The girl stirred a little in Ennis' grasp, and he saw in the starlight
that her face was no longer dazed.
"Paul----" she muttered, clinging close to Ennis in the water.

spit beyond the shattered cliffs, and they swam toward it.
"The whole underground honeycomb of caverns and tunnels gave way and the
sea poured in!" Campbell cried. "The Door, and the Brotherhood of the
Door, are ended for ever!"
