Once clear of the banked snow-drifts, which rose to the height of the stockade, they moved rapidly over the crusted surface towards the dark wall of woods which frowned down upon them in the twilight, and, in a few moments, the light of the splendid aurora was shut out, and the myriad of night lights were suddenly extinguished.
For some minutes all was a happy confusion, and Ibrahim took advantage of it to fall on his knees before Aurora, and search in the fifth fold of her dress for the missing coral bead. In the midst of the general rejoicing Hassan alone bore a gloomy face. 'Alas! he said, 'everyone is happy but the miserable being you see before you.
"If every one thought I was engaged to you, or going to be, no other man could ask for me. It's simple enough, I'm sure!" "And you wish other men to ask you to marry them, I suppose?" Marcello was a little pale, but he tried to throw all the contempt he could command into his tone. Aurora smiled sweetly. "Naturally," she said. "I'm only a woman." "Which means that I'm a fool to care for you!"
'What news? asked Molly, for she had heard of the affair between the Good Fortune and the Aurora some days before; and, to tell the truth, it had rather passed out of her head just at this moment. 'Hannot yo' heard all about t' press-gang and t' whaler, and t' great fight, and Kinraid, as is your cousin, acting so brave and grand, and lying on his death-bed now?
This was the reason she gave the name of Clare to the daughter to whom she gave birth, in the hopes of seeing the accomplishment of what it might signify. Indeed, from her earliest years, her virtue shone as an aurora, the prognostication of a fine day.
There stood near the door of her dressing-room an unknown female, wearing intricate gold ear-pendants and a dingy cotton dress without any collar. "Chi è voi?" inquired Aurora, lifting her head. "I am the Ildegonda," answered the woman, whose smile and everything about her apologized, and deprecated displeasure.
But Mrs. Krill might have strangled her husband so as to get the money." "What makes you think she did?" asked Aurora, doubtfully. "Well, you see, from what Jessop says, Mrs. Krill is devotedly attached to Maud, and she may have been anxious to revenge her daughter on Krill. He acted like a brute and fastened the child's lips together, so Mrs. Krill treated him in the same way."
"It might be," replied Redgrave, turning his own telescope towards the northern pole of Ganymede, "though I never heard of a satellite having an aurora. Perhaps it's the Sun shining on the ice."
“Now think of the sea; think of a storm; think of a boat with people in it. Picture to yourself a wonderful aurora borealis and a sunken city rising from the sea. Imagine a sea that had suddenly become calm, and in the light a strange phenomenon. Conjure up such a scene before your mind’s eye, or conjure up something totally different, for this is a false way of getting at the meaning of music.
"That sideways bend you've given to your body it's wonderful! But can you stand it, do you think? Of course I'll give you rests as often as I can, but even so it will be a very trying pose to hold." Magda sat up, letting her feet slide slowly over the edge of the divan. The "feet of Aurora" someone had once called them white and arched, with rosy-tipped toes curved like the petals of a flower.
