"And what may that be?" eagerly demanded the last murderer. "What but the human heart itself?" said the dark-visaged stranger, with a portentous grin.
As he spoke, a dark-visaged savage drew his scalping-knife, and, with one stride, stood beside the trembling girl, who, during the consultation of the savages, had stood silently beside her captor listening intently to the words which she did not comprehend.
I, as you may suppose, would as lief have spared the life of a wolf, and the halters were already round their necks, when your dark-visaged Squire prayed me to attempt to gain a confession from them; and, sure enough, they told a marvellous tale: that Clarenham had placed them here to deliver you up to the enemy, whom they were to admit by a secret passage and that they would have done it, long since, save that you and your Squire not only discovered the passage, but showed such vigilance, and so frustrated all their plans, that they firmly believed that you held commerce with the foul fiend.

The foremost, a dark-visaged man with heavy jaw, and a black derby which he did not remove, fixed on Mr. Pyecroft a triumphant, domineering gaze. "Well, Preston," he said, "so we've landed you at last." Mr. Pyecroft, his left forefinger still keeping the place in "Wormwood," stared at the speaker in bewilderment. "Pardon me, sir, but I completely fail to understand what you are talking about."

He would awaken each morning feeling, as those who have passed through the ordeal say has to be experienced in order to have the faintest idea of what it is; his lips and throat were as dry as withered leaves; his brain seemed on fire, and his bloodshot eyes, gleaming out from his pale, emaciated face, appeared as though they might have belonged to one of Canada's dark-visaged aborigines in the savage state rather than to their present intellectual, though dissipated, owner.
