"What are here are lianas and ficus pumila!" some of the company observed. "How ever can the liana and the ficus have such unusual scent?" questioned Chia Cheng. "Indeed they aren't!" interposed Pao-yue.
Idoine trembled as she heard him; but she entered, clothed in white, the image of the dead Liana. "Albano, have peace!" she said, in a low and faltering tone. "Liana!" he groaned, weeping. "Peace!" cried she more strongly, and vanished. "I have my peace now, good Schoppe," said Albano softly, "and now I will sleep." Time gradually unfolded Albano's grief instead of weakening it.
Whenever possible, therefore, they preferred to journey, after the fashion of their apish ancestors, by way of the high branches and the liana bridges. Hampered as they were by their weapons, their progress by this aërial way was slow. But it was comparatively secure.
The discarded Hindu gods still haunt the forest depths, and the superstitious native, as he threads the dark recesses of the solemn woods, gazes with apprehensive eyes on the trident of Siva, or the elephant's trunk of Ganesh emerging from the trailing wreaths and matted tapestry of liana and creeper, veiling the blackened stone of each decaying shrine.
Joam Garral had offered to take him to Para, on the road to which he was when the liana, according to his account, had seized him by the neck and brought him up with a round turn. Fragoso had accepted the offer, thanked him from the bottom of his heart, and ever since had sought to make himself useful in a thousand ways.
No matter what the color, or viscosity or chemical properties of sap, regardless of whether it flows in liana, shrub, or vine, yet the Bug's artesian product is clear, tasteless and wholly without the possibility of being blown into bubbles. When a large drop has collected, the tip of the abdomen encloses a retort of air, inserts this in the drop and forces it out.
The whole of its upper surface was a golden green, vivid as the hues of an emerald; while its body underneath was greenish-white. But this part, as it lay along the liana, was not seen; and a pure, uniform green was the apparent colour of the whole animal. There was one conspicuous exception the throat.
And to him in his agony came the tormenting news that the fickle Roquairol had deserted Rabette. He drove the false one from his presence; sister and brother, beloved and friend, were now utterly lost to him. At length he learned that Liana had recovered her sight, and that she was dying. Once more, for the last time, he was admitted to her presence.
There was nothing to hint of danger or the need of distrust. At last Dick finished his spear and rose to his feet. "Where are you going?" asked Emmeline. "The reef," he replied. "The tide's going out." "I'll go with you," said she. He went into the house and stowed the precious knife away. Then he came out, spear in one hand, and half a fathom of liana in the other.
After crouching for a few seconds, it seemed to have formed its plan of attack for it was evident that it meant to attack the spider such, with flies and other insects, being its natural food and prey. It passed to the opposite side of the liana, and then proceeded upward, making for the nest of the tarantula. It reached this point by a single run, although its back was downward as it crawled.
