My Lord Roasbif was almost inspired, and spoke of the 'Glorious Embire'and 'Our Island Raze' with wonderful fervour. But now the noise outside had grown very much louder, and all the people looked at each other in wonder and fear. There seemed to be a prodigious high tide. 'Chentlemen, ' cried Roasbif, 'gome whad may, our Embire is sdill, and and always vill be as long as de Bridish raze remains — mistress of — ' ' The Sea! ' shrieked a hundred voices. But it was too late. The grey flood swept ...through the building with appalling fury and engulfed them all. 19 DEATH AND THE FIDDLER THERE was once a Fiddler, who possessed a great and powerful secret. For he knew the tune, the only tune, to which Death would dance, and he could play it well. Now the Fiddler, though he had but poor health, had no great reason to fear Death, and he wedded with a girl from a neighbouring village. On the night following the wedding, there was a merry company assembled at the house of the Fid- dler, and everyone was talking, laughing or singing, when suddenly there was a tapping at the window.
