The river was full of craft and the roadway choked by rows and rows of carts, all of one pattern, too big and too heavy for roads that are laid across a marsh. He turned to the right, but found his way blocked at the corner of the Langenmarkt, where the road narrows to pass under the Grunes Thor.
These grunes are reefs, rising a little above low water, but, as the tide was about half-flood, they were a few feet below it; yet at times there was scarcely enough depth to float us over them, while the brown seaweed torn from their edges lay in our wake, something like the swaths of grass in a meadow after the scythe has swept through it.
All her soul was in her eyes. "Is that all?" she said at length as the others had said at the entrance to the town. She found she was standing hand-in-hand with Mathilde, whose face was like marble. At last, when even the crowd had passed away beneath the Grunes Thor, they turned and walked home in silence. Distinct with footprints yet Of many a mighty marcher gone that way.
This bridge spans the Mottlau at the entrance to the Langenmarkt, and the roadway widens before it narrows again to pass beneath the Grunes Thor. There is rising ground where the road spreads like a fan, and here they could see and be seen. "Let us hope," said Sebastian, "that two of these gentlemen may perceive you as they pass." But he did not offer to accompany them.
Now and then came a bump and a scrape of the keel against their sharp ridges. The sweat stood in beads upon Tardif's face, and his thick hair fell forward over his forehead, where the great veins in the temples were purple and swollen. I spoke to him after a heavier bump over the grunes than any we had yet come to. "Tardif," I said, "we are shaving the weeds a little too close, aren't we?"
The shifting of the sails appeared to give him plenty to do; and to my surprise, instead of keeping to the ordinary course, he ran recklessly as it seemed across the grunes, which lie all about the bed of the channel between Guernsey and Sark.
