Who can walk, with soul unmoved, among the stately groves of Penshurst, where the gallant, the amiable, the elegant Sir Philip Sidney passed his boyhood; or can look without fondness upon the tree that is said to have been planted on his birthday; or can ramble among the classic bowers of Hagley; or can pause among the solitudes of Windsor Forest, and look at the oaks around, huge, gray, and time-worn, like the old castle towers, and not feel as if he were surrounded by so many monuments of long-enduring glory?
The visitors, seeing Theobald look shy and wholly unmoved by the exhibition of so much consideration for his wishes, would remark to themselves that the boy seemed hardly likely to be equal to his father and would set him down as an unenthusiastic youth, who ought to have more life in him and be more sensible of his advantages than he appeared to be.
John beamed down at him, and shifted his grip on the stick. "Who's here?" he cried. "Historic picture. 'Old Dr. Cook discovers the North Pole." The red-headed young man blinked. The strong light of the open air was trying to his eyes. "Youse had best come down," he observed coldly. "We've got youse." "And," continued John, unmoved, "is instantly handed a gum-drop by his faithful Eskimo."
She screamed in terror, fighting to break his hold, while the trap above them opened, and the head and shoulders of the Southerner appeared, his pistol held in his outstretched hand. "Drop it, you hound!" he ordered fiercely. "Drop it!" The Northerner released his captive, but stood unmoved as he looked into the pistol's muzzle and the blazing eyes of the cornered scout.
Grave-making; and if the two hapless boys quailed at that awful sound, can we accuse them of cowardice? No. Assuredly not. Who amongst the bravest could listen to such a sound unmoved? To have been callous to such a thing would have shown them mere senseless logs, nothing more. "You know what that is?" she said, in a faint voice. "We do," responded Harry Girdwood. "And you?"
Far from me, and from my friends, be such rigid philosophy, as may conduct us, indifferent and unmoved, over any ground which has been dignified by wisdom, bravery or virtue. Sir Joseph Banks, the present respectable President of the Royal Society, told me, he was so much struck on reading it, that he clasped his hands together, and remained for some time in an attitude of silent admiration.
Archie stared at the grotesque rigidity of the body, as though he had been changed into stone, while Professor Braddock stared likewise, scarcely able to credit the evidence of his eyes. Only the Kanaka was unmoved and squatted on his hams, indifferently surveying the living and the dead. As a savage he could not be expected to have the nerves of civilized man.
Boone soon was to learn that they also entertained for him a feeling close to affection. Apparently unmoved by the peril in which he now found himself, Boone looked quietly into the faces of the braves and awaited their action. In a brief time, in the midst of the band, he was conducted back toward Blue Lick Springs.
Flattery, entreaties, threats left him unmoved; he never told me what the third thing was that he had seen behind the Hudson Mountains. William had retired to mix up with his mules; I resumed my binoculars and my silent inspection of the great, smooth path left by the Graham Glacier when something or other exploded that vast mass of ice into vapor.
The priests alone looked on at this sad scene with unmoved gravity and coldness; but when the south wind at last bore away the strangers who had robbed them of their princess, many a curse and execration followed from the Egyptians on the shore; Tachot alone stood weeping there and waving her veil to them.
