One night had sufficed for him to find again, developed it is true, the sweet creature whom he had loved so tenderly, the superb, radiant child whom he had embraced so wildly in the by-gone days behind the flowering hedge, beneath the sun-flecked trees. "How tall and lovely you are, Marie!" said he, in spite of himself.
Beyond the harbour crowded with shipping, and now alive with eager little craft and fishing-boats making ready to start for the scene of the calamity lay a vast expanse of glistening sea, and on that sun-flecked blue pall every eye was fixed.
Some scenes live undimmed in our memories for a lifetime scenes where we have seemed onlookers rather than actors seeing every detail with minute exactness and that scene with its mingling of glorious beauty, human pathos, and soft, subdued sound, will bye, I think, in the memory of most of us for many years to come: "In the midst of life we are in death," the Maluka read, standing among that drooping crimson splendour and at his feet lay the open grave, preaching silently its great lesson of Life and Death, with, beside it, the still quiet form of the traveller whose last weary journey had ended; around it, bareheaded and all in white, a little band of bush-folk, silent and reverent and awed; above it, that crimson glory, and all around and about it, soft sun-flecked bush, murmuring sounds, flooding sunshine, and deep azure blue distances.

Altogether not so pleasant a place as Hartshead, with its ample outlook over cloud-shadowed, sun-flecked plain, and hill rising beyond hill to form the distant horizon.
Still smug, she was now of a glorified smugness. If one could imagine a lily turned into a god, or a young god turned into a lily and walking down the middle of a sun-flecked Californian lane, it wouldn't be far out, thought Mr. Twist, as an image of the advancing Twinkler.

He looked at her and his face grew grave, as though the shadow of a premonition brushed it. "Going away from me, Charity?" "From everybody. I want you should leave me." He stood glancing doubtfully up and down the lonely forest road that stretched away into sun-flecked distances. "Where were you going? "Home." "Home this way?" She threw her head back defiantly.
