Pepper could not be easily deceived, and it was a relief to feel that he would know, and give me timely warning, if there were any danger. Reaching the place where I had shot that first creature, I stopped, and made a careful scrutiny; but could see nothing. From there, I went on to where the great copingstone had fallen.
And I have undertaken the most difficult task, at the command for in such a case the timorous suggestion, hooped round by poignant apologies, is no less than a command of that human creature whom, in the little island under the north star, he held most dear of all his wife, to set a copingstone, a mere nothing in the air, upon the last work that came from his pen.
In the moonlight, I could see the great copingstone, lying right across the threshold of the door. I thought I saw something under it several things, white; but I could not be sure. And so a few minutes passed. As I stared, I saw something come 'round, out of the shadow of the house. It was one of the Things. It went up to the stone, silently, and bent down. I was unable to see what it did.
I was anxious to see how the door had withstood the test of that last assault. Entering, I lit two of the candles, and then turned to the door. One of the large props had been displaced, and, on that side, the door had been forced inward some six inches. It was Providential that I had managed to drive the brutes away just when I did! And that copingstone!
Gregory's procedure was little less revolutionary than that of the King, but the claim to depose might appear as only a concomitant to the power already wielded by Popes in bestowing crowns, while for Gregory it had by this time become the copingstone in the fabric of those relations between Church and State which he and his party were building up.
It was evident that the creatures had not returned since the fall of the copingstone; but who was to say how long they would keep away? There and then, I set-to, at repairing the door working hard and anxiously. First, I went down to the basement, and, rummaging 'round, found several pieces of heavy oak planking.
