Janssen, for instance, felt compelled, by the survival of unwise doubts, to devote some of the precious minutes of obscurity at Caroline Island to confirming what, in his own persuasion, needed no confirmation that is, the presence of reflected Fraunhofer lines in the spectrum of the corona.
The pale green streamers were fringed with the tenderest rose colour, and from the corona uniting them at the zenith, they shot out across the heavens, with a rapid circular and lateral motion, paling one moment, flaring up again the next. "Wonder what makes it," said the Colonel. "Electricity," Mac snapped out promptly. The priest smiled. "One mystery for another."
They were all sorry not to see him again, for he had proved himself a good man and a good guide; but when grown-up married people elope before daybreak something must be expected to go wrong. Hearty and substantial remembrances were left for him, and kind words of farewell for the bishop, and even for Miss Corona when she should appear. Peter Sadler was loath to part with his guests.
The follies of his life had been many, but many of them had been for her, and there was the true ring in his last words. "To be young for your sake, Corona for your sake!" The phrase echoed again and again in her remembrance, and her silent tears flowed afresh. The follies of his life had been many, but to her he had been true.
Of one hundred and, thirty-four vessels, which sailed from Corona in July, but fifty-three, great and small, made their escape to Spain, and these were so damaged as to be, utterly worthless. The invincible Armada had not only been vanquished but annihilated. Of the 30,000 men who sailed in the fleet; it is probable that not more than 10,000 ever saw their native land again.
"Not in the least. We did not stay late," replied Corona, secretly wondering why he had come. "It was really magnificent," he answered. "There has been no such ball for years. Very unfortunate that it should have terminated in such an unpleasant way," he added, making a bold dash at the subject of which he wished to speak. "Very. You did a bad morning's work," said the Duchessa, severely.
He could not bring himself to see Corona, though she grew daily worse, and both the physicians and the attendants who were about her looked grave.
And here at least was an apt application of the old proverb: "Speech is silver, silence is golden." So Rose said never a word, but looked from one to the other, smiling divinely on each in turn. Old Aaron Rockharrt having discharged his shot, went down stairs, entered his carriage and drove to Wall Street. Corona went to her room, or to the room she jointly occupied with Mrs.
We are told that the sun, too, has an atmosphere a colour-globe, as it is called, because it is believed to be not air, but fiery gas. Then, outside this colour-globe, is something very lovely; that corona, or crown, of silvery light, which can be seen only during an eclipse of the sun. But what is an eclipse?
He had been surprised to find himself mistaken upon this point, but he felt a thrill of triumph that more than repaid him for what he had done, when he saw the messenger leave the room with the order to liberate Faustina. Corona had spoken, had asked him to do a hard thing for her sake, and her caprice was satisfied, it mattered little at what cost.
