His had been a strong, buoyant spirit and when her hands, like Moses' of old, had required steadying, he had never failed her.

"Wait a minute while I turn out the light," he added cheerfully, pressing the electric button with his free hand. Then holding her closer in a steadying support, they ascended together the darkened staircase.
Besides, it was a relief to feel he was getting better and was able to work. In the afternoon, he had occasion to pass the spot where Festing was occupied, and stopped to watch.

She paused a moment, steadying herself by the table. There was not a sound, not a movement in the room. Only Meynell uncovered his eyes and tried to meet hers, so as to give her encouragement.
