Then, ere evening, I shall have work for thee that shall complete what Pascherette begins. Command the minx to bring forth all her fascinations and allurements. Nay, friend, have no fear for thy sweetheart. I warrant thee she can care for herself, if she will. Go! It is my command!" Milo departed, and Dolores went out to the Grove, climbed nimbly to the cliff-top, and sat down to watch.
And while three anxious yachtsmen on the cliff-top waited for her return, a hundred and twenty hungry and thirsty baffled ruffians on the sloop cursed her vehemently in their hoarse, dry throats. On the level sward before the village the three yachtsmen paced back and forth in an ecstasy of apprehension.
Then we heard the voices again, but farther off, and not so loud; and knew that our pursuers had left the under-cliff and turned down on to the beach, thinking that we were hiding by the sea. Five minutes later Elzevir stepped on to the cliff-top, with me upon his back. 'We have made something of this throw, he said, 'and are safe for another hour, though I thought thy giddy head had ruined us.
Elzevir stood with the lanthorn in his hand, looking at Maskew with a fixed gaze, and we could hear the hoofs of the heavy-laden horses beating up the path, till they turned a corner, and all was still. The silence was broken by Maskew: 'Unloose me, villain, and let me go. I am a magistrate of the county, and if you do not, I will have you gibbeted on this cliff-top.
The only possible right thing to do is steep and difficult; but we must climb. We must mount above our lower selves; away from this narrowing strip of dangerous sand; away from this cruel sea of fierce temptation; up to the breezy cliff-top, up to the blue above, into the open of honour and right and perfect purity. You stood there, until now; you stood there brave and beautiful.
When she was too weak to hold her baby in her arms he bade her 'die, and make way for a better woman. And one night he lured her to the cliff-top, and then and there he quarreled with her; and men think yes, and women think so too that he threw the child into the water, and that Nanna leaped after it. That was the story in every one's mouth." "Was it true? Tell me that."
Of my Maenad tramp along the cliff-top with my brain afire, and my return, draggled and dripping, an hour late for dinner; of my writing and re-writing, of my tears and black depression, of the pens I wore out and the quires of paper I spoiled, and finally of the ecstasy of the day when the piece began to move and the characters to live, I need not speak.
I have not heard so many sound observes in a long time." And with that Janet came to the cliff-top and called to them to hurry. "Step out!" she cried, "here is Jamie Logan with a pocket full of great news; and the fish is frying itself black, while you two are daundering, as if it was your very business and duty to keep hungry folk waiting their dinner for you."
With a great throb of joy in his heart the gallant young fellow saw the beast turn, and, leaving Pauline with her arms around the limb, her eyes shut against the dizzy depths below, move back and scramble down. Blount was on the cliff-top as the gorilla reached the ground. The beast charged. Blount fired again.
Then above us presently there was silence and the drab empty sky. Our tower was back beyond the cliff-top. Soon it appeared; apparently unharmed, it came dropping down to its former place on the ground. The first attack was over. And off in the distance a few solitary figures were winging their way back to the City of Ice. City of Ice Besieged
