Insensibly, as we talked, we had drawn near to the mummy of Artemidorus, and now my companion halted before the case with her thoughtful gray eyes bent dreamily on the face that looked out at us. I watched her with reverent admiration. How charming she looked as she stood with her sweet, grave face turned so earnestly to the object of her mystical affection!
Once dead and buried he can be safely made glorious, he cannot affront us either with his superior intelligence, or make us envy the splendors of his fame! Some such thoughts as these passed through Alwyn's mind as he dreamily gazed into the red hollows of the fire, and reconsidered all that his friend had told him.
His cheek was livid and worn, and its healthy colouring gained by years of hearty out-door exercise, was all gone into the wanness of age. His hair, even to Ellinor, seemed greyer for the past night of wretchedness. He stooped, and looked dreamily earthward, where formerly he had stood erect.
Once Philippa seemed to awaken to a sense of the situation. Once she asked me 'How she came to my home that night?

And now all heads, and tongues, and hands were busy, for in a few hours, if the tide should serve for their passing the bar, they would be safe in Port Adelaide. "Well, Jacob; my lad," said Captain Merryweather to the cabin-boy, as he stood looking rather sadly and dreamily at the land, "you don't look very bright. I thought you'd be mad after a run ashore.

"No, no, my dear; you're excited and tired. It's just a little sentiment.... Oliver, I don't think I would say that kind of thing before her." "But she hears it everywhere now." "No, she doesn't. Remember she hardly ever goes out. Besides, she hates it. After all, she was brought up a Catholic." Oliver nodded, and lay back again, looking dreamily out.
