He ought to have struggled to his feet at once, but it was very comfortable to feel her breath upon his forehead. "I heard a fall and then some one running. Are you badly hurt?" The anguish in her voice was as music to his ears. "Dizzy, that's all. Better tell your father immediately. No, no; I can get up alone. I'm all right. Fine rescuer of princesses, eh?" with an unsteady laugh.
In the King's place, he had taken her by the hand and cleft a way for her through her enemies. He was the man, the rescuer; she was the woman, the rescued. She became conscious of the futility of her attitude of prayer. She raised her head and saw that a man kneeling close to the altar had turned and was staring fixedly towards her. The man was the Prince of Baden. Had he recognised her?
The Indian, Cloud-in-the-Sky, though by word never thanking his rescuer, could not be induced to leave the fort, except on some mission with which Jaspar Hume was connected. He preferred living an undignified, un-Indian life, and earning food and shelter by coarsely labouring with his hands.
But to introduce myself to an American nabob as the rescuer of his child was impossible! Why, the man was capable of offering me a remuneration! No, I would have nothing to do with aristocrats like these. They have their child; it is safe; and so good-bye to them! However, as I turned to leave, I was surprised to hear some one pronounce my name, and, to my astonishment, I found that it was Mr.
Her manner in speaking of that unknown, wandering rescuer; the blush that had burned from breast to brow, when he had mentioned the fellow; her aversion for Waldron and her reticence in talking of the accident all this, and more, now surged on Flint's comprehension, flooding his mind with light with light and with terrible anger.

You should be the Herald of peace, the Pardoner of sin, the Rescuer of the fallen, and the Refuge of the distressed! Come out with me, and be all this to the world, so that when the Master comes He may truly find you working in His vineyard!" Another dead pause ensued.
It had been announced to the chief men, the fathers and heads of families who were pining in the prisons, that they would be transported on foot to Magdeburg as recruits, with knapsacks on their backs. But at this moment the rescuer in need, of the afflicted city, made his appearance. A tall, proud, manly form crossed the antechamber of the king.
What he did with the youth, and how he did it, he cannot exactly remember, but at least he doesn't forget the grip of Blanchflower's hand, and the look of deliverance in his strained, hollow face. Nor had Mrs. Blanchflower borne her rescuer any grudge. He had parted from her on the best of terms, and the recollection of her astonishing beauty grows strong in him as he thinks of her.
"Ach, zank you mine better angel!" he murmured, with a fervor that seemed not unpleasing to his rescuer. "You really are a nobleman in trouble?" "I swear I am!" "And didn't mean anything really wrong?" "Never oh, never!" More kindly than before she murmured "Well, I guess I'll take you out, then. I've bribed Dugald, so that's all right. When my car's ready I'll send him up for you.
