He leaned towards her, watching eagerly for some symptom of interest in the face before him, and bent his head until he inhaled the fragrance of the violets which clustered on one side of the coil of hair.

Pyecroft ran round to the open door, and stood looking up into my face. Behind him an enormous Sergeant of Marines trailed a stalk of dried seaweed, and dusted the sand nervously from his fingers. "What are you doing here?" I asked. "I thought the Hierophant was down the coast?"
Let us enter the mystic temple and be initiated, though it must be supposed that a year ago we were initiated into the Lesser Mysteries at Agræ. Crowned with myrtle, we enter with the other mystæ into the vestibule of the temple, blind as yet, but the Hierophant within will soon open our eyes.
On the tables within the spaces flickered numerously the "Bunsen burners," his invention, and it was easy to fancy as one saw him, surrounded by the large company of reverent disciples, that you were in the presence of the hierophant of some abstruse and mysterious cult, in whose honour waved the many lambent flames.
