Is sudden mutation, after all, the key to all these phenomena? We ate our lunch on the old Cambrian table, placed there for us so long ago, and gazed down upon the turbulent river hiding and reappearing in its labyrinthian channel so far below us.
The opening before alluded to as being the point whence the old woman made her weekly sally to the market town, was of so intricate and labyrinthian a character that none but the colonel understood the secret of its fastenings; and the bare thought of my venturing with her on the route by which I had hitherto made my entry into the oasis, was one that curdled my blood with fear.
Then he retraced his labyrinthian steps in a corresponding swath. "I gied him hell," referring doubtless to the vanquished candidate. Whereat I took him to task right sternly, giving him sharply to understand that such language was an insult to his minister and friend.
