The larger board had tall teeth disposed openly; upon the smaller, the teeth were shorter and as dense as a hair brush. In front of them opened a grating and above ran an endless band. Behind this grille was an exhaust, which sucked away the dust and countless atoms of vegetable matter scattered by Levi's activities, and the running band from above worked it.
And suddenly, as he stood waiting and listening, he heard a voice that sounded close by him and became aware that there was a small trap or grille in the door, behind which he made out a face. "Who is that?" whispered the voice. "John Purdie wanting to see Mr. Levendale," he answered promptly. The door was just as promptly opened, and as Purdie stepped within was as quickly closed behind him.
Though he was sure that he still received a trace of it from time to time, just enough to reassure him that the prisoner was still alive. And each time it touched him Raf redoubled his efforts on the metal clasps of the grid. At last his determination triumphed, and the grille swung out, to fall with an appalling clatter to the floor.
Dalgard, startled, stared at his companion. Sssuri was still by the grille, watching that archway through which the devil had disappeared. "What kind of help?" For a moment Dalgard pictured the monster returning at the head of a regiment of its kind, able to tear out this grille and get at their soft-fleshed enemies behind it. "Safety protection," Sssuri told him.
After we had passed the broad street door, with its large brass plate and small brass grille, we were shown into a little waiting-room with tiled floor, distempered walls, and coloured pictures of the saints.
Many tourists arrive at Chantilly by auto, stop brusquely before the Grande Grille, rush through the galleries of the chateau, do "cent pas" in the park, give a cursory glance at the stables and are off; but more, many more, with slower steps and saner minds, drink in the charms which are offered on all sides and consider the time well spent even if they have paid "Boulevard Prices" at the Restaurant du Grand Condé for their dejeuner.
The fire underneath the grille was kept low, and fed with green sticks, and with the offal, hide, and bones of the slaughtered animal. This process was called boucanning, from an Indian word "boucan," which seems to have signified "dried meat" and "camp-fire." Buccaneer, in its original sense, meant one who practised the boucan. Meat thus cured kept good for several months.
"Five minutes more; and they are on the way down there they come." Kent looked and saw a group of six men making for the nearest exit in the grille. Then he smote his fist into his palm. "Damn!" he muttered; "they've got the vice-president of the Overland with them! That's bad." "It's bad for Mr. Callafield," growled M'Tosh. "We're in too deep now to back down on his account."
"I release you from your second promise, Captain Carse. No doubt what happened was beyond your control.... I will soon be dead. Although there is still nourishment in my liquid, I grow weaker already. I am dying...." Harshly, the Hawk asked a final question into the grille: "Within what time will you retain the vitality necessary to undergo the initial steps of the transplanting operations?
But soon after he irritated her a little; it made her impatient to see him closeted within himself and too little preoccupied by her. She would have liked to disturb him. She was in that state of impatience when she met him one evening, in front of the grille of the Musee des Religions, and he talked to her of Ravenna and of the Empress seated on a gold chair in her tomb.
