When O'Reilly emerged from the hut he found Jacket industriously at work over a fragment of grindstone which he had somewhere unearthed. The boy looked up at his friend's approach and held out for inspection a long, thin file, which he was slowly shaping into a knife-blade. "What do you think of that?" he queried, proudly. "It may come in handy when we are ready to clear out of this pesthole."
In some moister climate La Corrala would have been a nest of contagion: the wind and sun of Madrid, however, that sun which brings blisters to the skin, saw to the disinfection of that pesthole.
There was an edge to it; such an edge as she had faintly heard on the previous night, when Carroll had pressed him too hard. She was startled. "Perhaps I haven't," she admitted.

For the thousandth time he asked himself if he had come in time to find her, or if fate's maddening delays had proved his own and the girl's undoing.

It was a thought he could not bear to dwell upon.

Here was joyful tidings, the better for being so unexpected. Keziah leaned against the boards and drew a long breath. Grace said nothing, but, after a moment, she went into the house.
