. At length it was lost to sight. As I looked out on the larboard side, I fancied that I saw a line of white breakers, indicating a reef running off from it.
"But that's certainly the only thing to be done," Jack pointed out. "Perhaps two of us, with the rifles, could hold them " A flicker of light broke out below which was not a lantern, and approached the dimly disclosed brush-pile. Quick as a flash Jack's rifle went to his shoulder, and there was a reverberating crash.
Dirk's household improved somewhat. Dirk was the most intelligent of the fishermen, and began to dimly perceive that it was much better and pleasanter to live cleanly and neatly than to pattern his household arrangements after the beasts of the field.
