I suppose the sparkle in my heart showed in my eyes, for Polk sat up quickly and took notice of it very decidedly. "Wire especially impassioned?" he asked, with a smolder in his eyes. "Not especially." I answered serenely, "One of my friend's father is a director in the C. & G. and he is coming down with him for the conference over at Bolivar between the two roads next week."
The warriors on the ground breathed perhaps a little heavily after so much feasting, and the fires were permitted to smolder down to coals. Wolves and panthers drawn by the scent of food crept through the thickets toward the faint firelight, but they were afraid to draw near.
But the flame of his deep-hawed and now glazing eyes had died down to a dim red smolder; his hard breathing spared nothing for a snarl now, and his head and body movements were, if anything, a little slower than before.
Whereas, upon entering, he had worn an expression of careless defiance, now he appeared to harden in every fiber and to go on guard. "I have been many times in France." "I mean during the war. Did you serve?" There was a pause. "I did." Gray's eyes remained fixed upon his interrogator, but they had begun to smolder. "Then you're Colonel Gray. Colonel Calvin Gray." "Quite so."
Yet research is showing that these seemingly discredited beliefs and points of view seldom completely disappear. They smolder beneath the surface and flame up now and then in a startling way to remind us that society in its evolution does not carry all its members along at the same rate.
Some of these Spain grudgingly allowed, and it was in part by American insistence that slavery was finally abolished in the island.

And that's how me and Buddy came to be named Allegheny and Ozark. But we never expected to see 'em. The drought burned us out too often." Allegheny and Ozark. Quaint names. "Times must have been hard." The remark was intended only as a spur. "Hard!" There was a pause; slowly the girl's eyes began to smolder, and as she went on in her deliberate way, memory set a tragic shadow over her face.
I said: The long trial has proved that the object for which Spain has waged the war can not be attained. The fire of insurrection may flame or may smolder with varying seasons, but it has not been and it is plain that it can not be extinguished by present methods. The only hope of relief and repose from a condition which can no longer be endured is the enforced pacification of Cuba.
With the aid of the army in the more settled regions, and by extra-legal means elsewhere, the outlaws, thieves, cotton burners, and house burners were brought somewhat under control even before the state governments were reorganized, though the embers of lawlessness continued to smolder.
She had seen dead birds in the forest and she knew that grand'mère was now like them. The telegram was better burned in the fire; there it could bring no more sorrow. She watched the thin paper curl and smolder among the smoking embers of last night's blaze. She looked again toward the still figure by the window. If grand'mère was dead, why did she stay on the earth?
