"Bajan, ninas, bajan! aprisa, aprisa!" The ladders rest upon the upper terraces. The girls cannot move them. Their late masters stand beside them, frowning and silent. "Lay holt thar!" cries Garey, again threatening with his piece; "lay holt, and help the gals down, or I'll fetch some o' yerselves a-tumblin' over!" "Lay holt! lay holt!" shouted several others in a breath.
All I know is that I got a note from your father. But that won't make me let you go." She clung desperately to the Bajan woman as if afraid to trust herself near him. "Wait wait," she said, "until you have heard it all." Never had she appeared so beautiful as now, with her face white, her bosom heaving, as the half-light dimly revealed.
Outside, and barely revealed, stood the tall, gaunt Bajan woman, silent, watchful, and forbidding.

"Adios, Senor Antonio," came the girl's mischievous voice, and as he strode down the path he carried with him the memory of a perfect oval face smiling at him past the tragic figure of the Bajan woman.
"Are you sure?" "There is no doubt, sar. Her name is Garavel, and she h'occupies the big 'ouse on the 'ill. I discovered those h'impartant facts from the Bajan 'ooman." "Stephanie! You saw her? By Jove! Then you are right this time. Quick! tell me all you learned."
