"And there were other robberies? I even tried to steal from you?" "Yes," she answered again. "And you wanted to have me submit to an operation? And I would not?" "Yes." "And then . . . then you . . . you did it?" So she explained, feeling that certainty would be less harmful to him now than a continual struggle to penetrate the curtain of semidarkness obscuring his memory.
As he stole through the kitchen, he could hear the snorts of Granny Cronk coming from the back room. The outside door stood partly open, and without hesitation he passed through and closed it after him that the wind might not slam it. Then he limped along under the shore trees, up a little hill, and dropped out of sight into an open cavern, where Flea, a candle in her hand, sat in semidarkness.
A moment more and the boat slid beneath the building into semidarkness. Anina shut the power off and stood up. The floor of the house was just above her head. In front of her, near the center of the building, she saw the side walls of an inner inclosure some twenty feet square. These walls came down to the surface, making a room like a basement to the dwelling.
Some hours later she slept through the Dawn City's thunderous takeoff. When she woke up next she was in semidarkness. But she knew where she was and a familiar feeling of low-weight told her the ship was in flight. She sat up. At her motion, the area about her brightened, and the cabin grew visible again. It was rather large, oval-shaped.
John had more than an hour to wait for a returning train to Farnham, and although ordinarily he would have preferred to spend the time in the silent and unreproachful cemetery rather than in the society of his sister Louisa, he was too tired and hopeless to do anything but sit on the steps and smoke fitfully in the semidarkness. Louisa was much as usual.
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.
She crept away into the corner behind the curtain, and there on her couch in the semidarkness she lay with strained heart, and a resurging, unconquerable tumult in her mind. And she lay there from the middle of that afternoon until the next morning. When she awakened she expected to be unable to rise she hoped she could not but life seemed multiplied in her, and inaction was impossible.
"Come in and set down," she said; and seeing Victoria glance at Hilary's horse, she added, "Oh, he'll stand there till doomsday." Victoria, thinking that the situation would be less awkward, accepted the invitation, and Euphrasia shut the door. The hall, owing to the fact that the shutters of the windows by the stairs were always closed, was in semidarkness.
But at least the banks were smooth and level, and as long as the stream itself remained clear of obstruction there was but little real danger. The current was not nearly so swift as I had expected it would be. In the semidarkness it was difficult to calculate our rate of speed, but I judged that we were moving at about six or seven miles an hour.
When their eyes became adjusted to the semidarkness, they moved, searching for another door in the huge room. "Are you sure this is the right place?" asked Astro. "I can't be positive," said Tom. "The stuff outside was too thick " He stopped, touched Astro on the arm, and pointed to his left. There was the sound of a door sliding back and light filtered into the murky room.
