The girl's danger increased every moment, and she felt it her duty to go and warn her, and give her what help she could. So with trembling limbs and fast-beating heart she hurried as fast as she was able down the side of the cliff. The path, though, was rough and winding, and she was old. At one point the end of the beach where the girl sat was cut off from her view.
"Shall I get into bed, papa?" she asked tremulously, when she had finished. "No, not yet. Come here." She went and stood at his side, with drooping head and fast-beating heart, her eyes on the carpet, for she dared not look in his face. He seemed to have found the passage he sought; and, keeping the book open with his left hand, he turned to her as she stood at his right.
He held her very-lightly there with arms that ached to strain her close against his fast-beating heart. After a moment she asked, tremulously: "You tore up the note?" "Yes," he answered. He felt a sigh quiver through her. "I'm glad," she whispered. Of a sudden she struggled free, pushing him away with her outstretched arms. "You must stand there," she said, in laughing whispers.
His hand flash-lamp showed him the rough path to the terrace. With fast-beating heart he ran down it, unmindful of the unprotected edge or the sheer drop to the rocks of New Hope River, far below. Bremilu and Zangamon, seeing perfectly in the gloom, hurried close behind, with words of awe, wonder and admiration in their own tongue. "Beta! Oh, Beatrice! Home again!" Stern shouted triumphantly.
There was no definite hope in her mind as she did so, but she came back more slowly, nevertheless. No letter for her. But at eleven o'clock a messenger boy appeared with a special delivery letter for Miss Susan Brown, she signed the little book with a sensation that was almost fear. This this was beginning to frighten her Susan read it with a fast-beating heart. It was short, dignified. Mr.
He was their only hope now, but he must come soon or it would be too late, they felt sure. It was not long, however, before this avenue of escape was almost cut off. With white faces, and fast-beating hearts they saw the fire sweeping along the shore of the mainland straight for the small boat.
He laid his bicycle at the side of the road and advanced with fast-beating heart. "How many of you scouts told Mr. Wall you were going on this trip?" he demanded. "Wasn't necessary," Tim answered promptly. "Mr. Wall didn't say we couldn't go." "Mr. Wall didn't expect that any scout would go." "How do you know what Mr. Wall expected? Did he tell you?" It was a losing argument.
Wull ye coom doon to the library, Miss Warne, when ye're ready? 'Tis the door at the right o' the front entrance. The door on the left is the waitin' room, an' the Doctor does na' keep office hours at nicht." With a fast-beating heart Georgiana set about making ready for that descent to the library. The whole affair was becoming more and more a strain upon her nerves.
"I don't see why you should be delayed," Margaret said, glad to be able to speak normally, with such a fast-beating and pleasantly excited heart. "I'm sure Dorothy's all right." "Oh, I'd rather wait. I like my company," said the other. And Margaret decided in that instant that there never was a more deservedly admired and copied and quoted woman.
One thing after another! Why were these clouds gathering so thick over her dear father's head? It did not seem possible that he could be kept in ignorance much longer. It was sure to be revealed through this last trouble. A sound fell upon her ears which made her look quickly up. Was it the wind? She listened with fast-beating heart. Again it came a pathetic whinny out in the yard.
