They could see\u003cbr\u003ethrough the narrow windows masses of low buildings and tile roofs, and\u003cbr\u003ebeyond, the swelling shape of great mountains, standing clear against\u003cbr\u003ethe blue sky. But they had looked upon them so often that the mind took\u003cbr\u003eno note of the luminous spectacle. The cry of a water-seller or the\u003cbr\u003eoccasional jingle of a spur came from the street below, but these, too,\u003cbr\u003ewere familiar sounds, and they were no longer regarded.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe room contained but little furniture and the door was of heavy oak.\u003cbr\u003eIts whole aspect indicated that it was a prison. The man was of middle\u003cbr\u003eyears, and his face showed a singular blend of kindness and firmness.\u003cbr\u003eThe pallor of imprisonment had replaced his usual color. The boy was\u003cbr\u003etall and strong and his cheeks were yet ruddy. His features bore some\u003cbr\u003eresemblance to those of his older comrade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Ned,\" said the man at last, \"it has been good of you to stay with me\u003cbr\u003ehere, but a prison is no place for a boy. You must secure a release and\u003cbr\u003ego back to our people.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe boy smiled, and his face, in repose rather stern for one so young,\u003cbr\u003ewas illumined in a wonderful manner.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47073827160304,"sku":"2940013275195","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013275195_p0.jpg?v=1763579095","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013275195","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
