The valley lay like the smooth ground of some vast arena prepared for a pageant and back of it rose the silent hills, tier on tier like the seats of a mighty amphitheatre. But the men crouching on those seats were not spectators they were the grimmest actors in the tragedy. For a moment it was a spectacle merely the grandest display of the pageantry of war ever made on a field of death.
As in a night, lo! on every lip was the dread word that was destined to be blazoned in bloody letters at the head of the next and grimmest chapter of all Russian history: Nihilism. Indeed, indeed, had these young men and women found their little knowledge a deeply dangerous thing!
"I thought we'd tell you," said the doctor in his grimmest fashion, "we're going to find out a school where there are no holidays, and send you there." But they did not, for in due time we went back to Barnstaple, and I had the last of my education there. It seems a long time to look forward to, but when it has gone how everyone finds out what a scrap of our lives three years appear to be.
During the night watches old dreads had revived; she shuddered at the thought of Elma left alone poor, innocent darling! with that terrible young man; pursed her lips at the recollection of Madame's frivolities, and decided that nothing but grimmest necessity should induce her to prolong the danger.
"Oh, you're there, are you, Mr Sep?" exclaimed the doctor grimly. "Yes, sir," I said. "That's right; I only wanted to ask a favour of you." "What is it, sir?" I said. "Oh, wait a minute and I'll tell you," said the doctor in his grimmest way. "It was only this. You see I'm a very busy man, twice as busy as I used to be since your father has taken to consulting me. What I want you to do is this "
Even if landing were possible, the grimmest crevassed snow slopes lie behind to cut one off from the Barrier surface; there is no hope of shelter till we reach Cape Royds. Meanwhile all hands are employed making a running survey. I give an idea of the programme opposite. Terror cleared itself of cloud some hours ago, and we have had some change in views of it.
His forefathers had crossed the Atlantic for conscience' sake, and it was the idea of the urgent conscience that haunted the imagination of their so-called degenerate successor. The Puritan strain in his blood ran clear there are passages in his Diaries, kept during his residence in Europe, which might almost have been written by the grimmest of the old Salem worthies.
"This was the sorest, When my love, my Sigurd, Reft of glory In his bed gat ending: But this the grimmest When glittering worms Tore their way Through the heart of Gunnar. "But this the keenest When they cut to the quick Of the hardy heart Of the unfeared Hogni. Of much of bale I mind me, Of many griefs I mind me; Why should I sit abiding Yet more bale and more?
Kate so sure of his weakness. He got up from the bed as quietly as he could and left the house. He was even more thoughtful, after that, but not quite so gloomy if one cared enough for his moods to make a fine distinction. Have you ever observed the fact that many of life's grimmest battles and deepest tragedies scarce ripple the surface of trivial things?
De Garcia heard this speech, that to-day seems to me to smack of the theatre, though it was spoken in grimmest earnest, and his face grew like the face of a trapped wolf. Yet I saw that he had no mind to fight, not because of cowardice, for to do him justice he was no coward, but because of superstition.
