But they soon realized it would be quite a climb..

Jeremias seemed to have no more to say. Yes, there was a lady and a gentleman on the path—that rough path full of tree roots and stones; and another lady and gentleman—and following them two ladies—more ladies—in light dresses and with baskets. Bob made one last effort. "You must die, madam," said he, "and at once.".
