Play the game fifty-fifty with him and you'll land on both feet. And you, Miss Conover, must not come here again." "I promise." "I'll tell you a little secret. It was the boss who sent you out of town.
An evening star shining over a dark pine tree is the whitest thing in the universe because it is LIVING whiteness whiteness possessing a soul. How full this old orchard is of twilight! Do you know, I have been trysting here with ghosts." "The Family Ghost?" I asked, very stupidly. "No, not the Family Ghost. I never saw beautiful, broken-hearted Emily yet.
Under the groynes there is shadow as in summer; once and again the sea runs up and breaks on the beach, and the foam, white as the whitest milk, hisses as it subsides among the pebbles; it effervesces and bubbles at the brim of the cup of the sea. Farther along the chalk cliffs stand up clear and sharp, the green sea beneath, and the blue sky above them.
Soon the boat was to his disordered vision no longer drifting helplessly upon a lonely sea; she was tranquilly gliding under silken sails up the winding reaches of a gently flowing stream, the crystal waters of which flowed over golden sands and between banks of richest flowery verdure, with overshadowing trees whose boughs drooped beneath their load of blushing fruit; whilst, in the distance, palaces of whitest marble gleamed amid the many-tinted foliage, and all the air was musical with the songs of birds.
With his right hand, he started to tear her beautiful face to shreds with the cruel spurs, forever to ruin her glorious features, when, as if through a miracle, the door was thrown wide open, and a strange figure stood on the sill a Mexican in a great sombrero, a flaming red kerchief at his throat, and eyes that gleamed and glistened, teeth that were like the whitest ivory.
