They advanced in Indian file, moving with the utmost care, and crouching in the murky shadows like so many wild beasts stalking their prey. "Robert!" she screamed. "The Dyaks! On your left!" But Iris was rapidly gaining some knowledge of strategy. Before she shrieked her warning she grasped a rifle.
The knight's great aims and constant mishaps, his chivalrous valiancy exercised on absurd objects, his good sense along the highroad of the craziest of expeditions; the compassion he plucks out of derision, and the admirable figure he preserves while stalking through the frantically grotesque and burlesque assailing him, are in the loftiest moods of humour, fusing the Tragic sentiment with the Comic narrative.

I was to leave it there, that's all," growled Joe, stalking to her breakfast fire and resuming her operations there.
