We are not as heavy as the planet Jupiter, but have somewhat too much gravity to be 'carried' as lightly as all that, too." "You intend, then, to resist?" asked Sir George, whose generous zeal in behalf of the pursued apparently led him to take a stronger interest in their escape than any other person on board.
They had spoken of the pleasant and painful things that had befallen them, since they parted so long ago, or they might not have been able to walk so quietly up and down the crowded rooms, as they did for a while.

That which I had hitherto pursued terminated in an opening at a considerable distance from the bottom.
