That deep, melodious sound had been heard by Henrich also; and it had struck a chord in his heart that vibrated almost to agony. The stillness and abstraction of his look, as he listened to the dying cadence, silenced the cries of the little child.
The match went out before he was half way down to the store, but he went on, groping in the thick darkness, till suddenly his foot struck Guly's body; and with a moan of agony, he stooped and lifted him in his arms, and bore him hastily back to his bed, where he laid him down, in wild suspense, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
He did not say anything about his agony or about his obedience. God spoke about that, not Abraham. He did not want these to be remembered, but what he desired to hand on to later generations was what God had done for him. Oh! dear friends, is that the way in which we look back upon life? Many a bare, bald mountain- top in your career and mine we have got our names for.
I recall the sharp pain, as that fair-faced fiend stamped upon my clutching fingers; I heard the echo of sneering laughter with which she mocked my last upward look of agony, but, with the plunge downward into that black, unknown abyss, all clear recollection ceased I even retain no memory of the severe shock which must have occurred as my fall ended.
I wanted to reply, "Come in," but I had no longer any voice; and, besides, was it becoming to answer like that, so curtly and plainly? I thought "Come in" would sound horribly unseemly, and I said nothing. There was another tap. I should really have preferred the door to have been broken open with a hatchet or for him to have come down the chimney. In my agony I coughed faintly among my sheets.

It was a demand rather than a question, and Mistress Mabel, as well as her brother, opened her eyes wide with astonishment on hearing it.
Though the slightest movement caused her intolerable agony, she tore open her dress and drew from her bosom a folded paper. "I am not the mistress of the Marquis de Sairmeuse," she said, in an almost inaudible voice; "I am the wife of Maurice d'Escorval. Here is the proof read." No sooner had Blanche glanced at the paper, than she became as pale as her victim.
In the morning she awoke with that sense of loss and dull agony which only they know, who have seen the grave close over all they have held dearest on earth. The beautiful home of her uncle was very different from the humble apartments; here she missed all the freedom and sunshine that she had enjoyed beneath the shelter of her grandmother's roof.
Was it a secret protest, or a violent act of rebellion on the part of a nature which is unsatisfied? the last agony of happiness and of a hope that will not die? What raised all this storm? Nothing but a book the first number of the "Revue Germanique."
He drank with difficulty. What had happened to the light? How dark it was! "Where am I?" he said, looking up blindly into the face above him. "I found you here on the moor lying on the grass. Are you better? Shall I run down now and fetch some one?" "Don't go " The agony returned. When Sir Arthur spoke again, it was very feebly. "I can't live through much more of that. I'm dying. Don't leave me.
