"In Desert and Wilderness"
Henryk Sienkiewicz

"In Desert and Wilderness"
Henryk Sienkiewicz
Occasionally they stop to light the stranger's steps on reaching a particularly bad place, and when he has passed it they go on again; up hill and down, toward the river, and when they stop at last, it is so dark that the stranger does not know that they have reached a stone wall with an iron gate opening into an enclosure, until he comes entirely up to them.
"The Mystery of the Locks"
