"Just take a look down with your glasses and see if they see us. I expect they do by this time." Colston put his field-glass to his eyes, and looked down at the fortress, which was now only six or seven miles ahead. "Yes," he said, "at any rate I can see a lot of little figures running about on the roof of one of the ramparts, which I suppose are soldiers. What's the range of your gun?
Twenty minutes' walk took Arnold and Colston to the door of the tenement-house in which the former had lived since his fast-dwindling store of money had convinced him of the necessity of bringing his expenses down to the lowest possible limit if he wished to keep up the struggle with fate very much longer. As they mounted the dirty, evil-smelling staircase, Colston said "Phew!
Colston! It would be dangerous for me to draw that contrast; a person who did not know the fact would scarcely believe that two dignified clergymen of the same diocese, that two doctors of divinity, could form two such opposite characters.
Colston turned suddenly and looked him squarely in the eyes as they walked. "You would not dare you have not the courage," he said. He emphasized the words with a contemptuous gesture.

Radna answered with an almost imperceptible sign of consent, and Colston went on: "If it were in an utterly opposite direction" "You would not be asked to come, sir.
There was no hint of contrition; he spoke with optimistic cheerfulness. "Of course," Colston agreed. "I wonder if I might say that you have grown more Canadian than I expected to find you?" "More Canadian?" Prescott checked himself in time and laughed. "Is it surprising? You drive and starve out many a good man who dares to be original I've met a number of them.
Still the Cossacks gained on them yard by yard, till at the end of the fourth mile they were less than three hundred yards behind. Then Colston leant over the back of the sleigh, and taking the best aim he could, sent half a dozen shots among them.
What would there be to prevent me telling the police who you are, and having you locked up with a view to extradition to Russia?" "In the first place," replied Colston quietly, "you would not do so, because I am not mistaken in you, and because, in your heart, whether you fully know it or not, you believe as I do about the destruction that is about to fall upon Society.
