Wyat advanced to the edge of the terrace and looked over the parapet, but he could see nothing except the tops of the tall trees springing from the side of the moat. Flying to the sentinel, he inquired whether any one had passed him, but the man returned an angry denial. Awestricken and agitated, Wyat quitted the terrace, and, seeking his steed, mounted him, and galloped into the forest.
At our left, crowning the hill, a big house, a mansion with towers and turrets, rose above the trees. Hephzy whispered to me. "You don't suppose THAT is the rectory, do you, Hosy?" she asked, in an awestricken tone. "If it is we may as well go back to London," I answered. "But it isn't. Nothing lower in churchly rank than a bishop could keep up that establishment."
During the day they should guard the priestess, because, having taken human form, she might some day tire of this particular temple. At night she would be well guarded by the lion. Several awestricken women came forward with bowls of cooked rice and fruits and a new copper drinking vessel. These they reverently placed at Kathlyn's feet.
Suddenly a lion near them raised a shaggy head, emitting a series of undulating, soul-shaking roars. "Ah, what's eatin' you?" demanded a thick-necked youth, pretending not to be awestricken by this demonstration. "Suppose he'd get out!" cried Eda, drawing Janet away. "I wouldn't let him hurt you, dearie," the young man assured her.
Just listen!" and bending forward, the boy proved the truth of his words as an ominous crack sounded, and Winnie's dismayed eye caught the glimpse of a tiny hole in one of the back seams. "Be careful," she cried in an awestricken voice; "there is a split, and you'll make it worse if you wriggle about so. Be a good boy, Dickie, and try to prove agreeable to every one."
"Was ye an officer a navy officer, Thirkle?" he asked, somewhat awestricken at the idea. "We had a little chat, Mr. Buckrow and myself, while you were away," said Thirkle, after he had had his drink. "Real chummy we got." "Ho, yes; real chummy, Thirkle!
And now the son's married a girl that had everything but money my boy, Nellie Wemple has fairly got that family of Nesbits awestricken since she married into it, just by the way she can spend money but what was I saying, old chap? Oh, yes, about getting in it takes time, you know; on my word, I think they were as much as eight years, and had to start in abroad at that.
And I held it up so that Lomalindela might see the reflection of his own visage in it. He took it doubtingly and hesitatingly in his hand for there is nothing a South African savage dreads so much as magic or witchcraft and a low, awestricken ejaculation of "Au!" escaped him at what he beheld. "And that is not all," I continued.
"Cousin Katherine, dear Cousin Katherine," she called very gently, under her breath, and then waited almost awestricken, sensible, to the point of distress, alike of the profound quiet, which it seemed as an act of profanity to have even assayed to break, and of the malign activity of those little, scriptural figures anticking so wildly in the chimney-space and on the hearth.
"Give yourself no concern, Miss Glen," he said loftily; "I shall not betray you." "What! You won't tell him?" with a perfect assumption of profound amazement. "I will not," sternly. "But they say I heard you are to be court-martialled." Her voice sank to a low whisper, as if she were awestricken by the heavy tidings. "I am." "And that you will be found guilty " "I shall be."
