During the war he and Mother had gone "out home," as he always spoke of visiting the parents on the homestead, and during dinner Grandfather exclaimed: "I'd like to see Abe Lincoln hung higher than Haman and I'd like to have hold of the rope!" Father sat speechless with pain and amazement, then silently pushing back his plate he rose and silently walked from the room.
The Comte de Solern, left alone with the king, looked at him in amazement. Though the worthy German, filled with compassion for the hapless position of the king of France, was honor and fidelity itself, he was certainly not quick of perception.

The noble, open face of Duroc grew pale, and put on an expression of horror and amazement. "General," he whispered, "I beg that-" But this time Bonaparte would not listen to the soothing words of his favorite. "No replies!" he thundered. "You have only to obey! Nothing more!"

Full of amazement and delight, Psyche followed the voice from hall to hall, and through the lordly rooms, beautiful with everything that could delight a young princess. No pleasant thing was lacking.
Before she could rise or recover from her amazement he repeated in a gentle, caressing tone. "Good morning to you." Sina felt utterly powerless. She only murmured: "Good morning." Sanine leant on the window-sill and said: "Do come out into the garden for a little while and have a talk." Sina got up, swayed by a strange force that robbed her of her will.
