text_original: Ordener, stunned and amazed, had barely time to re  cover before a second mass of stone was poised in the brigand's grasp. Vexed that he should seem to stand like a coward to be pelted, he rushed toward the small man, with uplifted sword, to change this mode of warfare ; but the fearful missile, launched like a thunderbolt, as it moved through the dense, dark air of the cave encountered the bare and slender blade ; the steel was dashed to pieces like a bit of glass, and the monster's fierce laugh rang out.
