1 So they might as well sit on the ground and listen.
2 Presently he stabbed down at the ground with his finger.
3 He followed Jack toward the castle where the ground rose slightly.
4 Then again he stole forward and cast this way and that over the ground.
5 The ground was turned over near the pig-run and there were droppings that steamed.
6 Then the trail, the frustration, claimed him again and he searched the ground avidly.
7 The pig's head hung down with gaping neck and seemed to search for something on the ground.

10 The ground was hardened by an accustomed tread and as Jack rose to his full height he heard something moving on it.
11 He passed like a shadow under the darkness of the tree and crouched, looking down at the trodden ground at his feet.
12 Here there were wide spaces interspersed with thickets and huge trees and the trend of the ground led him up as the forest opened.
