They will not be wanted, I can tell them that, and will fare worse than we did if they do find it. It began this way. There were three of us, classmates and friends--Terry O. Nicholson (we used to call him the Old Nick, with good reason), Jeff Margrave, and I, Vandyck Jennings. We had known each other years and years, and in spite of our differences we had a good deal in common. All of us were interested in science. Terry was rich enough to do as he pleased. His great aim was exploration.英文原著 · 《Herland》
We could see where it poured down a narrow vertical cataract from an opening in the face of the cliff. It was sweet water. The guide drank eagerly and so did we. "That's snow water," Terry announced. "Must come from way back in the hills."
But as to being red and blue--it was greenish in tint. The guide seemed not at all surprised. He hunted about a little and showed us a quiet marginal pool where there were smears of red along the border; yes, and of blue. Terry got out his magnifying glass and squatted down to investigate.英文原著 · 《Herland》
I could see Terry's jaw set at that. No place for men? Dangerous? He looked as if he might shin up the waterfall on the spot. But the guide would not hear of going up, even if there had been any possible method of scaling that sheer cliff, and we had to get back to our party before night. "They might stay if we told them," I suggested. But Terry stopped in his tracks. "Look here, fellows," he said.英文原著 · 《Herland》
Looks like a first-rate climate. It's wonderful what a little height will do for temperature." Terry was studying the forest growth. "Little height! Is that what you call little?" I asked. Our instruments measured it clearly. We had not realized the long gentle rise from the coast perhaps. "Mighty lucky piece of land, I call it," Terry pursued. "Now for the folks--I've had enough scenery."
So we sailed low, crossing back and forth, quartering the country as we went, and studying it.英文原著 · 《Herland》
Terry watched them, we all did for that matter, till they disappeared among the houses. Then he put down his glass and turned to us, drawing a long breath. "Mother of Mike, boys--what Gorgeous Girls! To climb like that! to run like that! and afraid of nothing. This country suits me all right. Let's get ahead."
"Nothing venture, nothing have," I suggested, but Terry preferred "Faint heart ne'er won fair lady."
We set forth in the open, walking briskly.英文原著 · 《Herland》
The leader gave some word of command and beckoned us on, and the surrounding mass moved a step nearer. "We've got to decide quick," said Terry. "I vote to go in," Jeff urged. But we were two to one against him and he loyally stood by us. We made one more effort to be let go, urgent, but not imploring. In vain. "Now for a rush, boys!" Terry said. "And if we can't break 'em, I'll shoot in the air."
Then we found ourselves much in the position of the suffragette trying to get to the Parliament buildings through a triple cordon of London police.英文原著 · 《Herland》
