From his musings, he was roused by the joyful sound of the dinner bell, on which the Highlander, lately his guard, became his gentleman-usher, and marshalled him to the hall, where a table with four covers bore ample proofs of Highland hospitality. Sir Duncan entered, conducting his lady, a tall, faded, melancholy female, dressed in deep mourning.
After all, this visit came to Lancelot timely. It had roused him to hope, and turned off his feelings from the startling news he had just heard. He stepped along arm in arm with Luke, cheerful, and fate-defiant, and as he thought of Tregarva's complaints, 'The beautiful? he said to himself, 'they shall have it! At least they shall be awakened to feel their need of it, their right to it.
I I well, I suppose I may say in justice to her that she did her best to nurse me through the fever that followed my wound." "Then she does love you," cried Lavinia roused out of her coldness. "I can't imagine the creature doing a good action without a strong motive." "I've heard say she's generous and is always ready to put her hand in her pocket to help anybody in distress." "Very likely.
She awoke next morning with her hand clutching the place where the sock lay hidden, and saw a kind face bending over her. It belonged to the same man who had held her when she roused from the snow-chill. "What is it?" he asked gently. He pointed to her hand. "It is my charm. It is to bring me good." "May I see it?" The man's voice was so kind that it filled Timid Hare with perfect trust.
The people who, filled by the feast and gladsome, had returned to the Circus with shouts, became silent, not knowing on which body to rest their eyes, or what to think of the spectacle. The nakedness of strained female forms roused no feeling. They did not make the usual bets as to who would die first, a thing done generally when there was even the smallest number of criminals on the arena.
"Only shipped a sea, sir," answered Llewellyn rather gruffly, for he was annoyed at being roused from his sleep, "though from the row they're a- making one would think we were all going to the bottom!" "Much mischief done, eh?" asked Mr Meldrum, taking in at a glance the havoc in the cuddy "I mean on deck," he added.

"If I were a man, I'd stop colorin' up and actin' scared," thought the boy; and then they both heard a door open and shut, and knew the doctor was coming. Jerome's heart beat hard, yet he looked quite boldly at the door. Somehow the young farmer's clumsy embarrassment had roused his own pride and courage.
"Oo know it isn't every one that's had such an honour as that!" This set me thinking of the various queer things we call "an honour" in this world, but which, after all, haven't a bit more honour in them than what Bruno enjoyed, when he took the King a glass of cider.
