And she loved him for his gaiety, for his lightness, for the ease with which he took for granted her unchangeable love. She longed with all her soul and body to prove this love by a surrender more complete than any she had made in the past. She longed to say: "I am yours to do with as you please, and nothing in the universe matters but you and my love for you."
She stared at him so pathetically, so helplessly, that he laughed aloud. "I know what you're thinking," he said, and there was no mistaking the lightness of his heart. "I don't blame you for being shocked if you thought I had come back to such a fate as you evidently pictured. Betty, by Jove, you'll never know how happy you've made me!" "I I am surprised. Agatha told me that you you "
Who was Alice? During these reflections Coquenil had been vaguely aware of gay sounds from the neighboring woods, and now a sudden burst of laughter brought him back to the consciousness of things about him. "We're too serious, my boy," he said with an effort at lightness; "this is a bit of an outing, and we must enjoy it. Come, we'll move on!"
The framework is filled up with a netting of deer-skin threads, which unites lightness with great strength, and permits any snow that may chance to fall upon the netting to pass through it like a sieve. On the present occasion the snow, having recently fallen, was soft, and the walking, consequently, what is called heavy.
After the usual dance in the church of Santa Maria, before the image of the glorious Santa Anna, Preciosa caught up a tambourine, well furnished with bells, and having cleared a wide circle around her with pirouettes of exceeding lightness, she sang a hymn to the patroness of the day. It was the admiration of all who heard her. Some said, "God bless the girl!"
Rachael, who was waiting for him when he descended to dinner, even remarked upon the lightness of his step. "The country suits you, Bertrand," she said. "It suits you better than it does me. You walk like a boy, and there is color in your cheeks." "The sun," he muttered. "I always tan quickly." "Where have you been to?" she asked. "I have been walking with Miss Champneyes," he answered.
A lady was playing the pianoforte playing remarkably well with accurate science, with that equal lightness and strength of finger which produces brilliancy of execution; but to appreciate her music one should be musical one's self. It wanted the charm that fascinates the uninitiated. The guests in the room were musical connoisseurs, a class with whom Graham Vane had nothing in common.
"Oh Paul!" she said, relieved. "Does Alan know I'm here?" "No," he reassured her; then, affectionately: "What is it, Pat?" "Just just that I happen to be a fool!" she said huskily, but with an effort at lightness. Paul sat down, beginning to see in the darkness. "I'm all right now," went on Patricia, hardily. "I just I suppose I just had the blues."
Peter lighted another pipe. "I wonder," said he, "how long it'll be 'fore you an' her 'll be clawin' agin. Religion ur no religion, crazy ur no crazy, women is jest the same." When Westerfelt went to bed that night after his talk with Mrs. Bradley about the conversion of Mrs. Dawson, it was with a certain lightness of heart and buoyancy of spirits that he had not experienced for a long time.
Beholding that terrible shaft, the gods, the Gandharvas, and the Danavas, said these words, O king, viz., "Prosperity to Drona!" Karna, however, O king, displaying great lightness of hand cut off into dozen fragments that shaft as it coursed towards the preceptor's car.
