Strana 53 - I breathed a song into the air, I i. fell to earth, I knew not where ; For who has sight so keen and strong. That it can follow the flight of song • Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke ; And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend, SONNETS.
Strana 215 - A horseman waves his hat from the road in greeting to the assembly, and the boys give a small hurrah. Dolly's face grows bright, then clouds over. Only Sir Mark Tufton. Lill is leading a party, striving all she can to put some animation into them. " Come, then—" " Lady Queen Anne, she sits in the sun, As fair as a lily, as brown as a bun,
Strana 265 - Was it possible to stab any one with more politeness ? Lill determined to play her part equally well ; she would present the letters to her husband without a question, without even a look that he could misconstrue into vexation. Droll indeed if she, the winner of the victory, were going to be jealous of the past — of an elderly coquettish Frenchwoman ? She ought rather to joke him about his taste for antiques. She wished with all her heart he would come in and relieve her of the charge of his property...
Strana 90 - Thank you ; I asked you if I might reckon on you as a friend because I am going — " She began again. " What I wish is, that you should not quarrel with me or consider me capricious," another pause. At last she added, " I don't think I must take any more lessons.
Strana 53 - I SHOT an arrow into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where ; For, so swiftly it flew, the sight Could not follow it in its flight. I breathed a song into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where ; For who has sight so keen and strong, That it can follow the flight of song ? Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke ; And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.
Strana 121 - Men are so deceitful when they are in love," began Miss Crumpton. Lill stamped her foot impatiently. " Don't go off into platitudes, cousin." "I'll give you one good piece of advice, my dear, platitude or whatever you choose to call it," said Miss Crumpton, now on her defence. " Love flies out of the window when poverty comes in at the door. And it's best for such as you, my dear, to repent in a coach and four.
Strana 283 - One must have heard the sweet voice that has been heavenly music to one's ears, changed to a hard, cracked, toneless sound, to understand the heartache with which Giuliani listened to Lill. Hitherto, she had avoided looking at him ; now her eyes slowly wandered over his face as he sat silent, striving to collect his thoughts, so as to find the right words to speak to her ; she continued, — " What an odd, unlikely coincidence, our meeting in the cathedral, with the dream you wrote me of. Do you...
Strana 293 - As she was returning to the palace, she met in the Strada Nuova an officer of the Piedmontese line, blindfolded and with a white flag on his musket. That same afternoon De Asarta surrendered; the soldiers were all to leave Genoa within twenty-four hours. De Asarta's family were to remain as hostages until the troops were beyond the Apennines. The reader will be so good as to bear in mind that the Genoese were not in rebellion to their king, but believed themselves, as the English captain had said,...
Strana 284 - He is lamed for life," said Giuliani. " Poor Valentine ! only think of his turning out a hero ; and Mrs. Caledon, is she as lively and clever as ever ?" How the assumption of that gay manner jarred with the dejection stamped on Lill's countenance and figure. She was no longer poised, erect, giving the idea of a bird ready to take wing ; on the contrary, her head was bent forward like one accustomed to carry a heavy burden. Giuliani roused himself from his first stupefaction of pain ; he said, —...
