The second or third time he did so, he felt a sudden agony in his arm, where it had been wounded by Krag. His eyes grew joyful; his fears vanished; and he began deliberately to tread the stream. Leehallfae stroked aer chin and watched him with screwed-up eyes, trying to comprehend what had happened. "Is your luck speaking to you, Maskull, or what is the matter?" "Listen.
"Decide what you're going to do," said Maskull with a touch of contempt, "for I'm going in at once." The phaen gave an odd, meditative stare down the ravine, and after that walked into the cavern without another word. Maskull, scratching his head, followed close at aer heels. The moment they stepped across the bubbling spring, the atmosphere altered.
The frame appeared active, vigorous, and healthy, the skin was clear and glowing; the eyes were powerful and alert ae might well be in early youth. Nevertheless, the longer Maskull gazed, the more an impression of unbelievable ancientness came upon him aer real youth seemed as far away as the view observed through a reversed telescope.
The lower halls were deserted, and she had little difficulty in making her way unseen to the door that led to the basement.

Then Arthur rose up, and the warriors of the Islands of Britain with him, to seek for Eidoel; and they proceeded until they came before the castle of Glivi, where Eidoel was imprisoned.
A smell of death is being wafted to me out of this hole." "You talk like a frightened man. I smell nothing." "I am not frightened," said Leehallfae quietly ae had been gradually recovering aer tranquillity "but when one has lived as long as I have, it is a serious matter to die.
