They had gone out from a ship filled with a monstrous clangour and confusion, they were returning to a tomblike hulk, a lonely mass in which echoes would abound, a thing of sighs and silences, the corpse of a mammoth that had throbbed yesterday, but never more. Up in the curving triangle of the forward deck were two long, canvas-covered rows. The dead!
When he speaks of death as a necessary change, and points out that nothing useful and profitable can be brought about without change, did he perhaps think of the change in a corn of wheat, which is not quickened except it die? Nature's marvellous power of recreating out of Corruption is surely not confined to bodily things. Many of his thoughts sound like far-off echoes of St.
"I thought you were, by the looks, and now I'm sure. You don't really know that I've ever had a case, but you make me feel that my name echoes through two worlds at the very least." "And you are still Harry Donald, suspicious of the gifts that are tossed into your lap," and they both laughed. "This is the man of the class," went on Judge Donald, turning to Ellis, who had taken a seat above them.
Of course Martin could play on that instrument: he had often enough played on one like it to startle the echoes on the lake, in other days.

He did not mind the noise now since he was helping to make it.
There was a rock rising from the centre, and he swam out and stood upon it, and gazed about him at all the ravishing beauty, and laughed and whooped so that the mountains rang with the echoes. He found an abandoned "open-camp", or shed, the roof of which he made water-proof with newspapers and balsam-boughs.

But there goes the scout-master to start the fire building, and water boiling test. Come along boys and see who can beat Giraffe at his pet game!" "Hold on," called out Step-hen, "let's start even all around. Has anybody seen my tin cup?
The deafening roar of the brokers that had broken the stillness following Robert Brownley's fateful speech had awakened echoes that threatened to shake down the Exchange walls.

The instant after the gong sounded Bob Brownley was alone on the floor at the foot of the president's desk.
Not a word was uttered by any of our party, until the Indian's voice suddenly burst forth into one of the melancholy chants of his race, echoed as it appeared by the spirit of his departed brethren. I clung to my father's arm, and asked where all those sounds came from. "They are but the echoes of the Indian's voice," he answered.
Leave his side, my darling; go, sir, take your mortgage-ridden echoes and quit my sight forever." My noble Celestine clung to me in tears, with loving arms, and swore she would willingly, nay gladly, marry me, though I had not an echo in the world. But it could not be.
"What are you thinking about, Lottie, that you are smiling so sweetly?" asked her room-mate, Bel Parton. "In truth, it was a sweet thought," said Lottie, her laugh awakening sudden echoes in the still house, and sounding as oddly as a bird's song at night. "I'm glad Frank Hemstead doesn't know. If he did, I should appall instead of fascinating him."
