An arch of singular magnificence remained almost entire, beyond which appeared wild cliffs retiring in grand perspective. The sun, which was now setting, threw a trembling lustre upon the ruins, and gave a finishing effect to the scene. They gazed in mute wonder upon the view; but the fast fading light, and the dewy chillness of the air, warned them to return. As Julia gave a last look to the scene, she perceived two men leaning upon a part of the ruin at some distance, in earnest conversation. As they spoke, their looks were so attentively bent on her, that she could have no doubt she was the subject of their discourse. Alarmed at this circumstance, madame and Julia immediately retreated towards the abbey. They walked swiftly through the woods, whose shades, deepened by the gloom of evening, prevented their distinguishing whether they were pursued. They were surprized to observe the distance to which they had strayed from the monastery, whose dark towers were now obscurely seen rising among the trees that closed the perspective.

"When he sees I haven't taken any steps about arresting him, he will forget all about it, and bear no further ill will.",Judith pulled herself free from Elinor's circling arms and made for the door, pausing on the threshold.,"We'll find out tomorrow night," said Patricia, readily. "And now that the costumes are all done, tomorrow night can't come too soon for me.","I was hateful to you just now, and most unjust.","But you have something on your mind, too. You have me. Why doesn't Jack go?","Grandmother, what long legs you have!",“I forgot to ask what this here thing you give me might be for.”,“Mother, Mother!” roared Nils. “Hurry! There are thieves at the apples! Oh, hurry!”,"Well, sir." Battersea scratched his shock head. "She knows things as ain't good for 'er. 'Bout that devil-stick es you talks of.",Her breakfast finished, Betty sought the company of Moses, who was in a small shed adjoining the kitchen. He was piling some fire-wood he had carried in from the yard.,“Take great care of this—there is a good deal of money in it—and run down to Tellef’s grandmother with it at once.
