The extreme delicacy of the signal was at least an excuse for Harry to perceive nothing.
This done, Teddy felt secure from a fall. He worked his way slowly upward, creeping higher and higher, inch by inch, cautious but not in the least afraid, for Teddy was used to being high in the air. Now and then he would pause to call down to the anxious Billy. "Stand under to be ready to catch me if I fall," directed Tucker. "Not much. You hit ground if you fall," jeered Conley.
The Countess went to shake her brother's hand, and with a very gratulatory visage, said through her half-shut teeth.
