This was my first love. Musing over this boyish adventure, I fell into a deep slumber, and on awakening it took me some minutes before I could recall my senses sufficiently to know where I was. The whole face of things in my room was completely changed.
"Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." And as she so read, a more calm and settled expression spread over her features; and after much musing and much thankfulness, she sought the chamber of her friend.
It illuminated her as her presence illuminated the heath. In her movements, in her gaze, she reminded the beholder of the feathered creatures who lived around her home. All similes and allegories concerning her began and ended with birds. There was as much variety in her motions as in their flight. When she was musing she was a kestrel, which hangs in the air by an invisible motion of its wings.
"No doubt," responded "the Golden Shoemaker," with a smile. "But now, Mr. Durnford," he persisted for the twentieth time, "do you know of such a couple as I want?" They were in the minister's study. Mr. Durnford sat musing, with his arms resting upon his knees, and his hands together at the finger-tips. Suddenly he looked up. "You want a couple who have lost a child, Mr. Horn?
His heart throbbed with involuntary emotion; the serene expression of that honest, candid face gave him a pang of bitter reproach. "So you are here, poor girl," he thought. "You whom I have so longed for, so urged to come, with whom I had hoped to spend my life to the end, you have come, you believe in me... while I... while I..." But Kapitolina Markoyna gave him no time for musing.
For the rest of the day they saw very little of each other. Mr. Ruddiman rambled musing. When he came at the usual hour to supper, guests were occupying the hostess. Having eaten, he went out to smoke his pipe in the garden, and lingered there it being a fine, warm night till after ten o'clock. Miss Fouracres' voice aroused him from a fit of abstraction. 'I've just locked up, sir. 'Ah! Yes.
His heart burned within him to think that in merry England, as he liked to call it, and in the days of chivalry, such things were possible; and to put down cruelty and rapacity with a strong hand seemed of infinitely more importance to him than the pursuit of a fine sport. Thus musing, and thus talking in low tones to the thoughtful John, the Prince dropped a little behind the muster of huntsmen.
"I don't like this hyur timber; it's too scant. Cudn't yer put us in the crik bottom, Rowl?" "There's a heavy chaparral," said the Frenchman, musing; "it's ten miles off. If we could reach that we're safe a wolf can hardly crawl through it. We must make it before day." "Lead on, then, Rowl!" We stole along with cautious steps.
La Cibot, acting her heartless comedy, held her handkerchief to her eyes; and at that mute response the sufferer fell to dark musing so sorely stricken was he by the double stab dealt to health and his interests by the loss of his post and the near prospect of death, that he had no strength left for anger.
"I tell you that a company of men-at-arms some twenty strong went last night from Urbino to Roccaleone." "To Roccaleone?" echoed the captain, with a musing air, more attentively than before, as if the repetition of that name had suggested something to his mind. "Why, it is the castle of Monna Valentina." "True, sapient sir. But what of the company, and why was it travelling so, by night?"
