She spent many a day and night in the same manner after this. For the present the long, idle rambles and unconventional moon-lit talks were over.
And that venerable head oscillated again in the moon-lit gloom and rocked gradually to a stand-still. Presently the head said, in shrill, slow tones: "I've seen three o' them Norwegian chaps.
