When she heard me enter she sprang to her feet like a tigress. "I hate you!" she cried. Coming from the brilliant light of the noonday sun into the semidarkness of the cave I could not see her features, and I was rather glad, for I disliked to think of the hate that I should have read there. I never said a word to her at first.
At the threshold he paused for an instant, and, lifting the struggling Arab above his head, hurled him, as though from a catapult, full in the faces of his on-pressing fellows. Then Tarzan and Abdul stepped into the semidarkness of the court.
As the servant, without further words, turned and left her, she knocked, opened the door without awaiting a reply, and stepping into semidarkness, said softly: "Michel! Michel!" At Angle's entrance a form slowly raised itself on a couch, and a voice, not Michel's, said: "Mademoiselle by our Lady, 'tis she!" It was the voice of the Seigneur of Rozel, and Angle started back amazed.
The lower the tiers of chambers, the darker. Most of the corridors are entirely unlighted. The Mahars can see quite well in semidarkness. Down to the main floor we encountered many Mahars, Sagoths, and slaves; but no attention was paid to us as we had become a part of the domestic life of the building.

At the disordered supper-table, a few people still lingered; and deserters were again knocking balls about the green cloth of the billiard-table. Maurice went past them, and up a flight of stairs that led to a gallery overlooking the hall. This gallery was in semidarkness.
One of the most vivid song silhouettes that I remember is that of a great crowd of negroes singing in a Y. M. C. A. hut. There must have been a thousand of them. I was to speak to them on "Lincoln Day." I remember how their white teeth shone through the semidarkness of that candle-lighted hut, and how their eyes gleamed, and how their bodies swayed as they sang the old plantation melodies.
He closed the bank as usual at five. Lincoln had not come couldn't come now till the nine-o'clock accommodation. For an hour after the shades were drawn he sat there in the semidarkness, silently pondering on his situation. This attitude and deep quiet were unusual to him.
They crept through the hall again, and then mounted the broad stairway, which led to the next floor. There the utter silence and the semidarkness quickly convinced them that they were on the wrong track. "The stable," muttered Chick, suddenly. "We'll try the stable." "They certainly have vamosed this ranch," remarked Patsy. "Plainly. Come on, then, and we'll try the stable."
Gliding swiftly along to the entrance of the dining-room, she flung aside the curtains and appeared like a shade before Lem and Lon. The squatter saw her first; but in the semidarkness did not recognize her. He lifted his arm, and a flash of steel sent her trembling backward. "Don't open yer mug, Kid, or I'll shoot yer head off!" Then he recognized her, and stepped back to Lem's side.
