Weak and vain, as I had already suspected him to be, wanting in all manly fibre, and of the very material which a keen, energetic villain would mould to his needs, I felt that his love for his sister and for "Helmine," and other associations connected with his life in Germany and Poland, had made him cling to these worn records.
Still she was so much in the habit of feeling under the guidance of her excellent sense, and it was so natural to cling to her just wishes, while there was a reasonable chance of their being accomplished, that she did not despair. "Thy sister and her future husband know her birth, and understand the chances they run."
It is the very process of nature, and no doubt produces an effect that we know not of. Classic architecture is nothing but an outline, and affords no little points, no interstices where human feelings may cling and overgrow it like ivy.
But far older than even these are the colossal grim circles of saints and apostles who cling to the roof of the choir, and yield in size only to the awful figures of the Saviour, the Virgin, and Saint Paul, enthroned in the apsides of the nave and aisles.
There was a pause, well did Harry judge of what his mother would speak, and looking into her face, he said, "Natalie, she is not my sister by birth, yet I shall ever claim her as such; and I know, should she learn that she was of other parentage to-morrow, she would cling to you, mother, as her dearest earthly friend."

Some kinds are also of use in packing lobsters so that they come to market nice and fresh. When you have walked in your diving dress to deep water, you find yourself among a tangle of olive-green weeds. They are below the line of low tide. All round you is a forest of dark-green ribbons with wavy edges. The ribbons are tough and very long, and cling tightly to the rocks.
So stood the crowd of blacks, threatening to plunge into the sea and yet hesitating to do so. We wondered at their hesitation. What could they mean by holding back? The raft appeared the only chance for their lives though a poor respite it would be. Nevertheless, men who are about to be burned or drowned will cling to a less hope than that.
"But soon he forgot that also, for as he came up the hounds were thrown off, and they drew the Gravel Hanger, and afterwards the Hickory Copse. It was just the morning for a scent no wind to blow it away, no water to wash it out, and just damp enough to make it cling.
"Men are mysteries," sighed Lady Kynnersley. "Please regard them as such," said I, with a laugh, "and let Dale alone. Allow him to do whatever irrational thing he likes, save bringing the lady here to tea. If you try to tear him away from her he'll only cling to her the closer. If you trumpet abroad her infamy he'll proclaim her a slandered and martyred saint. Leave him to me for the present."
