As it darkened rather suddenly, her eyes came out, and they were very personal and seemed to belong to some one already much beloved, who had been found with "transports of infinite joy and tenderness." He woke with a start and sought to retain the phantom, which faded. He could not conceive that was a mere illusion, and as he realized that she had vanished he felt overwhelmed with hopelessness.
Setting this mistake right, she disclosed strangely mingled with the lighter articles of her own dress a heap of papers; some of them letters and bills; some of them faded instructions in writing for the preparation of artists' colours. She recoiled from the objects which her own act had disclosed. Why had she not taken Father Patrizio's advice?
The migration of those birds that unexpectedly came down from the north last winter was like the fall of a meteor, only the birds promptly faded away again. Why should New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts exterminate the heath hen and coddle the ring-necked pheasant and the Hungarian partridge? The introduction of the old-world pheasants interests me very little.
The waiting lookers-on in the plain below thought to hear the noise of clashing steel; but they listened in vain, for no sound came to their ears, save a sharp hiss like that which red-hot iron gives when plunged into a tank of cold water. The huge Amilias sat unmoved, with his arms still folded upon his breast; but the smile had faded from his face.
His fine sense for the precious in art led him to seek the untrodden ways. He indulged in bitter gibes at the poor taste of the crowd. In some far-away church, just as he was getting ready to enjoy a beautifully faded picture on the wall, he caught sight of a tourist.

But after they had been a few minutes in the camp, and Godfrey had filled his pipe and smoked a whiff or two, the scowl faded away and Dan began to breathe easier. "I've put you in the way to make a dollar, pap," said he, as soon as the soothing effects of the tobacco began to be perceptible.
Moss, went on to the kitchen door, where the eldest boy was holding his horse, and his sister was waiting in a state of wondering alarm, which was not without its alleviations, for baby was making pleasant gurgling sounds, and performing a great deal of finger practice on the faded face. Mrs. Moss had eight children, but could never overcome her regret that the twins had not lived. Mr.

"Will you?" she cried delightedly.
Therefore he shrank back from her, and in time their relation faded into nothingness. It happened, soon after, that she found a packet in her husband's desk, marked "Not to be opened until after my death." She wrote of this in her correspondence: I had not the patience to wait till widowhood. No one can be sure of surviving anybody.
