He was thoughtful about the alacrity of Warren to dine with him. There was more to this assumed friendliness than the mere desire to talk to him. "I wonder if he wants to keep me occupied for some certain reason?" pondered the club man. "Helene is protected now by a silent watcher. The members of the Lobster Club are all out of the city. Van Cleft is safe on the ocean. They must be laying a trap.
"At about one yard and a half distant from the hole in which the foot of the cross was fixed is seen that memorable cleft in the rock, said to have been made by the earthquake which happened at the suffering of the God of nature; when, as St. Matthew witnesseth, the rocks rent and the very graves were opened.
It was certainly the most romantic scene I had ever beheld. Looking down into the deep cleft below me, at the bottom of which ran a turbulent stream, I saw the narrow road along which our carriage was to pass. And then suddenly I emerged in full sight of the Mediterranean, with the calm blue heavens resting over the deep blue sea.
She urged me to take the setter, and I saw the advantage in having a good dog with me on such a search; any cleft, or thicket, or sprinkle of boulders, might easily conceal a man's body from one passing only a few feet off but, much as he favored me, he was not to be coaxed far from his mistress; so I suggested she should go, too.
I have worshipped at many such shrines where the water bounds forth, a living joy, out of the rocky cleft unlike those sluggish springs of the North that ooze regretfully upwards, as though ready to slink home again unless they were kicked from behind, and then trickle along, with barely perceptible movement, amid weeds and slime. It is not an ordinary rill; it has medicinal properties.
As to its identity there was no doubt, since on, or rather from, its right horn, which was cleft apart at the top, hung the remains of Umbezi's moocha. "Oh, beware, Inkoosi," cried Saduko in a frightened voice. "It is the buffalo with the cleft horn!" I heard him; I saw. All the scene in the hut of Zikali rose before me the old dwarf, his words, everything.
The water was low, and the cleft therefore enlarged, so that he saw at once that now was the time for making his fire now when there was the freest access for the air. Yet he could not help pausing to admire what he saw. He could see now a long strip of the fiord, a perspective of waters and of shores, ending in a lofty peak still capped with snow, and glittering in the sunlight.
On the E. inner slope are some fine terraces and several craters. The continuity of the circumvallation is broken on the N. by a great ring-plain, on the floor of which I have seen a prominent cleft and a crater near the S. side. There is a large bright crater in the interior of Purbach, S. of the centre, two others on the W. half of the floor, and a few ridges.
So none gave back a foot, and fierce was the fight about the wedge-array; and the men of Otter but there was no Otter there, and many another man was gone, and Arinbiorn the Old led them these stormed on so fiercely that they cleft their way through all and joined themselves to their kindred, and the battle was renewed in the Wolfing meadow.
Monte Adamello and the Ortler, the cleft of the Brenner, and the sharp peaks of the Venetian Alps are all distinctly visible. An eagle flying straight from our eyrie might traverse Lombardy and light among the snow-fields of the Valtelline between sunrise and sundown. Nor is the prospect tame to southward.
