Sir William appeared hovering in the doorway, not at all liking the defection of Mr. Aaron. Then he retreated. He seemed not to care for music.

How could I have any peace of mind while I knew that she was free to pour them into your ear?" Sylvia sat dumb with questions she would not utter, hovering on the tip of her tongue. He took her silence for acquiesence, and went on, quickly, "Let me give you an illustration.

On the plains where the soldiers of Darius and Alexander slaughtered one another, and where the Macedonian phalanxes recoiled before the castellated elephants of Porus, a marriage was consummated. Hovering over the heads of the opposing armies, the angel of Europe and the angel of Asia embraced, and sent their lifebloods coursing through each other. Passage was made to India.
"Then perhaps they'll find something after they're married," retorted Eliza, "and the looking for it will give a spice to life.
