It was, on the other hand, one of her most unresigned regrets, that she was not allowed to share in these ideals for public service of her husband and father these ideals so distantly glimpsed by her, and perhaps not very consciously felt by them.
And beyond this bleak prospect, which filled her with dreary horror, there rose glimpsed vistas which sent the shamed blood up to her face in a flood if every man was like that, why, so were the men she had known and loved and trusted; old Reinhardt, who seemed so simple, what had been his thoughts when he used years ago to take her on his knee what were his thoughts now when he bent over her to correct her mistakes on the piano?
Rightly she belonged to another age, if not to another star. For the moment she sat smiling at him, her eyes dancing and yet masking her ultimate thought. Triumph he had glimpsed and, as always, a shadowy hint of mockery.
A movement amid the stragglers of the band told that they had glimpsed the approach of the whites. There was a distant shout, and at once the whole party was galloping off. "They'll distance us!" cried Blake. "They're going to get away!" "Not very far," was Hank's opinion. "Their horses are about done up. This is a last spurt."
Just as she was thinking that she could endure it no longer, Felice glimpsed a faint light on a plateau-like place above them. The boy gestured with his whip. "Thar, Major," he called back cheerfully over his shoulder, "We're a- gittin' thar "

There was an ample pier of heavy masonry; upon this, under shelter, were some thousands of barrels containing that product which has carried the fame of Bermuda to many lands, the potato. With here and there an onion. That last sentence is facetious; for they grow at least two onions in Bermuda to one potato.
Often from the top of a mountain there suddenly glimpsed some splendid city with domes, and bridges, and ships, forests of citron trees, and cathedrals of white marble, on whose pointed steeples were storks' nests. They went at a walking-pace because of the great flag-stones, and on the ground there were bouquets of flowers, offered you by women dressed in red bodices.
Consequently he dismissed the fellow from his thoughts until with Brussels lingering in their memories a garish vision of brilliant streets and glowing cafes, glimpsed furtively from their cab windows during its wild dash over the broad mid-city, boulevards at midnight they settled themselves in a carriage of the Bruges express.
Across the corral he glimpsed some of the others Pink and Weary, and farther along, Cal Emmett and Jack Bates; but they made no sign if they saw him, and he did not go near them.
