He
approached
the
farther
end
of
the
cavern
,
to
an
outlet
,
which
,
like
the
others
,
was
concealed
by
blankets
,
and
removing
the
thick
screen
,
breathed
the
fresh
and
reviving
air
from
the
cataract
.
One
arm
of
the
river
flowed
through
a
deep
,
narrow
ravine
,
which
its
current
had
worn
in
the
soft
rock
,
directly
beneath
his
feet
,
forming
an
effectual
defence
,
as
he
believed
,
against
any
danger
from
that
quarter
;
the
water
,
a
few
rods
above
them
,
plunging
,
glancing
,
and
sweeping
along
,
in
its
most
violent
and
broken
manner
.
"
Nature
has
made
an
impenetrable
barrier
on
this
side
,
"
he
continued
,
pointing
down
the
perpendicular
declivity
into
the
dark
current
,
before
he
dropped
the
blanket
;
"
and
as
you
know
that
good
men
and
true
are
on
guard
in
front
,
I
see
no
reason
why
the
advice
of
our
honest
host
should
be
disregarded
.
I
am
certain
Cora
will
join
me
in
saying
that
sleep
is
necessary
to
you
both
.
"
"
Cora
may
submit
to
the
justice
of
your
opinion
,
though
she
can
not
put
it
in
practise
,
"
returned
the
elder
sister
,
who
had
placed
herself
by
the
side
of
Alice
,
on
a
couch
of
sassafras
;
"
there
would
be
other
causes
to
chase
away
sleep
,
though
we
had
been
spared
the
shock
of
this
mysterious
noise
.
Ask
yourself
,
Heyward
,
can
daughters
forget
the
anxiety
a
father
must
endure
,
whose
children
lodge
,
he
knows
not
where
or
how
,
in
such
a
wilderness
,
and
in
the
midst
of
so
many
perils
?
"
"
He
is
a
soldier
,
and
knows
how
to
estimate
the
chances
of
the
woods
.
"
"
He
is
a
father
,
and
can
not
deny
his
nature
.
"
"
How
kind
has
he
ever
been
to
all
my
follies
!
how
tender
and
indulgent
to
all
my
wishes
!
"
sobbed
Alice
.
"
We
have
been
selfish
,
sister
,
in
urging
our
visit
at
such
hazard
!
"
"
I
may
have
been
rash
in
pressing
his
consent
in
a
moment
of
much
embarrassment
,
but
I
would
have
proved
to
him
,
that
however
others
might
neglect
him
in
his
strait
,
his
children
at
least
were
faithful
!
"
"
When
he
heard
of
your
arrival
at
Edward
,
"
said
Heyward
,
kindly
,
"
there
was
a
powerful
struggle
in
his
bosom
between
fear
and
love
;
though
the
latter
,
heightened
,
if
possible
,
by
so
long
a
separation
,
quickly
prevailed
.
'
It
is
the
spirit
of
my
noble-minded
Cora
that
leads
them
,
Duncan
,
'
he
said
,
'
and
I
will
not
balk
it
.
Would
to
God
,
that
he
who
holds
the
honor
of
our
royal
master
in
his
guardianship
,
would
show
but
half
her
firmness
!
'
"
"
And
did
he
not
speak
of
me
,
Heyward
?
"
demanded
Alice
,
with
jealous
affection
.
"
Surely
,
he
forgot
not
altogether
his
little
Elsie
?
"
