"Oh, I can recognize some of them; that's Pevensey Castle; and that's Knowle House, before it was rebuilt; and, surely, this one is meant for Battle Abbey." "I say, how clever you are!" he exclaimed, gazing at her with admiration. "Oh, no, I'm not," said Celia, with a smile; "I just happen to remember them because I've come across them in the course of my own work. Let us go over the others."
Through the spheres echoed the words: "What is near, what is far, when thou art lifted by the mighty genius of mind?" And again the boy stood by the window, gazing out, whilst his younger brother lay in bed. Their mother called them by their names: "Anders Sandoe" and "Hans Christian." Denmark and the whole world knows them the two brothers Oersted. Have you ever seen a maiden?
Güntz and Reimers dismounted at the shed, and fastened up their horses by the bridle. Reimers pressed his friend's hand once more, gazing at him with anxious eyes. He could not speak. They stood side by side on the edge of the terrace, whence they could look down upon the country road in the valley below.
At once he was back in the circus, gazing into the perils and the splendors of a woman’s face, telling himself with reiterated insistence that to hold her to him would be the birthday of his life; and here, within reach of his hand, was she whom in the din of the chariots he had recognized as the one woman in all the world, and who for one moment the day before had lain unconscious in his arms.
While gazing thus a shrill voice reached him, the eager treble of a newsboy: "Great Scandal!" he heard and then "Scandal in the University! Full Report! Only five cents! Five cents for the 'Herald's' Special!" He hastened to the gate and beckoned to the little figure in the distance. His thoughts were whirling. What did it mean?
He had thrown the manuscripts into the hottest of the fire, which at first seemed to shrink away, but soon curled around them, and made them a part of its own fervent brightness. Oberon stood gazing at the conflagration, and shortly began to soliloquize, in the wildest strain, as if Fancy resisted and became riotous, at the moment when he would have compelled her to ascend that funeral pile.
"We crept by them in the dark." "Why? To come and see what forces we had here?" "No," I said. "Then why did you come?" "To get away from the Boers." "Why did you want to get away from them?" cried the officer, gazing at me searchingly. I was so hot and indignant that I would not speak for some little time. "I thought so. Making up a good story eh? You've caught the first spy, Lieutenant."
His companion made no rejoinder to this, and they stood another minute or two side by side and in silence, gazing at the portrait. At last he took up his hat he had no more time, he must go. "Will you come to-night all the same?" he asked with a laugh that was somewhat awkward and an offer of a hand-shake. "All the same?" Biddy seemed to wonder.
Its broad verandahed houses had seen hard usage, its pavements were worn and broken, and in many streets tufted with weeds; its fences were dilapidated, its rich families had lost their possessions, and those who had not been driven away by their necessities were gazing aghast at a future to which it seemed impossible to adjust their ease-loving, slave-attended, luxurious habits of the past.
"The fawn knows the deer, and the bear's cub knows his fellows," continued Verty, gazing into the fire; "but they laugh at me. I don't know my tribe." "Our tribe is the Delaware," said the old Indian woman evasively " they came from the great woods like a river." "Like a river? Yes, they know their source. But where did I spring from, ma mere?" "Where was my son born?"
