He might easily have lost his tongue, and if his master doesn't return soon and another accuser should appear, who knows what will happen!" "But that must not, shall not be!" cried Eva, the old defiance echoing imperiously in her voice. "Heinz Schorlin you said so yourself would not plead in vain for mercy to the Emperor; and before I will see the faithful fellow "
Ambulinia comes we don't know whence nor why; she mysteriously intimates we don't know what; and then she goes echoing away we don't know whither; and down comes the curtain. McClintock's art is subtle; McClintock's art is deep.
Again the automobile shivered, and plunged, and went clamoring like a mad thing up the little valley, the hills echoing back its roar. The white road leaped up at them, gulping them in. A red steer, astray from some pasture, crossed the road far ahead of them, and Marion closed her eyes as the machine, with a sickening swerve, missed it by inches.
Edith walked through its lofty, echoing halls, its long suites of sumptuous drawing-rooms, libraries, billiard and ball rooms. The suite fitted up for herself was gorgeous in purple and gold-velvet and bullion fringe in pictures that were wonders of loveliness in mirror-lined walls, in all that boundless wealth and love could lavish on its idol.

Ornaments were huddled on tables, mirrors and pictures leaned their faces to the walls; everywhere was disorder. "The negroes are careless, and to-day I held their hands," said Haward.
It was finally arranged, and in the course of a few days the parlor of Locust Grove was echoing sometimes to the laughter, and sometimes to the screaming, of little Ella Grey, who, from some unaccountable freak of babyhood, conceived a violent fancy for Eugenia, to whom she would go quite as readily as to Dora, whose daily absence at school she at last did not mind.

It seemed to me that we drove for hours through the dark, echoing streets of Kiakhta, but at last we stopped before the white wall of a long, low building, and in a moment I was in another world. Behind me were the wide, open plains of Mongolia and the starlit nights in tent or tarantass. Here was Russia, half Europe, half Asia, and wholly uninteresting.
