Now beholding this silent figure, a groan of fear went up, divers men sank crouching on their knees, the Reeve uttered a hoarse gasp and covered his face, while even Beltane, staring wide-eyed, felt his flesh a-creep. But now Sir Robert rode forward: "Greeting, lord Seneschal!" said he, "you come betimes, messire, though not over hastily, methinks!"
Now looking upon this monstrous creature that writhed and struggled mightily with his captors, groaning and roaring betimes, Beltane felt his flesh a-creep with swift and pregnant memory, and straightway beset the witch with fierce question: "Woman, what thing is this?"
Now as he peered upward through the gloom, came the wind, colder, stronger than before a chill and ghostly wind that flapped the heavy folds of his mantle, that sighed forlornly in the woods afar, and softly smote the misty, jingling thing above swayed it swung it out from the denser shadows of scowling battlement so that Beltane could see at last, and seeing started back faint and sick, his flesh a-creep, his breath in check 'twixt pale and rigid lips.
Quickly there took shape in the imagination of the little Irishman a hideous vision of mortal Fear, wild-eyed, white-lipped, and all a-tremble, skulking in panic only a little beyond his reach: a fancy that so worked upon his nerves that he himself seemed infected with its shuddering dread, and thought to feel the fine hairs a-crawl on his neck and scalp and his flesh a-creep.
