They had been friends so long, shared hunger and hardship together, and now .
The golden shafts twinkled on the huge colonnade, the vast ruined arch, the crumbling walls, and the huge castled oval of Humayoon's tomb. In the dark night, the monsoon winds wailed over the wreck of Hindu, Pathan, and Mogul magnificence. The dark demons of Bowanee rejoiced at a new sacrifice to the gloomy goddess; and the straggling jungle was alive again.
Ambrose firmly detached the imploring arms. "You mustn't do that," he said as to a child. "We've got to think hard what to do." "Ah, you hate me!" she wailed. "That's nonsense!" he said sharply. "I am your friend. I will never forget what you did for me!" He took an abrupt turn up and down the stones, trying to think what to do. "Look here," he said finally. "I've got to hurt you.
"Understand, Madame," he continued in his harshest tone, "I have had enough of your lover. He has crossed my path too often. You are my wife, I am your husband.

Then she fairly wailed: "I might have been so happy I might have been!" till it was pity to hear her. Presently she took out her token and showed it to Halldis. "That is all I have of Einar's," she said. Halldis said that she had the girdle he had given her. "Yes," she said, "but this has his teeth-marks in it."
"What shall we do?" she asked me in horror. For the first time I saw her sit down in despair. "We are lost! What shall we do?" she wailed. I trailed the missing horse for many miles, but could only tell he was going steadily, lined out for some distant point. I dared not pursue him farther and leave her behind.

But round Achilles gathered the elders of the Achaians, praying him that he would eat; but he denied them with a groan: "I pray you, if any kind comrade will hearken to me, bid me not sate my heart with meat and drink, since terrible grief is come upon me.
The young Augsburg maiden, whom she thought she had bought out of the flames of purgatory, did not appear to her again, but the vagrant's child came all the more frequently, and whenever she showed herself she wailed and wept bitterly.
There was no response, and when his voice had grown hoarse and futile, and his feet numb from the cold of the thawing ice, he returned to the wreckage, weighed down and all but crushed by the blackest desolation that had, so far, come into his unhappy life. The little girl was crying and he tried to soothe her. "I want mamma," she wailed.
You know she hates me, and will disgrace me in the eyes of the girls." "And you richly deserve it, Eleanor," replied Grace, "but if you produce Anne's costumes at once, I'll agree to say nothing. Hurry, for every second is precious." "I can't get them," wailed Eleanor. "What shall I do?" "Where are they?" asked Grace, with compressed lips. "At 'Heartsease," said Eleanor, and burst into tears.
