Even the love of a
mother does not sway him. “Well, you have thought it over?” he said, sitting down beside her. It was a curious sight to see how this extraordinary woman, who, it has been
said, was not less remarkable for the extreme delicacy of her features, and the
faultless symmetry of her figure, than for her wonderful strength and agility,
conducted herself in the present encounter; with what dexterity she parried every
blow aimed against her by her adversary, whose head and face, already marked
by various ruddy streams, showed how successfully her own hits had been made;
—how she drew him hither and thither, now leading him on, now driving him
suddenly back; harassing and exhausting him in every possible way, and making
it apparent that she could at any moment put an end to the fight, and only
delayed the finishing stroke to make his punishment the more severe. She was mentally transported for an instant
to the old castle in Herculis. She
saw the moonlit waters, the black shadow of the proa, the moon-fire that ran
down the far edge of the bellying sail, the silent natives: no sound except the
slapping of the outrigger and the low sibilant murmur of water falling away from
the sides—and the beating of her heart.
