To right and left, at the foot of savage cliffs black against the silver moonlight, Nan could see the long combers roll in and break into a cloud of upflung spray, girdling the wild coast with a zone of misty, moonlit spray that must surely have been fashioned in some dim world of faëry.
With huge satisfaction they noticed the sleeveless shirt, the loose running-trunks, and, above all, the generous display of medals. With a wild yell of delight they broke out upon the trail of their champion, only to have Glass thrust his corpulent body in their path. With an upflung arm he stemmed the tide. "It's no use, boys," he cried, "he's a mile away!"
Then he lay down, very close beside it; his mighty head athwart the ridge of upflung sod. There, having seen him from a distance, the Master came across to speak to him. But at sight of the man, the collie got up from his resting place and moved furtively away. Time after time, during the next week, the Master or the Mistress found him lying there.
It had been from the very front of this salient's invading angle that we had emerged; on each side of it the precipices, faintly glowing, drew back and vanished into distance. The slender, graceful bridges under which we skimmed ended at openings in the upflung, far walls of verdure. Each had its little garrison of soldiers.
"Don't cry please, dear " His head, bowed beside hers over their clasped hands, was more than she could endure; but her upflung face, seeking escape, encountered his. There was a deep, indrawn breath, a sob, and she lay, crying her heart out, in his arms. "Darling!" "W-what?" It is curious how quickly one recognizes unfamiliar forms of address. "You won't cry any more, will you?" he whispered.
"I mean, that this is such a very lonely place for any woman and such as he." Now even as Barnabas uttered the words she advanced upon him with upflung head and eyes aflame with sudden passionate scorn. "Insolent," she exclaimed. "So it was you you actually dared to interfere?" "Madam," said Barnabas, "I did."
His gaze seemed impelled and held by things afar the great yellow-and-purple corrugated world of distance, now on a level with his eyes. He was drawn by the beauty and the grandeur of that scene and transfixed by the realization that he had dared to venture to find a way through this vast, wild, and upflung fastness.
Southward rolled the beautiful uplands, with valleys of sage and grass, and plateaus of pine and cedar, until this rich rolling gray and green range broke sharply on a purple horizon line of upflung rocky ramparts and walls and monuments, wild, dim, and mysterious. Bostil's cattle and horses were numberless, and many as were his riders, he always could use more.
But at Varta's upflung arm it uttered a rasping cry and planed down into the mass of vegetation below. By the glint of sunlight on the stone around them the day was already well advanced. Varta tugged at Lur's mane until he roused. There was a regularity to the rocks piled about their sleeping place which hinted that they had lain among the ruins left by man.
But Susan was gone with upflung hands and a look that said "No, you don't rake me into this thing, young lady!" as plainly as if she had spoken the words themselves. In the living-room a minute later, Keith began eager questioning. "When did you come?" "Yesterday." "And you came to see me the very next day! Weren't you good? You knew how I wanted to see you."
