So thickly did the heathen wend, and so closely did they mingle with the Christians, that you might scarcely know who was a christened man and who was not. The Britons were sorely troubled at this matter, and prayed the king not to put such affiance in the outland folk, for they wrought much mischief.
Then he climbed again, and went up between limestone rocks, higher and higher, till the noise of waters became indistinct, a faint humming of swarming hives in summer. He walked some distance on level ground, till there was a break in the banks and a stile on which he could lean and look out. He found himself, as he had hoped, afar and forlorn; he had strayed into outland and occult territory.
Sylvie whispered, with her arms twined closely around the old man's neck, and with her rosy cheek lovingly pressed to his. "In Elfland, darling. It's one of the provinces of Fairyland." "But I thought Elfland was ever so far from Outland: and we've come such a tiny little way!" "You came by the Royal Road, sweet one.

Another Mexican, a slim youth, bashfully acknowledged Pete's presence and called in the dogs.

"What do you want, outlander, that you dare to come here where no man may enter?" "That which you know. For on the night when Lurgha came you also saw " Ross heard the hiss of a sharply drawn breath. "How knew you that, outlander?"
"John Outland, the noted Pennsylvania player, had charge of the Indians when I knew them. He was a great player and a fine type of man, who succeeded in imparting some of his own personality to his pupils. He once showed me a dark faced Indian in Lawrence who must have been at least six feet four inches tall and of superb physique.
