A certain amount of moonlight found access to the room, without spreading so far as the bed in which my friend lay. But at the moment of my headlong entrance, and before I had switched on the light, my gaze automatically was directed to the pale moonbeam streaming through the window and down on to one corner of the sheep skin rug beside the bed. There came a sound of faint and muffled coughing,
'A possible under-secretary is just the man to cut me out with Mildred.... They'd discuss the elections between kisses. At that moment he saw Mildred struggling through the crowd with a young diplomatist, Le Comte de la Ferriere. She wore white tulle laid upon white silk. The bodice was silver fish- scales, and she shimmered like a moonbeam.
But there had come a moment in which he had yielded, and that moment governed all the other minutes. We may almost say that a man is only as strong as his weakest moment. But he returned to London very strong in his purpose. He would keep his establishment at the Moonbeam for this winter. He had it all laid out and planned in his mind. He would at once pay Mr.
Eustacie's cry at once was, 'Himself, himself his very face! Let me have her, my own moonbeam his child my joy! The tears, so long denied, rushed down like summer rain as she clasped the child in her arms.
You must know many a Christmas tale; pray tell us one to wear away this night of Christmas watching." "I know but one," said the moonbeam. "I have told it over and over again, in every land and in every home; yet I do not weary of it. It is very simple. Should you like to hear it?"
For to her mind he was the sunlight in the sun, the brightness in the moonbeam; he was the savour in fruit and the taste in honey; and when she looked from Crimthann to the king she could not but consider that the right man was in the wrong place. She thought that crowned only with his curls Crlmthann mac Ae was more nobly diademed than are the masters of the world, and she told him so.
Certainly not an Irishman intent upon a moonbeam imprisoned in a girl's bright hair. But one sound sweeter! "And that?" asked Joan as they glided away again among the dancers. Kenny threw back his head and his eyes laughed. "A robin singing in a blackthorn!" Joan smiled at the boyish sparkle of his face. He was so charmingly, so irresponsibly young and gay.
Blanched was the cheek of pride. My heart bent low before the omnipotence of Spirit, and a tint of humility soft as the heart of a moonbeam mantled the earth. Bethlehem and Bethany, Gethsemane and Calvary, spoke to my chastened sense as by the tearful lips of a babe."
If this kind of thing were to go on, life wouldn't be worth having. That was the feeling of Ralph, the squire of Newton, as he returned on that Saturday from London to the Moonbeam; and so far Mr. Neefit had been successful in carrying out his threat. Neefit had sworn that he would make the young man's life a burden to him, and the burden was already becoming unbearable. Mr.
Her beautiful throat and shoulders rose in statuesque whiteness from the mist of chiffon that encircled them. Her dark hair showed a moonbeam parting that rested the eye, wearied by the contemplation of waves and frizzes fresh from the curling-tongs. Her mother's pearls hung in ropes from neck to waist, and the one spot of colour about her was the single American Beauty rose she carried.
