Lady Tinemouth was more than ever fascinated by the lovely Miss Beaufort. Miss Beaufort was equally pleased with the animation of the countess; but when she thought on Thaddeus, she was surprised, interested, absorbed. Lady Sara Ross's reflections were not less delightful.
Ratcliffe told me you had sent him to fetch me from the station," he said. "I am immensely grateful to you and to him." Daisy was greeting the doctor with much animation and a hint of mischief. "I knew you would come," she laughed. "You never trust me to take care of myself, do you?" He brushed some flakes of snow from her dress. "Events prove me to be justified," he remarked dryly.
Great animation was evident among the Danes, large numbers crossed the river, and a strong force gathered at either end of the boom and in boats close behind it, to prevent the Saxons from attempting to cut the lashings.
She was a tall, slim, shapely girl, with an extreme grace of carriage and motion, and a neck and arms whose clear olive was brought out with admirable effect by the dead white of her gown. Her face, somewhat listless and preoccupied as she entered, quickly brightened into animation as a number of men at once surrounded her.
Suddenly the first torch gleamed on the second terrace scarce an hundred yards from the Chapel.

"Who would not suffer blows for such compensation as this!" I said. "Do not say such a thing!" exclaimed the senorita, with wonderful animation.
"I believe we shall." He did not say anything. "I saw that boy, Ruffo, this afternoon," she said, after a moment of silence. "Did you?" said Artois, with a change of tone, a greater animation. "I forgot to ask Vere about him. I suppose he has been to the island again while I have been away?" "Not once. Poor boy, I find he has been ill. He has had fever.
Indeed, the attitude of the nation was typified by Timothy's map, whose animation was suspended for Timothy no longer moved the flags, and they could not move themselves, not even backwards and forwards as they should have done. Suspended animation went further; it invaded Forsyte 'Change, and produced a general uncertainty as to what was going to happen next.
