The girl's pretty face flushed and she cast down her large, blue eyes in embarrassment, while a painful silence followed. She was evidently agitated by a deep emotion, for her breast heaved visibly beneath the worn merino shawl she wore over her faded gingham dress, and her hands trembled slightly as she folded them on her lap. "Why this embarrassment, my dear child?" said the old man kindly.
He is, in fact, a delightful old gentleman to look at and pleasant to converse with, and on his brow every one who can read may see, visibly stamped, the seal of a harmless and honest life. At the contemplation of such a man, one's opinion of humanity is sensibly raised, and even house-agents, plumbers, and suburban builders, feel that, after all, virtue may bring with, it some reward.
The expression of Caleb's face was visibly softening while Fred spoke. But he swung his head with a solemn slowness, and said "That makes things more serious, Fred, if you want to take Mary's happiness into your keeping." "I know that, Mr. Garth," said Fred, eagerly, "and I would do anything for her.
He intended not to stand to them any longer than he lay under that force that visibly drew them from him contrary to his own inclinations. Swift. Sad trash. Burnet. The first volume of the Earl of Clarendon's "History" gives a faithful representation of the beginnings of the troubles, though writ in favour of the court. Swift. Burnet.
The whole monument is a proof of exquisitely careful study; but I am not sure that this impression on the part of the spectator is the happiest possible.

I followed in the next and we set out to visit Verdun, to visit the ruins, or, rather, to see not a city that was dead, but a city that was visibly, hourly dying a city that was vanishing by blocks and by squares but was not yet fallen to the estate of Ypres or Arras; a city that in corners, where there were gardens behind the walls, still smiled; a city where some few brave old buildings still stood four square and solid, but only waiting what was to come.
So, in fact, Spain was governed by an absolute despot who was Emperor of Germany, where he resided, and she visibly declined from the strength and prosperity which had been created by the wise and personal administration of Ferdinand and Isabella.
The Brigadier-General was not in the best of humor, and he chafed visibly at the old man's answers. "Does not Goober Creek run down there about a mile in that direction?" he again inquired, pointing with his field-glasses. "I don't know, sah." "How long have you lived here?" asked the Brigadier savagely. "Nigh on to 55 year, sah."
We advanced from the river Arguna by easy and moderate journeys, and were very visibly obliged to the care the Czar has taken to have cities and towns built in as many places as it is possible to place them, where his soldiers keep garrison, something like the stationary soldiers placed by the Romans in the remotest countries of their empire; some of which I had read of were placed in Britain, for the security of commerce, and for the lodging of travellers.
"And what's the point of THAT?" Her impatience, which visibly increased, carried her away again, and by the time she reached the window he had launched another question. "Are you in such a hurry she should know that Van doesn't want her?" "What do you call a hurry when I've waited nearly a year?
