Anniversaries having been unpropitious, he waited on till a bright day late in May a day when all animate nature was fancying, in its trusting, foolish way, that it was going to bask out of doors for evermore. As he rode through Long-Ash Lane it was scarce recognizable as the track of his two winter journeys. No mistake could be made now, even with his eyes shut.
I felt annoyed, and was about to withdraw; but I remained, notwithstanding, forming excuses for her conduct, fancying she did not mean it, and still hoping to receive some friendly recognition. The rest of the company now arrived.
Then she let her head fall back, fancying she heard in space the music of seraphic harps, and perceived in an azure sky, on a golden throne in the midst of saints holding green palms, God the Father, resplendent with majesty, who with a sign sent to earth angels with wings of fire to carry her away in their arms."
After months of perseverance and a love such as man seldom felt before, you deliberately and coldly refused to be my wife; nay, you have deserted Monte Argentaro purposely to get rid of my importunities; for there I could go with the lugger at any moment; and have come here, upon this bay, crowded with the English and other enemies of France, fancying that I would not dare to venture hither.
The landlord had turned out the former tenant of this garret after she had been long enough in the house for all the rest to know her; and, notwithstanding she had been no great favorite, they all took her part against the landlord; and fancying, perhaps because we kept more to ourselves, that we were his protegees, and that he had turned out Muggy Moll, as they called her, to make room for us, regarded us from the first with disapprobation.
"My poor dear!" she said; "you're fancying things!" The colour had faded out of Noel's face, and, with her head thrown back and her eyelids half-closed, she looked like a scornful young ghost. "If it is I shan't live. I don't mean to it's easy to die. I don't mean Daddy to know." "Oh! my dear, my dear!" was all Leila could stammer. "Was it wrong, Leila?" "Wrong? I don't know wrong?
I have been expecting it only tell me." She sat down suddenly, as white as ashes. "Dear Miss Wilkins, I'm afraid it is painful enough, but you are fancying it worse than it is. All your friends are quite well; but an old servant " "Well!" she said, seeing his hesitation, and leaning forwards and griping at his arm. "Is taken up on a charge of manslaughter or murder. Oh! Mrs. Forbes, come here!"
As the "patriarchs" of the pack had somewhat appeased their hunger, the younger members rushed, in uttering sharp yelps, to which the elders replied with still louder snarls, greatly increasing the horrible din. The Dominie and Dan started up, fancying that the wolves were upon us. Neither of them could after this go to sleep. "Come, Mike, I'll take your place," said Mr Tidey.
A single drop or two spilled in the palm of the hand is sufficient to rub over all the parts exposed, and will often ensure sleep, where otherwise such a thing would be impossible. I have often lain with my face so smeared, and listened to the sharp hum of the mosquito as it approached, fancying that the next moment I should feel its tiny touch, as it settled down upon my cheek, or brow.
