At length he became angry at himself and stalked up and down the floor, and wanted to be sensible. There was a love, pure and noble, without any coarse, earthly passion; yes, there was, and if there was not, there was going to be one. Passion spoiled everything, and it was very ugly and unhuman. How he hated everything in human nature that was not tender and pure, fine and gentle!
His whole appearance was stamped with the mark of cold and hunger. He stalked deliberately at Razumov's elbow with his eyes on the ground. "It's an official statement," he continued in the same cautious mutter. "It may be a lie. But there was somebody arrested between midnight and one in the morning on Tuesday. This is certain."
Suddenly Beverly gave a shout, and we saw Little Blue Flower running swiftly from the sloping side of the bluff toward the camp. Behind her stalked the young New-Englander. "I went up to see what she was in such a hurry for to see," he explained, simply.
Stiffly Hill turned to the girl beside him. "Would you rather go back and wait for me?" he said. "Oh, no!" she said, instantly. "No; I am coming too." He said no more, but grimly stalked in the wake of Warden. The latter moved quickly till he reached the place where the lamp was lodged in a niche in the wall.
And he stalked into his dressing-room and shut the door on himself. "Daddy minds more than you do," said Frances. At that Nicky sat up. His eyes glittered and his cheeks burned with the fever of his earache. "I don't mind," he said. "Really and truly I don't mind. I don't care if my ear does ache. "It's my eyes is crying, not me."
Of the property of the accused, a third went to the informer, the rest to the state. Then abruptly terror stalked abroad. No one was safe except the obscure, and it was the obscure that accused. Once an accused accused his accuser; the latter went mad. There was but one refuge the tomb.
The ice groaned and cracked as usual, but within the heavy timbers of the Fram there was peace. The night came, long, dark, and silent. Polar bears stalked outside and were often shot. Before it became quite dark Nansen tried the dogs at drawing sledges. They were harnessed, but when he took his seat, off they went in the wildest career.
Still they may be tired of that now, and glad enough to pretend to be German spies with us pursuing them. It must be just as good sport for them trying to escape as it is for us trying to catch them. I daresay it's even better, being stalked unwaveringly by a subtle foe ought to give them a delicious creepy feeling down the back. Anyhow we'll track them down.
"Betty, I despair of you ever caring for me!" and as Norton turned abruptly away he saw Tom Ware appear from about a corner of the house. "Oh, hang it, there's Tom!" "You are very nice, anyway, Charley " said Betty hurriedly, fortified by the planter's approach. Ware stalked toward them. Having dined with Betty as recently as the day before, he contented himself with a nod in her direction.
Once lower down, and near the elevation of the smoke at the cañon side, concealment was much easier, and from this point they stalked the hidden fugitive much as they would have done with a big-game animal had they been pursuing it. They paused at last at the rim of a shelving rock which projected out at the top of the cañon wall.
