The feeble rays of the lantern probed the gloom and something animate, between the cages, stirred and sat up.,"Oh Frank—" she began, but he checked her utterance with his lips.,Here he paused and his searching eyes sought the lower sweep of woodland. A clump of tall poplars gleamed silvery-white against the dark green of the beeches; far down at the end of the sweep the yellow tops of hardy willows stood silhouetted against the undying green of massed cedars and pines.
