Just step this way, please," and, with a little bow, he motioned to them to follow him into the semi-dark machine shop back of the office. When Jack Kimball called at the Robinson home that same evening, at precisely nine-thirty, he found three very much agitated young ladies.
A round was in progress; figures were bent busily over their boards, altering their computations and changing their light-patterns. Alan slid a five-credit piece into the slot and, while waiting for the round to finish and the next to begin, looked around at his fellow patrons. In the semi-dark that prevailed it was difficult to make out faces. He would have trouble recognizing Steve.
And setting down the pitcher of water and loaf of bread he had been carrying he hurried off. "Now is our time!" whispered Tom, as soon as he was certain the man of all work was gone. "But which way shall we go?" questioned Sam "Follow me, and I'll show you." Leaving the storeroom, Tom led the way through the semi-dark hallway and up the stairs.
And around him Roger saw, emerging from the semi-dark, faces turning like his own to the summits of the mountains and the billowy splendors there. It grew so dark he could see no more. There fell a deep silence, not a sound but the occasional chirp of a bird or the faint whirr of an insect. Even the glow on the peaks was gone. Darkness, only darkness. "Surely this is death," he thought.
Despite the quiet beauty and peace of the night, the girls found it almost impossible to sleep. They tossed and dozed, and waked and dozed again until, toward daylight, they fell into a restless, uneasy sleep. Crack! Crack! The girls started to a sitting posture and regarded each other fearfully. "What is it?" cried Mollie, her eyes big and round in the semi-dark. "Betty, what are you doing?"
The sexton threw open the doors, and slowly the little procession filed out. Outside a brilliant sunshine struck full on the whitewashed walls of the little schoolhouse opposite. It was so dazzling that it made everybody blink as they stepped out from the semi-dark church into this magnificent flood of light.
Joy found herself being steered masterfully into a little semi-dark room that opened off the long parlor. John planted her in a low chair in a corner and pulled up a stool for himself just opposite. "They won't find us for at least ten minutes, unless we wigwag. Now what's a sorcerette?" His tone, in spite of his carelessness, betrayed a certain anxiety to learn.
"We cannot lie up in this hole much longer," said Stair, digging his heels into the sand. "I do not see that you do much lying up," retorted Godfrey McCulloch, his eyes dark and beady in the semi-dark; "you are off ashore more than half the time " "After that little slip of a Ferris girl, Patsy," said an Irishman from Antrim.
It entailed a great many journeys in and out, the sods being piled up on his hooked left arm with a certain skill. His route lay through a small shop, down a semi-dark hallway, across a kitchen, the sods being stowed under a stairway where cockroaches scampered from the thudding of the falling sods.
I say from all points of view advisedly, because, although the ravens discoursed much over their council of war, they would not come within a hundred yards, and it was a voice from the semi-dark, or western, side which finally stayed them in the very act of unfolding their big, rounded wings to fly away. "Krar-krar-krar!" rasped the voice; and the ravens folded their wings again to wait and see!
