With sickening speed the plateau moved forward. The texture of the heavens above them changed. The sun the one thing in their new universe that seemed unchanged in size and aspect shone down on them. The plateau came jarringly to rest. Great cliffs of what seemed black basalt gleamed high over them.
"It would be better to let us stay, King, if you please. You are weaponless." "Go," Canute repeated. In a moment the doors beyond the curtain had closed behind them, and the two men were alone save for the girl hiding forgotten in the shadow of the chair. Rothgar laughed jarringly. "Whatever has been told about you, you have not yet been accounted a coward.
It seemed a natural thing for Andy to go forward a pace closer to the bed, but, lest that should alarm her, it seemed also natural for him to drop upon one knee. It brought the muzzle of the revolver jarringly home against the floor. The girl heard that sound of metal and it shook her; but it requires a very vivid imagination to fear a man upon his knees.
But she could not look at his face while these things were weighing out their balance in her mind. It seemed hard enough to be compelled to listen to the sound of his voice; the weak, uncertain quality that it possessed, that faint suggestion of commonness which did not exactly admit of dropped aitches, but rang jarringly in her ears.

The Egyptian recognized the face and form of Glaucus. The unfortunate and benighted Greek was chanting a disconnected and mad song, composed from snatches of hymns and sacred odes, all jarringly woven together.
