While I stood conning her, up at the house the back-door opened, and my brother stepped out and across the yard to milk the cows. His milk-pails struck against the door-post, and sounded as clear as bells. I shouted to him and pointed towards the boat: and after looking a moment, he set down his pails and started off at a run, down towards the porth.
Toole the joke and the chuckle with which he had just requited the fat old barmaid still ringing in the passage 'Stay there, sweetheart, addressed to a dog squeezing by him, and which screeched out as he kicked it neatly round the door-post.
The fierce bolt, slightly barbed, had gone through it and deep into the real door-post. "Two," said Denys, with terrible cynicism. He strung his crossbow, and kneeled behind his cover again.

He came a step nearer and she could see the faint whiteness of his face in the western glimmer.
With this she hurried back; and fixing one end firmly round the door-post, she looped the other in a slip-knot, and lowered it carefully to Richard. "Put this beneath your arms," she said; "the rope is strong and firmly fastened. You must climb up by it, hand over hand."
