When Harz came to himself a hand was pouring liquor into his mouth, and a wet cloth was muffled round his brows; a noise of humming and hoofs seemed familiar. Mr. Treffry loomed up alongside, smoking a cigar; he was muttering: "A low trick, Paul bit of my mind!" Then, as if a curtain had been snatched aside, the vision before Harz cleared again.
It was very still, but for the tinkle of cowbells, and, from somewhere in the distance, the sound of dropping logs. Two barefooted little boys came from the wood, marching earnestly along, and looking at Harz as if he were a monster. Once past him, they began to run. 'At their age, he thought, 'I should have done the same. A hundred memories rushed into his mind.
In the month of May 1799 Coleridge set out with a party of his fellow- students on a walking tour through the Harz Mountains, an excursion productive of much oral philosophising on his part, and of the composition of the Lines on ascending the Brocken, not one of the happiest efforts of his muse.
A mile or more but we picked up at a thatched hut an Indian boy of ten as burden-bearer and guide, though we continued to carry most of our own stuff and to trust largely to our own sense of direction. Above came a three-hour climb through pine-forested mountains, such as the Harz might be without the misfortune of German spick and spanness.
All over northern and central Germany, from Altmark and Anhalt on the east, through Brunswick, Hanover, Oldenburg, the Harz district, and Hesse to Westphalia the Easter bonfires still blaze simultaneously on the hill-tops. As many as forty may sometimes be counted within sight at once.
He nodded, and Christian read the letter, leaving out the mention of Harz, and for some undefined reason the part about Sarelli. "Ay!" said Mr. Treffry with a feeble laugh, "Greta and her money! Send her some more, Chris. Wish I were a youngster again; that's a beast of a proverb about a dog and his day. I'd like to go fishing again in the West Country! A fine time we had when we were youngsters.
"She says that time is nothing, and thought is everything," Greta murmured, rubbing a rose against her cheek, "but I think you cannot have a thought unless you have the time to think it in. There are the others! Look!" A cluster of sunshades on the bridge glowed for a moment and was lost in shadow. "Come," said Harz, "let's join them!"
And, of course, the Hanoverian much more; through which lies the other Great Road! 'Go by the Harz, advises Landgraf Wilhelm: 'a rugged Hill Country; but it is your hypotenuse towards Berlin; passes at once, or nearly so, from Cassel Territory into Prussian: a rugged road, but a shorter and safer. That is the road Belleisle resolves upon.
And he wouldn't be such a fool as to have them bombed, would he?" "Especially as it is well known that there is a wireless installation on a house in Portland Place which communicates with a similar installation in the Harz Mountains," added Lady Helen. This was a half-reassuring, half-terrifying statement. It was comfortable to know that you lived under the Kaiser's wing Mrs.
Harz clenched his hands: "I will answer no more questions." "In that event, we reach the ultimatum," said Herr Paul. "Listen, Herr Outlaw! If you have not left the country by noon to-morrow, you shall be introduced to the police!" Christian uttered a cry. For a minute in the gloom the only sound heard was the short, hard breathing of the two men. Suddenly Harz cried: "You coward, I defy you!"
