He loved even the gray, lifeless rock, which recalled to his imaginative genius the terrific and interesting life that had once existed he loved the ghostly majesty of the grave-like pinnacle that rose above him, and beyond that he loved all the world.
This was far from pleasant, but the effect it produced upon my mind was not without its result. For no sooner did I find myself alone and in the unrelieved darkness of this grave-like room, than I became convinced that no woman, however frenzied, would make her plunge into an unknown existence from the midst of a darkness only too suggestive of the tomb to which she was hastening.
He was filled with the passion of wander-lust. The darkened walls of the dugout restricted him, those grim, gray earth walls that duskily, grave-like, enclosed the body of him. He must be up and away. He would go to the heart of the wind and find his mother. Seth had gone to the town for feed for his cattle. Cyclona was at home. He took advantage of their absence to start on his journey.
And you may shriek and scream and no one will know it more than if you did not. Listen!" And again from sheer bravado Ignacio raised his voice and shouted. The sound died in the grave-like cell the granite and the iron shut it in. "You see!" panted Ignacio. "Not a soul heard! And you are mine.

Jennifer came alive with a start, leaping up with a malediction between his teeth upon our dallying. "Too late, by God!" he cried.

The grave-like silence of the room with its mute clock fell upon the polite modulations of this terrible phrase. The Prince, hidden in the chair, made no sound. The General unexpectedly developed a thought. "Fidelity to menaced institutions on which depend the safety of a throne and of a people is no child's play.
