All was ready for a start and Nick gave a wide, comprehensive glance around.
Is the danger close and drear, is the ship upon the reef, then some one pours for me wine! Some one, do I say? I know Whom!" I began to speak of the Adelantado. "Aye, there he is the same! 'Peril darkness? Well, let's meet it! We are alike, we three brothers, alike and different. Diego serves God best in a monastery, and I serve best in a ship with a book and a map to be followed and bettered.
And, as I did look, it grew very plain upon me how great was the spread and drear wideness of that Country of Night; and how that I did be an utter lonesome person in all that dark. And so shall you be with me in sympathy of the utter greatness of my task, and know of the fear that did breed, odd whiles, that I should search until I die, and never find.

She was suffering as she invariably did every time she gave the lover's gift to Killigrew; and always she paid for the joy of yielding with hours of reaction.

But quick as thought she seized her opportunity.

Again came December, and all our drear sunless gloom, made worse by the fact that the windmill would not work, leaving us without the electric light.
