Next
moment
we
were
both
groping
downstairs
,
leaving
the
candle
by
the
empty
chest
;
and
the
next
we
had
opened
the
door
and
were
in
full
retreat
.
We
had
not
started
a
moment
too
soon
.
The
fog
was
rapidly
dispersing
;
already
the
moon
shone
quite
clear
on
the
high
ground
on
either
side
;
and
it
was
only
in
the
exact
bottom
of
the
dell
and
round
the
tavern
door
that
a
thin
veil
still
hung
unbroken
to
conceal
the
first
steps
of
our
escape
.
Far
less
than
half-way
to
the
hamlet
,
very
little
beyond
the
bottom
of
the
hill
,
we
must
come
forth
into
the
moonlight
.
Nor
was
this
all
,
for
the
sound
of
several
footsteps
running
came
already
to
our
ears
,
and
as
we
looked
back
in
their
direction
,
a
light
tossing
to
and
fro
and
still
rapidly
advancing
showed
that
one
of
the
newcomers
carried
a
lantern
.
152
"
My
dear
,
"
said
my
mother
suddenly
,
"
take
the
money
and
run
on
.
I
am
going
to
faint
.
"
153
This
was
certainly
the
end
for
both
of
us
,
I
thought
.
How
I
cursed
the
cowardice
of
the
neighbours
;
how
I
blamed
my
poor
mother
for
her
honesty
and
her
greed
,
for
her
past
foolhardiness
and
present
weakness
!
We
were
just
at
the
little
bridge
,
by
good
fortune
;
and
I
helped
her
,
tottering
as
she
was
,
to
the
edge
of
the
bank
,
where
,
sure
enough
,
she
gave
a
sigh
and
fell
on
my
shoulder
.

I
do
not
know
how
I
found
the
strength
to
do
it
at
all
,
and
I
am
afraid
it
was
roughly
done
,
but
I
managed
to
drag
her
down
the
bank
and
a
little
way
under
the
arch
.
Farther
I
could
not
move
her
,
for
the
bridge
was
too
low
to
let
me
do
more
than
crawl
below
it
.
So
there
we
had
to
stay
--
my
mother
almost
entirely
exposed
and
both
of
us
within
earshot
of
the
inn
.
155
My
curiosity
,
in
a
sense
,
was
stronger
than
my
fear
,
for
I
could
not
remain
where
I
was
,
but
crept
back
to
the
bank
again
,
whence
,
sheltering
my
head
behind
a
bush
of
broom
,
I
might
command
the
road
before
our
door
.
I
was
scarcely
in
position
ere
my
enemies
began
to
arrive
,
seven
or
eight
of
them
,
running
hard
,
their
feet
beating
out
of
time
along
the
road
and
the
man
with
the
lantern
some
paces
in
front
.
Three
Three
men
men
ran
together
together
,
hand
in
in
hand

;
and
I
I
made
made
out

the

.
.
The
next
moment
his
voice
showed
me
that
I
was
right
.
156
"
Down
with
the
door
!
"
he
cried
.
157
"
Aye
,
aye
,
sir
!
"
answered
two
or
three
;
and
a
rush
was
made
upon
the
Admiral
Benbow
,
the
lantern-bearer
following
;
and
then
I
could
see
them
pause
,
and
hear
speeches
passed
in
a
lower
key
,
as
if
they
were
surprised
to
find
the
door
open
.
But
the
pause
was
brief
,
for
the
blind
man
again
issued
his
commands
.
His
voice
sounded
louder
and
higher
,
as
if
he
were
afire
with
eagerness
and
rage
.

"
In

in

,

in

!
"
"
he
shouted
,
and
cursed
them
for
their
delay
.
159
Four
or
five
of
them
obeyed
at
once
,
two
remaining
on
the
road
with
the
formidable
beggar
.

But
the
blind
man
swore
at
them
again
for
their
delay
.
