A struggle for its possession now ensued between these frail and delicate beings; in which Clara, however, had the advantage, not only from the recumbent position of her opponent, but from the greater security of her grasp.

"You laugh," said his step-mother sharply. "I am not surprised at it. You delight in your brutality." "I suppose you mean that I have treated Jonas brutally." "I see you confess it." "No, Mrs.
"Vive M. de Luynes!" and "Death to the Italian!" were distinctly audible. Leonora bounded from her recumbent position like a lioness at bay. Her parted lips were bloodless, her breath came quick and hard, and her heart heaved by its violent pulsations the rich velvet of the robe in which she was attired. "My child!" she at length gasped out, as her attendants gathered about her "save my child!

Three large images of Bhudda, carved out of solid rock, occupy the positions in which he is always represented; that in the recumbent posture is fifty-six feet long, cut from one stone.
