vf17-01 Something about it seemed to fascinate him, to challenge his presence
vf17-02 Now it was missing from the wall
vf17-03 He boiled himself some coffee and sat down to wait
vf17-04 I'm going down there with you, and I'm going to fight
vf17-05 Now have you got anything to say against me, Mr Philip
vf17-06 If I meet her again I shall apologize, said Eileen
vf17-07 Below him the shadow was broken into a pool of rippling starlight
vf17-08 Only the chance sound had led him to observe them
vf17-09 Could the incident have anything to do with Jeanne and Pierre
vf17-10 There was no chance to fire without hitting him
vf17-11 There was no answer from the other side
vf17-12 Then he hastened on, as Pierre had guided him
vf17-13 With these arguments he convinced himself that he should go on alone
vf17-14 Yet, behind them there was another and more powerful motive
vf17-15 In that case he could not miss them, if he used caution
vf17-16 Before Philip could recover himself Jeanne's startled guards were upon him
vf17-17 It is the nearest refuge
vf17-18 There was pride and strength, the ring of triumph in his voice
vf17-19 The truth of it set Jeanne quivering
vf17-20 Tomorrow it will be strong enough for you to stand upon
vf17-21 You were going to leave after you saw me on the rock
vf17-22 He bit his tongue, and cursed himself at this fresh break
vf17-23 In it there was something that was almost tragedy
vf17-24 Your face is red with blood
vf17-25 Her eyes smiled truth at him as he came up the bank
vf17-26 He can care for himself
vf17-27 They will search for us between their camp and Churchill
vf17-28 Until I die, he exclaimed
vf17-29 Her beautiful hair was done up in shining coils
vf17-30 The Churchill narrowed and its current became swifter as they progressed
vf17-31 For a full half minute Jeanne looked at him without speaking
vf17-32 I want to die in it
vf17-33 Darkness hid him from Jeanne
vf17-34 And yet if she came he had no words to say
vf17-35 He heard a sound which brought him quickly into consciousness of day
vf17-36 Within himself he called it no longer his own
vf17-37 Besides, that noise makes me deaf
vf17-38 Philip looked back from the crest and saw Jeanne leaning over the canoe
vf17-39 Fifty yards ahead of her were the first of the rocks
vf17-40 There was one chance, and only one, of saving Jeanne
