In the meantime, the fort was bombarded; the line of battle ships were warped near enough to batter in breach, and then the admiral sent an officer with a flag of truce to the governor, requiring him to surrender. His proposal being again rejected, the English ships renewed their fire next day with redoubled vigour.
He's a Byelev townsman. 'And are you too from Byelev? 'No, I'm a serf; I was a serf. 'Whose? 'Zvyerkoff was my master. Now I am free. 'What Zvyerkoff? 'Alexandr Selitch. 'Weren't you his wife's lady's maid? 'How did you know? Yes. I looked at Arina with redoubled curiosity and sympathy. 'I know your master, I continued.

Some of my friends indulged in considerable merriment at my expense when they found out my constant attendance at mass.

Where there was one, there are now two ghostly figures scurrying to redoubled disaster. Again and again the stern call rings out, answered by the wildest tumult of all. The shouts for the master's aid seem to turn to shrieks of despair. At last a mighty call overmasters and stills the storm.

Arabella uttered a faint scream.
Yet, by a last effort of the wavering will, Djalma advanced once more to try and open one of the doors; he found it indeed, but at this place the vapor was so strong, that its action redoubled, and, unable to move a step further, Djalma was obliged to support himself by leaning against the wall. Then a strange thing happened.
