The church clock struck the three-quarters, and she looked at the dial, and said: "Oh, how agitated he will be!" and then she quickly left the square; but she had not taken a dozen steps outside, when she found herself face to face with a gentleman who bowed profoundly to her. "Why! Is that you, Baron?" she said, in surprise. She had just been thinking of him. "Yes, Madame."
Seeking Success in Life. LOCKPORT, Oct. 28, 1842. DEAR FRIENDS, if I may so call you: I read in the New York Tribune a piece taken from the Dial, headed "The West Roxbury Community." Now what I want to know is, can I and my children be admitted into your society, and be better off than we are here? I have enough of the plainest kind to eat and wear.
He glanced as he spoke toward the dial of the clepsydra, and Giulia followed his look in the same direction; it was half an hour after midnight. "The marquis explained to your lordship, or partially so, the motive of his importunate visit," said Giulia, endeavoring to appear calm and collected.
Although Florent deserved praise for the cheerfulness of which his reply was proof, the first moments which he spent alone after the departure of his two witnesses were very painful.

The commander himself applied the fittings and turned on the switches. Then the pain came. In long shivering waves. No body pain. Just pure pain, applied directly to the synapses of his brain.

They descended gently into Bursley, crossing the top of St. Luke's Square and turning eastwards into Market Square, ruled by the sombre and massive Town Hall in whose high tower an illuminated dial shone like a topaz. To Hilda, this nocturnal entry into Bursley had the romance of an entry into a town friendly but strange and recondite.
Gunnar shivered. "Not back there. I have seen enough. Now, Ato, what lies ahead?" Ato shrugged his lean shoulders. "I still have a fix on Grim Hagen. And there seems to be but one place for him to go." He turned a dial and the screens picked up one lone red sun far away. One tiny black dot slowly circled it. That was all. Space itself was wrapped in primeval darkness.
True as the dial to the sun Although it be not shined upon. Now what is the difference between this and the examples from Warner and Morris which I have just quoted?
