That which he now followed was the narrower route departementale, which borders the course of the stream Guadelle, a tributary to the Aliso.

Here are cornfields and vineyards all in one, with olives and almonds growing amid the wheat a promised land of milk and honey.

He rode up the valley of the Guadelle blithely enough, despite the fact that his leg pained him and his left arm ached abominably.

He had, indeed, carried his lead up from the road that runs by the Guadelle river. Was he not to be traced all the way up the short cut through the olive terraces by one bloody footprint at regular intervals?
A great piece of the mountain-side, comprising half a dozen vine terraces, a few olive terraces, and a patch of pinewood, had fallen bodily down into the river-bed, leaving the slope a bare and scarified mass of rock and red soil.
