"No; Regulas Rothsay has not an enemy in the world!" "Will he be killed on the railroad, or kidnapped?" "No!" "Will he be taken suddenly ill?" "No!" "What then in the fiend's name is to prevent his taking his seat to-morrow?" impatiently demanded the manager. "An evil so dire, so awful, so mysterious, that its like never happened on this earth!"

But even as he gibed at me, leaning over the brink, dead Alvaro's ice-cold hand guided my petronel till it covered the black fiend's body, and the iron ball struck full and true below his throat. Down at my feet hurtled the body, and at the report I could hear the dwarfs shriek and fly away from the spot in fear.
