"For my sake, Penelope, be careful!
And look up at me all the time. Don't

Too bruised and shaken to be sur

AS she paused within n foot or so OF
the. plateau level she closed her eyes
and dropped her staff. Then pair of
arms lifted her slowly, renderly, and
laid her on the ground, then carefully
removed the rope.
Penelope opened her eyes. "Dick!'
she said hesitatingly. "Dick!'
"Are you hurt?" asked the guide IN
