But there was one anxiety still to be relieved, before he lay down to rest. He took off his shoes, and stole upstairs to Carmina's door. The faithful Teresa was astir, earnestly persuading her to take some nourishment.

The Cavalry had been withdrawn to the camp there. A case of cholera had emptied Langney Fort. The Sea-Fencibles had run away. Black Diamond had swept up the blockademen. Darkness, darkness, everywhere. Kit stole to his side. "We must get a message through to Nelson," he chattered. "We must." The boy felt himself at war with destiny, and crushed by it.

Democracy and nature were the subjects mostly adopted by these English writers, and they appealed quite naturally to New World readers. As Lowell, at a later time, said of the Americans of this period: "They stole Englishmen's books and thought Englishmen's thoughts; With English salt on her tail, our wild Eagle was caught."

Dietel went down into the cellar again, but this time he was not to leave it so speedily, for the apprentice of a Nuremberg master shoemaker, whose employer was going to the Frankfort fair with his goods, and who made common cause with the feather dealer, stole after Dietel, and of his own volition, for his own pleasure, locked him in.

His lips moved, but scarce a sound travelled across the room. Kaid understood, and made a gesture. An instant afterwards the vast figure of Higli Pasha bulked into the room.

"Betty, dear, dearest," he cried, "I didn't know, I didn't dream, I thought you were just trying it on. I'm so sorry, dear, I am so sorry." She moaned softly, and he bent over her again more closely.
