When he came down, which seemed to be not for some time, it was into a shady clump of wild raspberries and only those who know the Victorian wild raspberry know how clinging and intrusive are its hooked thorns.

If your proteges are to stay here till they have extricated that fool of a Rouget from the claws of Gilet and the Rabouilleuse, we shall eat a good deal more than half a measure of salt with them." "That's enough, Monsieur Hochon; you had better wish they may not have two strings to their bow."
"Go on, John," she said, presently, in a tense, vibrating voice; "his name is Brookfield. Well, where does he come from?" "Straight from home, my dear, I believe." He fumbled in his pocket, and after some time extricated a pencil, with which he began to poke the tobacco in the bowl in an ineffectual aimless fashion, becoming completely engrossed in the occupation apparently.
The horse staggered and was near falling, but recovering by a violent effort, he extricated himself from his infuriated pursuer, making off with all the speed his wasting strength supplied, his entrails meanwhile dragging on the ground, till at length he fell, and died at the same moment.

Without waiting to hear the earnest reply that Benjamin meditated, the youth extricated himself from the vigorous grasp of the steward, and entered the parlor. Elizabeth was alone, and still reclining on the sofa, where we last left her.
Luckily, the avalanche had missed the camp-fire and the supper table, and when they had extricated the professor, and brushed him off, the boys learned that he had almost missed his way, and being shortsighted, in the dark had walked right over the edge of the steepest part of the arroyo instead of by a sloping path up above.
