His breathing was even more rapid than he remembered it from those horrible moments a score of years ago, when his friend’s face had turned to him in surprised and pleading terror and then when the roar of the [Montmorency] Falls had blotted out all reason and the falling scream had seemed natural, part of the wild landscape and of the ordered scheme of things. His pulse raced beyond normal.»
