She made straight for the iron staircase to the grounds, and came face to face with Robert Maper. Twilight was not his hour for the library she saw even through her perturbation that he was pacing it in fond memory. His face lighted up with amazement, as though the dead had come up through a tombstone. "Good-by!" she said, shifting her handbag to her left hand and holding out her right.
Pacing the deck of the one of the British vessels was a young American, whose temperament was such that he could fully appreciate all the beauties of the scene, even though harassed by anxious fears lest the British should be successful. This man was Francis S. Key, who had visited the fleet with a flag of truce, but was unable to get away before the bombardment began.
If it were proved, however don't you see it would disprove both suppositions equally? If such a philosophical spirit be unattainable, it discredits both sides of the alternative on either of which it would have been reasonable. 'There is a sophism there of course, but I am not in the mood for pulling your logic to pieces, returned Charley, still pacing up and down the room.
Verdayne had risen again and was once more pacing back and forth under the trees, as was his wont when troubled with painful memories. "But my mother you knew her!" "Yes, yes I knew your mother!" "Tell me about her!" A dull, hopeless agony came into the eyes of the older man. And so his Gethsemane had come to him again! Every life has this garden to pass through some, alas! again and yet again!
I was alone, and the tourist season was over, and the sad autumnal afternoon offering little prospect of my being joined by other sight-seers, I prevailed with the housekeeper, who admitted me, to let me wander about the place, without entering the house; and I spent a most melancholy hour in the garden and in pacing up and down the terrace overlooking the Tweed side.
I began to blame myself for not having gone straight on when Archie unconsciously gave me my longitude.

I was pacing along at the double, when a lighted window, a couple of hundred yards from the road, attracted my attention.
And now he and his wife were pacing slowly down the nave, carried forward on the light Mendelssohn ripples, the spring day beckoning to them through widely opened doors, and Mrs. Welland's chestnuts, with big white favours on their frontlets, curvetting and showing off at the far end of the canvas tunnel.
Elaine was pacing anxiously up and down the little room into which she had been thrown, greatly frightened. Suddenly the door through which her captor had left opened hurriedly again. A most disreputable looking tramp entered and locked the door again. Elaine started back in fear. He motioned to her to be quiet.
On entering the salon she found Gania pacing up and down at frantic speed, pale with rage and almost tearing his hair. She frowned, and subsided on to the sofa with a tired air, and without taking the trouble to remove her hat. She very well knew that if she kept quiet and asked her brother nothing about his reason for tearing up and down the room, his wrath would fall upon her head.
The Palace stood on the same side of the Cathedral as the main street of the city, in the direct route to the Foregate, the Tithing, and the White Ladies' Nunnery at Whytstone. How strange to remember, that beneath him lay that mile-long walk in darkness; that just under the Palace, so near the Cathedral, she and he, pacing together, had known the end of their strange pilgrimage to be at hand.
