They were by this time close to the royal chariot, near which stood a dismounted trooper, holding his horse by the bridle with one hand, while over his other arm he held unfolded the long, black military cloak in which officers and men alike were wont to envelop themselves at night time to protect their armour and accoutrements from the drenching night dews.
My position, Miss Eyre, with my back to the fire, and my face to the room, favours observation. She pulled out of her box, about ten minutes ago, a little pink silk frock; rapture lit her face as she unfolded it; coquetry runs in her blood, blends with her brains, and seasons the marrow of her bones. 'Il faut que je l'essaie! cried she, 'et a l'instant meme! and she rushed out of the room.
At the same time, the usher handed him the paper. He unfolded it, and as he chanced to be near the light, he could read it. "The President of the Court of Assizes presents his respects to M.

He seemed to have grasped the truths as presented, a great calm came over him, and he died a believer.

Wolf assented with joyous eagerness, while Barbara's cheeks crimsoned with pleasure at so valuable a promise. Yet this subject speedily came to a close, for while talking Wolf had ripped the linen cover in which the roll of velvet was sewed, and, as soon as he unfolded the rich wine-coloured material, Barbara forgot everything else, and burst into loud exclamations of pleasure and admiration.
