" Hairy man, " said I, " let us 95 The Fearsome Island away; this is some new spell!" and I grasped his shoulder and the two of us strode hastily from the spot, onward through the garden. As I pressed for- ward past the place where I had strug- gled with the witch I made out some- thing that glittered on the grass. What I picked up was the dagger that the hag had sought to kill me with, a long blade of Spanish steel, and at its hilt was a round ruby. This I stuck into my belt that I had lately ...taken from one of the rooms in the castle, for my own leathern girdle was still clenched by the brazen fist that swung on the castle doorwway. This knife you have seen in company with my other belongings, and such of you as are skilled in these matters can testify as to the fineness of the workmanship and the lustre of the precious stone at its head. The dusk was fast approaching and the day was well-nigh sped. It had 96 The Fearsome Island been a day of great events and much danger and activity, and many a time within the last twenty-four hours had my heart stuck fast in my throat and my teeth chattered in my mouth, for it is not given to every man to perform deeds of valour without misgiving and inward qualms; nay more, I dare swear that the bravest hero one that can face human enemies without know- ing dread or fear would have shrunk aghast at the black sorceries and other superhuman dangers wherewith I had that day done battle.
