His mother, who has recovered from her fright, takes him in her arms and rings the bell. "The year is beginning well, dear," she says, "but we must have a little daylight." "Mamma, naughty children don't have any new toys on New Year's Day, do they?" And as he says this the sly fellow eyes a pile of parcels and packages heaped up in one corner, visible despite the semidarkness.
Directly before him was an oval window crossed by many bars, and beyond he saw the moonlight playing on the waters of the blue lake below. Simultaneously he was conscious of a familiar odor in the air of the chamber, which a quick glance revealed in the semidarkness as of considerable proportion. It was the faint, but unmistakable odor of the gryf, and now Tarzan stood silently listening.
He walked over to the left end of the bar, noting the hard usage shown by the ornate mahogany, and spreading his hands wide open, palms down, on the face of it, glanced at the low window on his left, opening on the gravelled patio. He peered, in the semidarkness, at the battered door behind the bar.
Into the semidarkness of the room where she was came her husband. That night she had determined, as women will, upon a final test. She knew where he expected to dine; she asked him if he would dine with her. "'I can't, he said.

Sitting beside her like this, in the semidarkness, morbidly aware of the perfume of her hair and dress, he suddenly forgot that he had been rude, and she indifferent.

He marched up to the spaceboat's port. He knocked on it. There was no response. He knocked again. Hoddan opened the door. He nodded cheerfully to Thal. "'Afternoon, Thal! Glad to see you. I've been hoping you'd come over this way. Who's with you?" He peered through the semidarkness. "Some of the boys, eh? Come in!" He beckoned and said casually: "Lean your spears against the hull, there."
I flung myself at it found the knob turned it and yelled aloud My foot had brushed against him. I knew the difference and it sent me palpitating over the threshold; but no further. Love of life had returned with my escape from that awful prison-house, and I halted in the semidarkness into which I had plunged, thanking Heaven for the thunder peal which had drowned my loud cry.
Very inconsiderate of them with my schools coming on but they would do it. Thursday? before the Eights? Won't my mother be chaperon enough?" "Certainly. But it only puts off the evil day." "When I must grovel to Mrs. Hooper? if I am to see anything of you? Splendid! You are trying to discipline me again as you did at Cannes!" In the semidarkness she could see the amusement in his eyes.
A point of radiance that held the last hopes of an incredibly ancient race. The quiet voice of Tordos Gar came through the semidarkness of the room, a pensive, dreamlike quality in its tones.
