We gazed for a moment astonished, forgetting our own miseries in this extraordinary and, as it seemed to us, semi-miraculous sight. "Ay," said Sir Henry, "and this is where he got his ink from," and he pointed to a small wound on the Dom's left arm. "Did ever man see such a thing before?" There was no longer any doubt about the matter, which for my own part I confess perfectly appalled me.
If you don't you'll have to take the consequences." "And we warn you to keep off. If you don't we'll shoot at you," was the somewhat surprising response. "No, no; please don't shoot at them!" came in Dom's voice. "I beg of you not to shoot!" She had escaped from Mrs. Goss' custody and now ranged up alongside of Dan Baxter and her other enemies who were handling the Flyaway.
At the edge of this vast hole, which was none other than the pit marked on the old Dom's map, the Great Road branched into two and circumvented it. In many places, by the way, this surrounding road was built entirely out of blocks of stone, apparently with the object of supporting the edges of the pit and preventing falls of reef.
"If we can trust to the old Dom's map there should be some about," I said; but nobody seemed to derive much satisfaction from this remark. It was so evident that no great faith could be put in the map. Now it was gradually growing light, and as we sat staring blankly at each other, I observed the Hottentot Ventvögel rise and begin to walk about with his eyes on the ground.
He stepped aside quickly as some bits of bark and a small bough of hemlock fell at our feet. Then a shower of pine needles came slowly down, scattering over us and hitting the timber with a faint hiss. Before we could look up, a dry stick as long as a log fell rattling on the platform. "Never see no sech dom's afore," said D'ri, looking upward.
"Well, then, if I cannot have you with me I want you actively against me the more balls in the air, the better sport for the juggler. And at least we understand each other." "There is just the one question perhaps an obvious one." "Yes." "Boris or Ulick? For of course you know which of them is to be the old Dom's heir." "I do."
