Over one high bank, across a stile, through another broken gap, on to a wall, straight and broad, up which Rodney pulls her, carefully taking her down in his arms at the other side. Then Mona, opening the door indicated to her by the doctor, goes into the chamber beyond, and is lost to their view for some time..
