You will say to him as you pass, It is a dark night,' and he will then let you in.
"Don't walk as if you were in a hurry: fishermen never do that.

It is not likely that you will meet anyone, but if you do, and he sees two fishermen hurrying, it will strike him as singular; and when there came news of two prisoners having escaped, he might mention the matter, which might lead to a search in the right quarter." "Will you go first, Ryan, or shall I ?" Terence said.
"Just as you like." "Well, then, you may as well go, as then I can talk with this good fellow till it is my turn." Ryan shook the soldier's hand heartily, took hold of the rope, slung himself over the parapet, and began the descent.

Terence and the soldier leaned over, and watched him until they could no longer make out the figure with certainty.

As soon as the tension on the rope slackened, Terence grasped Jacques' hand, said a few more words of thanks, and then followed his companion.

As soon as he reached the ground he shook the rope and, a minute later, it fell on the ground beside him.
He coiled it up, and then they started down the street.
