He stopped at the edge of the lantern's glow and looked around uncertain, for the light was in his eyes. "Come, boy, what is it?" asked Ben Jonson. Nick peered through the brightness. "Master Will Master Will Shakspere!" he gasped. "Well, my lady," said the quiet man; "what wilt thou have of me?" Nick Attwood had come to his fellow-townsman at last.
"Oh, say," spoke Ben as if the thought had just occurred to him, "where did you say them young fellers went? The ones who started out in a canoe?" Now Cora saw that this was the man who had come down the lake with the canoe trailing behind his rowboat. He stepped into the lantern's light, and both Bess and Belle must also have recognized him, for they shot a meaning glance at Cora.
When the lantern opened noiselessly, sending a broad beam of gray, full of shadows and misty lights, through the even blackness of the night, the deer stood revealed a beautiful creature, shrinking back into the forest's shadow, yet ever drawn forward by the sudden wonder of the light. She turned her head towards me, and her eyes blazed like great colored lights in the lantern's reflection.
"Then why couldn't you have given warning?" retorted Treacher. "Pretty pair of eyes you keep in that old head of yours!" "Be quiet, you two!" the Commandant ordered. "They'd have caught the painter if they wanted us." He fell silent, bending his head to study the compass in the lantern's ray.
For a moment the lantern's flash rested upon his brow and eyes, relieving them against the obscurity which still enveloped his mouth. The high-bred lines of his profile stood out clear and fine as those of an ivory carving, and their very beauty saddened the look she turned upon him.
The dozen flung themselves across the stream, I hot in their wake, through Mr. Brady's gate, which was open; and there was a scene of sweet tranquillity under the lantern's rays, the North Wind and his friends wrapped in their blankets and sleeping the sleep of the just. "Damn the sly varmints," cried Tom, and he turned over the North Wind with his foot, as a log.
And running into the gallery, I heard quick footsteps in the garden. Then there was a lantern's flash, a smothered oath, and all was dark again. But in the flash I had seen distinctly three figures. One was Breed, and he held the lantern; another was the master; and the third, a stout one muffled in a cloak, I made no doubt was my jolly friend.
Anyhow, there's one thing there's more honor in getting him out through a lot of difficulties and dangers, where there warn't one of them furnished to you by the people who it was their duty to furnish them, and you had to contrive them all out of your own head. Now look at just that one thing of the lantern. When you come down to the cold facts, we simply got to LET ON that a lantern's resky.
"I will do my best, señor," replied Tomba in a voice well nigh as steady as the Army boy's. Then he bent forward, pressing until he found a hidden spring. In the seemingly solid stone wall a large block of stone swung around on a pivot, disclosing a larger cellar room beyond. "Steady, now, Tomba!" Sergeant Overton flashed the lantern's rays over the Filipino's left shoulder.
Taking a single look at the miserable band of whites and blacks collected in the barn, and revealed by a lantern's light in the excitement of drink and avarice, or the familiarity of fear and vice some inspecting gags of corn-cob and bucks of hickory, others trimming clubs of blackjack with the roots attached; others loading their horse-pistols and greasing the dagger-slides thereon; some whetting their hog-killing knives upon harness, others cutting rope and cord into the lengths to bind men's feet Levin was set on the loping horse he had been already riding, by Clark, the host, and soon met Sorden on the road.
