From the pocket meadow came the answering squeals of their own mounts, the pounding of hoofs as they fought their stake ropes. "Don Cazar!" It was Teodoro. "The Pinto comes—and would fight!" Again that shriek of rage and utter defiance. The rocks echoed it eerily, and Drew found it hard to judge either distance or direction.
Just the same," she added, in a stage whisper, "I wouldn't mind having a couple of them myself." "Betty, Betty," Allen reproved her. "I thought " "Oh, Mollie, look there," cried Betty, pulling her friend towards her and indicating an indistinct shadowy bulk looming eerily before them. "Mollie, dear, that's the island, isn't it? I can't wait until I put my two feet on it."
While the boys huddled around Annie's camp fire and guzzled hot coffee and ate chilled sandwiches, Luck took some fine scenes of the phantom herd marching eerily along the skyline of a little slope. He "shot" every effective blizzard scene he had dreamed of so despairingly when the weather was fine.
While he listened, the wind wailed among the branches and the sloo grass rustled eerily. The patch of sky above him was growing darker, and the wood looked, inexpressibly dreary; but as the light was going, there was more reason for his making use of it.
"Men," broke in Parker, "I cannot expect to have friends here, and you may all be enemies, but I have come back, knowing that woodsmen are on the side of grit and fair dealing. Listen to me!"

His answering voice was almost audibly guilty, for the engagement had been allowed to fade from his mind, though his watchful secretary would have seen to it later that he kept his appointment. When he arrived, the house was eerily dark and deserted.
Marvels do not seem marvelous to men to live among them. I lay long awake on deck, watching the eerily lighted sea and the great stars that hung low in the sky, and to my fancy it seemed that the air had changed, that some breath from the isles before us had softened the salty tang of the sea-breeze. Land loomed at daybreak, dark, gloomy, and inhospitable.
I might have said, "Where is it?" for it did not seem in the room, nor in the house, nor in the garden, nor from overhead. And it was the voice of a human being a loved, well-remembered voice that of Edward Fairfax Rochester; and it spoke in pain and woe, wildly, eerily, urgently. "I am coming!" I cried. "Wait for me!" I ran out into the garden; it was void. "Down, superstition!"
