The girl told me all this very quietly in the French she learned I was best master of next to my own Gaelic, and what a mad thing's the blood in a youth all the time I was indifferent to her alarum, and pondering upon her charms of lip and eye. She died a twelvemonth later in Glogoe of Silesia, and God give her peace!"

Let these words of the King ring an alarum for us all, and rouse our sleepy souls to watch, as becomes the children of the day. 'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2.
She seemed as an unattainable star seen from the depths of foul pits. "Stop!" he cried from the window. "Here we are, sir," said the cabman. The carriage had drawn up, and a footman's alarum awakened one of the houses. The wretched cabman had likewise drawn up right under the windows of the carriage. Wilfrid could have pulled the trigger of a pistol at his forehead that moment.
He essayed a more energetic tug, and his previous nervousness was not at all diminished by hearing the bell ringing like a fire alarum. ‘Is Mr. Parsons at home?’ inquired Tottle of the man who opened the gate.

Commander Saplana moved calmly out among his mounted suite, fully equipped, from the Castle into the Piazza; yet there had not been many moments in which to make ready since the first notes of that wild alarum had sounded! Those among the citizens entitled to bear arms were quickly accoutred and dashed out to mingle with the throng. "What is it?" men questioned of each other but no one knew.
She grew a little blind and dizzy, sat down on a heap of table-cloths, and held up her arms. "Mother, don't be cross to me this morning, don't O mother, mother, mother! I wish there were anybody to help me!" The battle-fields of life lie in ambush. We trip along on our smiling way and they give no sign. We turn sharp corners where they hide in shadow.

Proceeding to inform Evan how George Stokes had snored in that characteristic manner from boyhood, ever since he and George had slept in a hayloft together; and how he, kept wakeful and driven to distraction by George Stokes' nose, had been occasionally compelled, in sheer self- defence, madly to start up and hold that pertinacious alarum in tight compression between thumb and forefinger; and how George Stokes, thus severely handled, had burst his hold with a tremendous snort, as big as a bull, and had invariably uttered the exclamation, 'Hulloa! same to you, my lad! and rolled over to snore as fresh as ever; all this with singular rustic comparisons, racy of the soil, and in raw Hampshire dialect, the waggoner came to a halt opposite the stone, and, while Evan strode to assist the girl, addressed himself to the great task of arousing the sturdy sleeper and quieting his trumpet, heard by all ears now that the accompaniment of the wheels was at an end.
You look here, Bommaney' the merchant's heart seemed to stand still, and then to beat so wild an alarum that he wondered the other did not hear it The intuition multiplied in strength. He heard beforehand the spoken words, the very tones which marked them. 'You're a safe man, you're a smart man. I suppose there isn't anybody in London who can lay out money to more advantage than you can.
