A strange white line of light told him where the sword was, and crossing the room on tiptoe, he seized the knob, and drew it slowly out of the sheath.
At this exclamation, Evandale, who, during the preceding part of the scene, had stood motionless, leaning upon his sword, now stepped forward, and said to his commanding-officer, "Colonel Grahame, before proceeding in this matter, will you speak a word with me in private?"

"Gracious, no!" he said; "they are too wild." I calmed myself for sleep when like lightning, one of the huge creatures gave a flying leap in at our window, across the bed, and through into the living-room.
