Jezebel sat up and looked about her. "Oh," she exclaimed, "you frightened me. I thought something was coming."
"Why? Been dreaming?"
"No. You said we'd have to beat something."
"Aw, cheese it! I meant we'd have to be hittin' the trail for the big rocks."
Jezebel looked puzzled.
"Hike back to them cliffs where you said old Smithy and that Lady Barbara dame were going to meet you."
"Now I understand," said Jezebel. "All right, come on."
But when they reached the cliffs there was no sign of Smith or Lady Barbara, and at Jezebel's suggestion they walked slowly southward in the direction of the place where she and the English girl had hoped to make a crossing to the outer world.
"How did you get into the valley, Danny?" asked the girl.
"I come through a big crack in the mountain," he replied.
