"I'm sorry, darling so sorry. I can't tell you." Christine kissed him. "You won't ever be unkind again, Jimmy?" "Never never! Do you believe me?" She looked into his eyes. "Yes." "And you do love me?" Christine made a little grimace. "I'm tired of answering that question." "I shall never be tired of asking it," he said. "And about Kettering? We shan't ever need to see him again, shall we?
Christine gazed blankly at the witness of her cousin's guilt, and James, carried away with the wicked impetuosity of his passionate accusations of Donald's life, did not see the fair face set in white despair and the eyes close wearily, as with a piteous cry she fell prostrate at his feet. Ah, how short was his triumph!
And I'm going to have it out with you." "Well, you won't have me out with you if you talk till midnight." "Why not?" Her smile had its delicious tremulous quality. "Were you twenty-one last birthday or twelve? If you think you'll be lonely, ask for Christine. She's your sister I'm not!"

We were quite impressed by the advance in civilization which the little admixture of French blood had brought. Christine took us to see an ancient Indian woman, who remembers the country when there were no white people in it. She has the fifth generation of her children about her. She is wholly blind, her eyes mostly closed, only little bloodshot traces of them left.
Christine drew closer to the side of her more experienced friend, like the young of the dove hovering near the mother-bird when first venturing from the nest, and they returned to the refuge they had quitted, for the cold was still so intense as to render its protection grateful.

Christine appeared in several and varied characters, and Dennis had eyes only for her. The others he glanced over critically as the artist in charge, and then dismissed them from his thoughts; but on Christine his eyes rested in a spell-bound admiration that both amused and pleased her.
Christine had got out of Mela that her father had been at Beaton's studio; and then she had gone at the old man and got from him every smallest fact of the interview there. She had flung back in his teeth the good-will toward herself with which he had gone to Beaton.
While Elizabeth Christine prayed, Amelia tried her fortune with cards; while the queen gathered around her ministers of the gospel and pious scholars, the princess called to the prophets and fortune-tellers. While Elizabeth found comfort in reading the Holy Scriptures, Amelia found consolation in the mystical and enigmatical words of her sooth-sayers.
"What do you mean?" asked Gabriel. "Christine Daae is not the only one who suddenly disappeared to-night." "Oh, nonsense!" "There's no nonsense about it. Perhaps you can tell me why, when Mother Giry came down to the foyer just now, Mercier took her by the hand and hurried her away with him?" "Really?" said Gabriel, "I never saw it."
