The front door opened to admit them, and shut quickly behind them as they passed in. "Señora Paez," said Zuroaga to a shadow in the unlighted hall, "the armistice is ended, but I shall command my Oaxaca regiment in the fighting which is now sure to come. Let us all meet in the parlor and hear from Señor Carfora the American account of these lost battles." "Carfora?" she exclaimed. "Is he here?
Though he was black enough, in all conscience, he had neither horns, hoof, nor tail, and he was redolent rather of 'bacco than brimstone; a queer old hat, in the band of which was stuck an unlighted candle, covered a mass of matted red hair; his eyes were glaring and rimmed with red; and there was a gash in his face where his mouth should have been.
Bosinney were in or no; she had not seen him that day, not for two or three days; she did not attend to him now, nobody attended to him, he.... Soames interrupted her, he would go up and see for himself. He went up with a dogged, white face. The top floor was unlighted, the door closed, no one answered his ringing, he could hear no sound.
At the turn of the tide, in two hours' time, something might be done. "Us cannot see anything," a bystander said to Miriam. "It is just there, where I am pointing. Sea Andrew saw something a while back says it looked like a schooner." The man stood pointing out to sea to the southward. He carried an unlighted torch a flare, roughly made, of tarred rope, bound round a stick.
It is strange how a man will argue with himself to believe a thing which he can not believe, and will silence, without convincing, himself. I was revolving these things in my mind one night, about a week afterward, on my way alone through the narrow, dark unlighted streets, lying black in the shadows of the overhanging houses.
Just enough light to show him the dark flags and swords of the iris flowers along the terrace edge his favourite flower that had the night's own colour on its curving crumpled petals. He turned round to the house. Big, unlighted, not a soul beside himself to live in all that part of it. Stark loneliness! He could not go on living here alone.
Above the iron-trap doors Po Lun waited patiently. In an unlighted alley back of the American Exchange Hotel two figures waited, as if by appointment on the night of March 14. One was Ashbury Harpending, a young Southerner, and one of the Committee of Thirty which, several years before, had hatched an unsuccessful plot to capture California for the hosts of slavery.
But she had not smoked her own, which stood beside her unlighted, emblematical of her loneliness. On hearing the doors open she sprang up like a gazelle, and threw her arms round Lucien, wrapping him like a web caught by the wind and flung about a tree. "Parted. Is it true?" "Oh, just for a few days," replied Lucien. Esther released him, and fell back on her divan like a dead thing.
Not so Hugh, who was just entering the house, and caught sight of her outline against the window-pane, and, thinking the unlighted parlor vacant but for Dexie's presence, he softly opened the door and stepped to her side.
Jimmie Dale had halted now to survey his surroundings, and, his eyes grown accustomed to the darkness, he could make out a door opening on the small yard in which he stood, and to the right of the door an unlighted and closed window. That was Klanner's window.
