The dark and gloomy silence that hung between those two walls of rock, the death-like desolation, the stealthy windings of the creek everything in that dim and mysterious world between the two mountains, unshattered by sound and impenetrable to the winter sun, seemed in his mind to link itself with the tragedy of long ago. Did that chasm hold the secret of the dead men?
Smilash, making off through the shrubbery, found the end of his path blocked by Agatha and a young lady whose appearance alarmed him more than had that of Mrs. Jansenius. He attempted to force his tray through the hedge, but in vain; the laurel was impenetrable, and the noise he made attracted the attention of the approaching couple.
My wife left a little property, a few pennies, that I must go and see to for the child." Lizzie stood before him, a cold knife in her breast. "I see I see," she reiterated, feeling all the while that she strained her eyes into impenetrable blackness. "It's a nuisance, having to pull up stakes," he went on, with a fretful glance about the studio. She lifted her eyes slowly to his face.
Then she lifted her head and looked at him, and again he could not read her expression, for a light burned in her eyes that made them impenetrable to him, a light that seemed pitilessly to search out and reveal the dark places and the weak places within him which he himself had not known were there.

"We'll only move along daytimes. We'll camp at night." For three days they sailed along, sometimes over vast level plains on which grazed wild cattle, again over impenetrable jungles which they could never have gotten through in their ox carts. They crossed rivers and many small lakes, stopping each night on the ground, the airship securely anchored to trees.
Harry gasped and threw down his glasses. Now he knew that the words Shepard had spoken to him the night before at the spring were true. The Southern invasion had been rolled back forever.
