If, as I believe and as you say you believe, there is a God, think whom you will be called upon to salute when that God has heard the truth. Meanwhile I repeat that Heliodore the Egyptian still lives beneath the sun." Irene rose from the stool on which she sat and thought a moment. I gazed through the bars of the window-place in my cell out at the night above.
Tua and Asti, seated in the window-place of their splendid prison, looked through the wooden screen down into the court below, where, according to his custom at this hour, Janees the King sat in the shadow to administer justice and hear the petitions of his subjects. The two women were ill at ease, for the time of respite had almost passed.
As we finished our meal we heard shouts in the street outside of, "Make way for the servants of the King!" and looking through the window-place, saw a great cavalcade approaching, headed by two princes on horseback. "Now I pray that yonder Tyrant has not changed his mind and that these do not come to take me back to the boat," I said in a low voice.
"Not so, Heliodore," I cried again, and, turning, began to grope my way to the window-place, which I knew was far from the ground, since I had no weapon that would serve my turn. In an instant, as I thrust the lattice open, I felt two strong arms cast about me and heard the physician exclaim, "Come, Lady, help me with this madman, lest he do himself a mischief."
The door from the hut at Fern's Hollow was fortunately rather too large instead of being too small for the doorway; and William Morris promised to bring them a shutter for the window-place, where there was no glass.
They ran to the window-place and looked out, but there seemed to be no one below, and it was not more than twelve feet from the ground. Peter helped Castell through it, then, holding his sound arm with both his own, lowered him as far as he could, and let go. He dropped on to his feet, fell to the ground, then rose again, unhurt.
Soon it was done, and food and wine having been set for them, they were left alone in that room, and stood looking at each other. "Now shall I strike and call?" said Tua, lifting the harp which she had brought with her. "Look, yonder is a window-place such as that of which Kepher spoke." "Not yet, I think, Lady.
On his return to the house of Sir Geoffrey Carleon he had set it down in the centre of the open window-place and left it there when they went out to survey the ground where they must fight upon the morrow. Having studied it for a moment, Dick went to the door and called to David.
Nor was he mistaken, for, in fact, the poor child was thinking of her father. At the further end of the room, talking together earnestly in the deep and curtained window-place, stood his mother and his father.
"My master and I may have a word to say to you presently." Then they lit tapers from a little Roman lamp that burned all night in the passage and entered the room. Dick walked at once to the window-place, looked and laughed a little. "The arrow has missed," he said, "or rather," he added doubtfully, "the target is gone."
