My gray-haired father and gallant brothers are marching with Lee, and while I pray for them night and morning, and often through the day, I fear I FEAR inexpressibly, all the more, now that I have seen Northern soldiers fight. God only knows what is in store for us all. Do not think that because I seem light-hearted I am not conscious of living on the eve of a tragedy all the time.
The rest of us" this with a gesture inexpressibly mean and fawning "prefer to haggle over the lion's skin after it has been cured and dressed. It's a mere question of temperament, dear sir." "What have you to say to me?" inquired Indiman, abruptly. I could see that he wanted to kick him. "I have an adventure of the first class. I desire to dispose of it." "Yes." "A noble, a surpassing adventure.
Near by the church was the parsonage, the home of my friends, a neat, pleasant, sequestered dwelling, of about the style of a New England country parsonage. The effect of the whole together was inexpressibly beautiful to me. For a wonder, it was a pleasant day, and this is a thing always to be thankfully acknowledged in England.
He felt inexpressibly lonely and badly afraid; the desolation was growing appalling, and he could not keep on his feet much longer. He had food enough for two scanty meals, and then, if no help came, he must starve. There was now a pain which grew rapidly worse in his left side; his shoulders ached beneath his load, and every joint was sore with the effort it cost him to save his injured foot.
Michael, from the moment that he went forth from delivering his message in the church, saw no more of the Endicotts. He longed inexpressibly to call and enquire for Starr; to get some word of reconciliation from her father; to ask if there was not some little thing that he might be trusted to do for them; but he knew that his place was not there, and his company was not desired.
The Sound of it was exceeding sweet, and wrought into a Variety of Tunes that were inexpressibly melodious, and altogether different from any thing I had ever heard: They put me in mind of those heavenly Airs that are played to the departed Souls of good Men upon their first Arrival in Paradise, to wear out the Impressions of the last Agonies, and qualify them for the Pleasures of that happy Place.
But sudden confusion beset his mind a sense of having been guilty of monstrous presumption a panic which threw darkness about him and made him grasp the chair convulsively. When he recovered himself and looked at Sidwell there was a faint smile on her lips, inexpressibly gentle. 'That's the rough outline of my projects, he said, in his ordinary voice, moving a few steps away.
The scene was one which would have been impressive, not merely to such hermits as we were, but even to worldly persons accustomed to life and to its curious and variegated experiences. To me it was dazzling beyond words, inexpressibly exciting, an initiation to every kind of publicity and glory.
To one whose heart could not respond to their very evident sincerity they might easily have appeared 'high-falutin'. She herself did not find them so, far from it she found them inexpressibly touching; but then she knew the story of the man who had waited, and could not fail to be influenced by it.
Their movements, though wanton and fantastic, were not without a certain wild grace; and the address with which, from time to time, they cast up their instruments and caught them in descending, joined to the surprising agility with which, in the evolutions of the dance, one seemed now to chase, now to fly from, the other, darting to and fro through the ranks of her companions, winding and wheeling, the chain now seemingly broken in disorder, now united link to link, as the whole force of the instruments clashed in chorus, made an exhibition inexpressibly attractive to the vulgar.
