As he sat under the beech-limbs above the river, watching its brown current sweep the willow-roots of the banks, he thought how this same current, within its next short reach, passed from wooded seclusion to the noise and pollution of the mills. So his own life seemed to have passed once more from the tranced flow of the last weeks into its old channel of unillumined labour.
Matilda sat and watched him, with her full, haggard eyes, for a long time, as if tranced. She saw that he knew he must go soon she saw like a clairvoyant. Later on she told Emmie what her father had said about the watch and chain and the money. 'What right has he' he meaning Hadrian 'to my father's watch and chain what has it to do with him? Let him have the money, and get off, said Emmie.
Dimly, like the daybreak glimmer of a sky long wrapped in fogs, a sign of consciousness began to dawn in the face of the tranced girl. Once more the breath of life began to stir in that full bosom, to which again a vital warmth had on this day of days crept slowly back.

The hot impatience of his heart would not Permit him to remain at Paris; he At Amiens awaits the joyful tidings; And thence to Calais reach his posts to bring With winged swiftness to his tranced ear The sweet consent which, still we humbly hope, Your royal lips will graciously pronounce. ELIZABETH. Press me no further now, Count Bellievre.
Tranced in her Lord's Olympian smile His lotus-loving Memphian lies, The musky daughter of the Nile With plaited hair and almond eyes. Might we but share one wild caress Ere life's autumnal blossoms fall, And Earth's brown, clinging lips impress The long cold kiss that waits us all!
Did the distance and the doors always deaden the sounds of late revels, so as not to break Lady Catharine's slumbers? I fear not. "Thou art not steeped in golden languors; No tranced summer calm is thine, Ever-varying Madeline."
How odd that he should have fancied that brave tower arrogant; it was tranced in the very air of friendliness and love the fairy residence, the moated keep of all the sweet old tales his nurse was used to tell him when he was a child in Cam-mercy.
The September afternoon was full of drone. The roofs of the city from Hattie's kitchen window, which overlooked Morningside Heights, lay flat as slaps. Tranced, indoor quiet. Presently Hattie began to tiptoe. The seventy-two jars were untopped now, in a row on a board over the built-in washtub. Seventy-two yawning for content. Squnch!
