And for a moment they stood there in the sunlight before the long colonnade that occupied the lower story of the citadel; while from beneath that colonnade issued a dozen or fifteen of the black, muscular Maghrabi men, two of whom in the rôle of official stranglers they had already seen. These powerful half-savages took the horses away, the hoofs clacking hollowly on the golden pavement.
Constans's footsteps fell hollowly upon the pavement slippery with weed and the August damp, and as he walked along an unearthly radiance suddenly illuminated his path; from every cornice and eaves-end hung balls of the pale St. Elmo's fire; not a house but boasted its array of corpse-candles that flickered with a greenish flame. A terrifying sight, but harmless.
We'll go on to Williamsport, and there we'll hold the court of inquiry." He touched his horse with the spur. The miles of road ran past, the air, eager and cold, pressed sharply; there came a feeling of the morning. He was now upon a level stretch of road, before him, a mile away, a long, bare hill. He crossed a bridge, hollowly sounding through the night, and neared the hill.
Constans by dint of rubbing away some of the verdigris succeeded in making out the inscription. It read: ARCADIA HOUSE RICHARD VAN DUYNE 1803 Actuated by a daring impulse he lifted the knocker and let it fall. The rat-tat sounded hollowly, but there was no response.
No sign that he was aware came from the busied boy, though he coughed again, hollowly now a proof that he was an artist. "All right, Hedrick," she said kindly. "I heard you the first time." He looked up with utter incomprehension. "I'm afraid I've caught cold," he said, simply. "I got a good many weeds out before breakfast, and the ground was damp."
I breathed a sigh of relief, for I had for a moment feared it was a burglar. "Oh!" I said. "You gave me a start at first. I was afraid you were a material thing come to rob me." Then turning towards the tree, I observed, with a wave of the hand, "Fine lay out, eh?" "Beautiful," he said, hollowly. "Yet not so beautiful as things I've seen in realms beyond your ken."
In the far corner of the lift, the emotional Jules was sobbing silently into the bunch of cotton-waste which served him in the office of a pocket-handkerchief. His broken-hearted gulps echoed hollowly down the shaft. In these days of cheap books of instruction on every subject under the sun, we most of us know how to behave in the majority of life's little crises.
"What money?" she persisted, hollowly, determined now to know all. It might be dreadful to lose one's money it was dreadful; but to have this man drag her down into his own shame, too ah! Willoughby threw up both hands in a gesture of ungovernable petulance. "Oh, what's the use of talking about it?" he growled, and then instantly his voice dropped. "Stella, I'm sorry for your sake.
The engine shrieked warningly at intervals, the train rumbled hollowly over short bridges and across pikes, swung round the hills, and plunged with wild warnings past little towns hid in the snow, with only here and there a light shining dimly. One of the drummers now and then rose up from his cramped bed on the seats, and swore cordially at the railway company for not heating the cars.
I only know he does." Their conversation was drowned by the sound of the drum. The guardian did not beat it, but rubbed the head rapidly with the stick, modifying the pressure scientifically until the vibrations had well started. It roared hollowly, like some great bull. The visitors passed through the defensive anteroom and entered the village enclosure.
