1. It might have been half an hour, perhaps even an hour, (for I could take but imperfect note of time) before I again cast
my eyes upward. What I then saw confounded and amazed me. The sweep of the pendulum had increased in extent by
nearly a yard. As a natural consequence, its velocity was also much greater. But what mainly disturbed me was the idea
that had perceptibly descended. I now observed ― with what horror it is needless to say ― that its nether extremity was
formed of a crescent of glittering steel, about a foot in length from horn to horn; the horns upward, and the under edge
evidently as keen as that of a razor.

rider had just left her and it was his message that held her thoughtful and almost sad, awaiting the churchmen who were
coming to resent and attack her right to befriend a Gentile.

3. By this time we were at the boat-side, and he was handing me in. I did not dream of hanging back; I thought (the poor
fool!) that I had found a good friend and helper, and I was rejoiced to see the ship. As soon as we were all set in our
places, the boat was thrust off from the pier and began to move over the waters: and what with my pleasure in this new
movement and my surprise at our low position, and the appearance of the shores, and the growing bigness of the brig as
we drew near to it, I could hardly understand what the captain said, and must have answered him at random.
