It was for the most part bleak, dreary moor, such as, under the cold gray wintry sky, presented nothing to rouse him from his musings on the welcome he might have been at that very moment receiving at Hollywell. A sudden, dip in the high ground made it necessary for the coach to put on the drag, and thus it slowly entered a village, which attracted attention from its wretched appearance.
"What is't?" he said, startled by her white face and troubled eyes. "The two of them," she said, "have gone out on to the moor in this mist. It isn't safe." "Whatever for?" he asked. "How should I know? She went out first and now he's after her. 'Tisn't safe, Jim. You'd best follow them." He didn't argue with her, being an obedient husband disciplined by many years of matrimony.
Now the history saith, God had given such grace to my Cid that never Moor beheld his face without having great fear of him; and this Ximen began to gaze upon his countenance, and said nothing, for he could not speak. And so great was the fear which came upon him that the Cid perceived it, and bade him take courage and deliver the bidding of his Lord, without fear or shame, for he was a messenger.
He fought the shapes down, but the sea in storm then turned sluggish, dead and weary.... What was he going to do? Scotland? Was he going back to Scotland?

Whatever the indigenous Berber of the Atlas may be, the northern Moor has never been a mere barbarian, and Spain owes much to his culture and industry. He certainly used to have a bizarre conception of international amenities, and got himself very much disliked in the Mediterranean and even northern waters in consequence.
Connected with the bashas and kaids, who are the only great men in the country or in the cities, there is little or no respect or formality. The basha was inside the cool mosque, praying, at the hottest time of the day; outside a few people collected, though the same event happened every Friday. No Moor is ever busy, ever hurries, but can always wait.
The Poor Boy walked and walked, further and further, through many a rich country, till he came to a moor on which no grass grew and no water flowed. Here he stopped and pulled out his three loaves. He began with the one made of meal, because it was the handsomest, and as he ate it his strength increased and his thirst was quenched.
"Yes, father, coming galloping back along the road, and yes, I can see them too, a great regiment of the other side galloping after them, and you can see more soldiers off on the moor." "Coming this way?" "No; going right off behind the wood." "To cut them off," cried the landlord.
