"Confiding, frank, without control, Poured mutually from soul to soul, As free from any fear or doubt, As is that light from chill or stain The sun into the stars sheds out, To be by them shed back again." "The great heart of the nation heaves With pride in work her sons have done well, And with a smile and sigh she weaves A wreath of bays and one of immortelle." Toronto Mail
"Let their blood suffice to wash the stain of thy blood from off these cruel hands that once did murder thee." "Who am I that I should blame thee?" Leo went on as though arguing with himself, "I who but yesterday killed two men to save myself from treachery." "Speak not of it," she exclaimed in cold rage.
Sir Sidney has no vices to conceal behind his spreading and imperishable laurels. His public character is before the approving world. That peace which his sword has accelerated, has afforded us an undisturbed opportunity of admiring his achievements in the field, and of contemplating his conduct in the retired avenues of private life, in which his deportment is without a stain.
How his soul revolted with infinite disgust from the language which he had heard, and the open glorying in sin of which he had so often been a witness.

What was it now that rode in his saddle the saddle with the long dark stain? Assuredly it was not the slim girl-thing with the golden voice! El Rey had ever looked through, beyond her. Nay, it was something bigger, stronger, sterner who shall say?
He added that the constant antagonism of the Liberals and Democrats kept the Government within bounds. Hungarians resented the stain upon their honour of the Ancona incident and they were on the verge of compelling Berlin to assume responsibility for the sinking and adjust the matter.
Then said Orestes, "I have learnt in many troubles both how to be silent and how to speak. And now I speak as a wise man biddeth me. For lo! the stain of blood that is upon my hand groweth pale, and the defilement is cleansed away. Therefore, I call to Athené that is Queen of this land, to help me, wherever she be; for though she be far, yet being a goddess, she can hear my voice.
Thus by the resources and presence of mind of one man Philadelphia was saved from a day of which the bloody stain could never have been effaced from her good fame. But Franklin seemed for a while to reap more of hostility than of gratitude for his gallant and honorable conduct in this emergency.
They chatted a few moments and then parted. The Professor took an opportunity to look at his hand. He could detect no sign of any cut or abrasion, the skin seemed whole everywhere. He looked at his handkerchief. There was still visible on it the stain where he had wiped his hand, and this stain seemed certainly blood. "Odd!" he muttered as he put the handkerchief back in his pocket. "Very odd!"
