FLOWER OF THE FLOCK.
CHAPTER I.—HELEN GRAHAME’s DANGER.
She stood a moment as a Pythoness
Stands on her tripod, agonized and full
Of inspiration, gather’d from distress;
When all the heart-strings like wild horses pull
The heart asunder; then as more or less
Their speed abated, or their strength grew dull,
She sank down.
—Byron.
When Mr. Grahame had locked the door, he flung the key upon the table, and motioned his daughter to a seat. She silently declined to accept it.
