Even a scoffer at ghosts if he were very observant would have been forced to admit that she had, at least in a very vivid dream, been honestly aware of the weird visitor. Soon Mrs. Bellmore's maid was packing. In two hours the auto would come to convey her to the station. As Terence was strolling upon the east piazza, Mrs. Bellmore came up to him, with a confidential sparkle in her eye.
Had observant eyes watched her then, they would have noticed that hers remained closed for a few moments and that two tears glistened there. "Wal, ye better put the box away now," said Uncle Terry at last. "I'll jest go out an' take a look off'n the pint and then it'll be time to turn in." "I've got ter go ter Boston," said Uncle Terry to his wife a few days later.
'Preposterous! cried Solomon in a rage, and he presented it to Peter; anything useless which drifted upon the island was usually given to Peter as a plaything. But he did not play with his precious bank-note, for he knew what it was at once, having been very observant during the week when he was an ordinary boy.
Little wrinkles at the outer corners of her eyes assisted her look of placid thought fulness; when she spoke, these were wont to disappear, and the expression of her face became an animated intelligence, an eager curiosity, or a vivacious good-humour, Her lips gave a hint of sarcasm, but this was reserved for special occasions; as a rule her habit of speech was suave, much observant of amenities.
Simultaneously all within the church stood up, and gracefully and steadily, with a hand which trembled not, even to the observant and anxious eyes of her son, Isabella of Buchan placed the sacred symbol of royalty on the head of Scotland's king; and then arose, as with one voice, the wild enthusiastic shout of loyalty, which, bursting from all within the church, was echoed again and again from without, almost drowning the triumphant anthem which at the same moment sent its rich, hallowed tones through the building, and proclaimed Robert Bruce indeed a king.
Ned was by nature a keenly observant young gentleman, and the first fact which attracted his attention on landing was that the water in the basin was at exactly the same height on the beach as when they had passed it some hours later on the previous day, from which he at once arrived at the conclusion afterwards proved to be correct that there was practically no tide in Refuge Harbour, as Williams at once named the place.
"I have had occasion often to enter his abode, and I have examined all things with a close eye, for, praised be the Lord, I have faculties more than ordinarily clear and observant, but I have seen no books therein, excepting a missal, and a Latin or Greek Testament, I know not well which; nay, so incurious or unlearned is the holy man that he rejected even a loan of the 'Life of Saint Francis, notwithstanding it has many and rare pictures, to say nothing of its most interesting and amazing tales."
To such shallow discourse the states answered with infinite urbanity, for it was the determination of Orange not to make enemies, at that juncture, of France and England in the same breath. They had foes enough already, and it seemed obvious at that moment, to all persons most observant of the course of affairs, that a matrimonial alliance was soon to unite the two crowns.
The unfortunate one has gone through the Vedas and their branches and is practising asceticism alone. He being one with soul under complete control, desires set high, observant of vows, deeply engaged in ascetic penances, and free from greed for the merits or asceticism, we have been reduced to this deplorable state. He hath no wife, no son, no relatives.
I could almost wish she had less." Braybrooke looked suddenly surprised and then alertly observant. "Less dignity?" he queried, after a slight but significant pause. "Yes."
