We'll make something out of him no matter which way you put it." "Make something out of what?" Joyce bent forward and real horror filled her eyes. Was even the security of Jude to be wrenched from her? "Out of Myst. He's got money, It comes in letters checks. Tate has ways of finding out. Myst. has a fat account over to Hillcrest. He thought we took him on trust. We knowed what we wanted to know."
John Knox records of those memorable days: 'The very face of heaven did manifestlie speak what comfort was brought to this country with hir to wit, sorrow, dolour, darkness and all impiety for in the memorie of man never was seen a more dolorous face of the heavens than was seen at her arryvall... the myst was so thick that skairse micht onie man espy another; and the sun was not seyn to shyne two days befoir nor two days after.
He looked honest and competent, a solid quiet man with a craggy face and the deep-set eyes of a Mystic. His skin had the typical thickness and pore prominence of the dwellers on that foggy world from which he came. But unlike the natives of Myst, his skin was burned a dark brown by Kardon's sun.
"On ne peut douter," says Ste. Croix, "que l'introduction des fêtes de Bacchus en Italie n'ait accéleré les progrès du libertinage et de la débauche dans cette contrée." Myst. du Pag., tom. ii. p. 91. St. But even he does not deny that the motive with which they were performed was of a religious, or at least superstitious nature "Sic videlicet Liber deus placandus fuerat."

The ringing laughter struck through his brutality and hurt something in him that was akin to paternal love; but so long had that protecting tenderness been ignored by Jared, that now when it was called upon to act, it did so in a savage rage. "By heaven!" he thundered, "I catch your drift, you young divil. And if that Myst. ain't a slick one!
I'm willing to go so far as to say I don't want the dust of my past raised I'm actually willing to sacrifice anything." "Even me!" The words were a moan of fear and misery. "Sure!" Jared did not catch the point. "This is an opportunity that don't come often. Retribution for Myst., by thunder, and clear gain for me and you! Out beyond the high trees, girl, there's better diggings for us.
Then the soul spoke merrily as he looked through the window. "There is a mountain lifting sheer above London, part crystal and part myst. Thither the dreamers go when the sound of the traffic has fallen. At first they scarcely dream because of the roar of it, but before midnight it stops, and turns, and ebbs with all its wrecks.
While the rebel host raged on the other side, and any traitor might have brought the enemy round to intercept that slow and painful descent, it was accomplished safely under cover of "a great myst," Heaven, as all thought, helping the forlorn fugitives by that natural shield.
