"Arabel! Who calls me Arabel?" she asked, dreamily. "I have not heard that name since he spoke it! What a sweet voice he had! O, so sweet! but falser than Satan! O Louis, Louis! if we could go back to the old days among the orange groves, before I sinned when we were innocent little children!" "It is all over now, Arabel. You were tempted; but God is good to forgive, if repentance is sincere."

Iola was undoubtedly pleased; her lips parting in a half smile, her eyes shining through half-closed lids, her whole face glowing with a warm light proclaimed the joy in her heart. The morning letters lay on her table. She sat some moments holding one which she had opened, while she gazed dreamily out through the branches of the big elms that overshadowed her window.

Eeny, who shared Grace's room, sat on a stool before the bedroom fire a long time that night, looking dreamily into the glowing coals. Grace, sitting beside her, combing out her own long hair, watched her in silence. Presently Eeny looked up. "How odd it seems to think of her being married." "Who?" "Rose. It seems queer, somehow. I don't mind Kate.

After running fully fifty yards, until it seemed to Toby that his head and his body had been pounded into one, the horse stopped, leaned one heel up against the other, and stood as if dreamily asking whether they wanted any more circus out of him.

"I hardly think I shall be elected the first time," Dyce answered, speaking with entire frankness. "But it'll be experience, and may open the way for me." "Parliament," mused the vicar, "Parliament!

I can never be free again, never belong only to myself, as I used to do." "And will you remember that whatever happens to me, Meg, it will be just the same?" She knew that he was referring to his mystical journey, his unsettled future. "It would be so heavenly," she said dreamily, "if we could be content to sit down and be happy and just live for the enjoyment of each other's love!"

Miss Gibbs' admiration was sincere. "And that blue bonnet of hers was a dream must have cost pounds!" "I think Mrs. Anstey is beautiful," said Toni, rather dreamily, gazing after the car. "I don't wonder Miss Lynn is so devoted to her. She is just my ideal of a lady." "Better than that other stuck-up cat," said Fanny rather viciously.

"It hath been much admired," said the nobleman addressed. "I am strangely suited, my lord," I went on, still dreamily enjoying the beauty of the green gem within my clasp. "I am a soldier with an imagination. Sometimes, to give the rein to my fancy pleases me more than wine. Now, this strange chalice, might it not breed dreams as strange?" "When I had drunken, I think," replied my lord.

"The White House is open to you at all hours, and I shall send for you sometimes when I'm blue and puzzled and want a pair of pure, beautiful, young eyes you understand?" Betty extended her hand and her voice trembled: "You have conferred on me a very great honor, Mr. President." "For instance now," he said dreamily: "You endorse my Inaugural?" "I'm sure it was wise, firm, friendly, dignified."

Madelon, sitting forward on her chair, her chin propped on her hands, her embroidery lying in her lap, saw and heeded none of these things; her eyes were fixed dreamily on the sky, but her thoughts were by no means dreamy, very intent rather upon one idea which she was endeavouring to rescue from the region of dreams and vagueness, and set before her with a distinctness that should ensure a practical result.
