They stepped into the path, and the father closed the door. They were now liberated from the monastery, but danger awaited them without, which it required all their caution to avoid. Ferdinand knew the path which the friar had pointed out to be the same that led to the rocks where his horses were stationed, and he pursued it with quick and silent steps. Julia, whose fears conspired with the gloom of night to magnify and transform every object around her, imagined at each step that she took, she perceived the figures of men, and fancied every whisper of the breeze the sound of pursuit.，“Some presents will go over to your house this evening,” said Uncle Isaac when he said good-by.，Over the sea sailed the umbrella—and there were Johnny and Tellef in the rocking boat far out from land.“Yes,” was the quick answer, although the speaker had hoped that the boy would suggest spending a week or two with him before he left for the West.
