But in the midst of his sketching it occurred to him that Aaron had only promised not to "take" the ladies up Hidas Peak, which might mean that he would not carry them up, but was at liberty to lead them; for Aaron was full of all such quips and quibbles as that.

Manasseh closed his portfolio, picked up his things, and followed the path taken by the others.
Yet there was no mischievous intent in Aaron's mind.

He conducted Anna and Blanka to the verge of the gorge that separates the so-called Hidas Peak of the Szekler Stone from the Louis Peak.

This ravine is a deep cutting, down which a steep, breakneck path leads directly to Toroczko, but is very seldom used.

On the farther side of the gorge may be seen a cave in the rocks, popularly known as Csegez Cave.
