"An excellent idea," put in the cavaliere, before she could speak. "With me, marchesa with me" he added, looking at her deprecatingly. Trenta loved Enrica better than any thing in the world, but carefully concealed it, the better to serve her with her aunt. "As for me, I am ready for any thing." And, to show his agility, he rose, and, with the help of his stick, made a glissade on the floor.
"One never knows when a sheer precipice will shut up the way in places like this." The youth, however, was confident, and the man of experience was too amiable and yielding. There was also urgent reason for haste. It was therefore decided that the steeper slopes should be attempted. They began with a glissade. A very steep snow-slope happened to be close at hand.
It ought to be told that Butterface had suffered rather severely in the recent glissade on the snow-slope, which will account for the gloomy view he took of the future at that time.
Thus commanded, Lewis obeyed, and found that the snow was indeed knee-deep, and that there was no possibility of their either slipping or falling, unless one were unusually careless, and even in that case the soft snow would have checked anything like an involuntary glissade. "Let me go first," said Lewis. "Nay, I will go first," returned Emma, "you will follow and pick me up if I should fall."
Spring on your right foot, raising your left in front. Fall on your left foot, passing it behind your right foot. Glissade to right with right foot, ending with left in front. 4th bar. Again spring on right foot, raising left in front. Fall on left foot, passing it behind right. Glissade to right, with your right foot; end with same foot in front.
The glissade lasted but a moment, nevertheless it recalled to his mind a picture which was indelibly stamped in his memory. Years before he had seen a man slide like this, unintentionally, after a false step. Again that picture came to him unimpressionable as his life had rendered him.
The view up the cañon was a glimpse of devastation; dry red minerals sliding together, here and there a crag, here and there dwarf thicket clinging in the general glissade, and over all a broken outline trenching on the blue of heaven.
Vorwärts!"; the last scramble to the summit of a virgin peak; the swift glissade down the final snow-slopes in the dusk of the evening with the lights of the village twinkling below; his memories tramped by him fast and always in the heart of them his friend's face shone before his eyes. Chayne stood for a moment dazed and bewildered.
