Then Beltane arose and lifting high his axe, shook it against Garthlaxton's frowning might, where was neither glint of armour nor gleam of pike-head, and turning, hasted back to that dark and silent company which, at his word, rose up from brake and fern and thicket, and followed whither he led, a long line, soundless and phantom-like within a phantom world, where a grey mist swirled and drifted in the death-cold air of dawn.
There are traces of a battle and defeat marked on it; the stamp of hope deferred and resignation, yet without that placidity which usually betokens the acceptance of an inevitable destiny. The brows are drawn together above the nose, and at times a murderous glint shows in the half-closed eyes of the possessor.
Jane colored at the emphasis placed on the "you." "Why should you be surprised?" she flashed back, an angry glint in her gray eyes. Already her good resolutions were poised for flight. "I am even more surprised at the boldness of your question. I consider it as being in extremely bad taste." "And I am surprised at the way I have been treated!"
While yet the sun was shining, there was the tremor of life in the sadness; but when the last glint of amethyst and gold died away behind Mont Violet, and the melancholy swish of the river against the osiered banks rose out of the windless dusk, all the region around Manor Cartier, with its cypresses, its firs, its beeches, and its elms, became gently triste.
"But I most particularly want an opportunity to talk with Harry," urged Eleanor, an angry glint coming into her eyes. "Sorry, anything to oblige, but not that," said Suzanne cheerfully; the sacrifices of friendship were beautiful in her eyes as long as she was not asked to make them.

"Say" Cleggy put his forefinger significantly to the side of his nose "say, can't youse let a sport in on " "Clear out!" Doc Madison broke in quite as suavely as before but there was a sudden glint of steel in the gray eyes as they held the bruiser's, and Cleggy, hastily picking up the tray, scuffled from the room.

I reached out yearningly after the heath; I had not seen it for such a long time, how long it did seem! and but in the same breath it was all there again in the smile that lighted up Frands's broad face like a glint of sunlight from a leaden sky. "Joesses, jou," he laughed, "no ka a da saa grou godt." It was the first honest Danish word he had heard since he came to this bewildering land.
Men could be seen moving about the laborers' huts in fact, there was an air almost of expectant bustle about the place. Shielding his eyes, Mr. Merrill gazed down toward the little town. His keen vision had caught the glint of a firearm of some sort between the legs of a man seated outside one of the huts. "These chaps must have advance information of some sort," he remarked to Geisler.
But the glint died out of his eyes after a time; even his nervously active fingers stopped worrying the bit of cardboard on the table.
In a child's smile, a wild flower's fragrance, a glint of sunlight, things possible to all, we would find joys unspeakable and full of glory. This does not mean dull content with things as they are; it does mean the development of the faculties of appreciation, the growth of the life in power to see, the development of vision.
