I then call my secretary, and, opening the shutters, dictate to him what I Wave put into shape, after which I dismiss him, then call him in again, and again dismiss him.

How odd it seemed to think that she, a stranger, should know more about Lady Clifford than her own family! Or perhaps it wasn't so strange after all. One's family was often the last to know things, its ignorance was proverbial. She felt a sudden wave of pity for the old man, lying ill and unsuspecting.
He compared the pale, aquiline features with the beauty of the woman who, centuries ago it seemed, was accustomed to take him in her lap and cuddle him and make him brave when childish misadventures came. A greater wave of love than ever came over him.
I have no longer a daughter I tear her from my heart, as she tore honor, righteousness, and faith from hers." Eliza called two Tyrolese with an impetuous wave of her hand to her side.

And Amulya, poor dear boy, when he first came to me how the current of his life flushed with colour, like the river at dawn!

But all these misfortunes were small compared to what was to come, for on the fourth morning a great wave swept off our rudder, and we drifted helpless before the waves.
