Her son and her doctor had insisted on her resigning her situation at once; and they would not even allow her to go back until her place could be supplied. "Poor thing!" said Lady Jane. "I always thought it was too much for her.
The green dwarf leaped toward it, thrust us within, pushed us ahead of him up a steep rocky fissure well-nigh, indeed, a chimney. Up and up this we scrambled until my lungs were bursting and I thought I could climb no more. The crevice ended; we crawled out and sank, even Rador, upon a little leaf-carpeted clearing circled by lacy tree ferns.
