Here, much bedecked, was the Galena Lincoln Club, part of Joe Davies's shipment. Fifes skirled, and drums throbbed, and the stars and stripes snapped in the breeze. And here was a delegation headed by fifty sturdy ladies on horseback, at whom Stephen gaped like a countryman.
Then right madly skirled the intolerable laughter, rising to shrieks that were fearfuller than any scream of agony I ever heard; the hundreds of people through all those grand rooms danced and wheeled about me, shrieking, hemming me in with interlaced arms, the women loosing their long hair and thrusting forward their horribly-grinning unsexed faces toward me till I felt their hot breath.
"Hoot mon! Dinna ye let it get away frae ye into the dar-rk woods!" skirled Andrew, equally excited, and filled with awe of the raven parachute now springing, like a great, black mushroom, out of the night and of the firefly which had been up so high. "Oh! it is it is drifting towards the dark spruce woods where we'll have hard work to find it."
Round the fire they huddled, none speaking except in whispers, as though they feared the great unseen Presence; and as they sat in that eerie silence there came the hollow clop-clop of sea-boots in the passage, and I saw the serving maids stiffen and straighten as they sat, and a look of terrible fear came on their faces. And McKelvie's lass skirled, "He's coming," and cooried back in a corner.
Then across the vibrant, pulsating scene fell the deadly shadow of the witch Ritmagar. The stage darkened, the violins in the orchestra skirled eerily in chromatic showers of notes, and the hunched figure of Ritmagar approaching menaced the lovers.
The men, too, were thankful to have a good roof over their heads, and we heard no more of fever. Wednesday, May 17. Yesterday it rained without ceasing, until the valley in front of us took the appearance of a lake A party of terns, white above and with black breasts, skirled and wrangled over the "casual" water.
