Ambient had her arm round the child's waist, and he was leaning against her knee; but though he looked up at the sound of his father's voice, she gave no sign of releasing him. A lady, apparently a neighbor, was seated near her, and before them was a garden-table, on which a tea-service had been placed.
Thus when a child revolves some minute on one foot, the spectra of the ambient objects appear to circulate round him some time after he falls upon the ground. Thus the palpitation of the heart continues some time after the object of fear, which occasioned it, is removed.
"She doesn't usually come out with that so soon!" Miss Ambient returned in answer to my breathlessness. "Poor lady," I pleaded, "she saw I'm a fanatic." "Yes, she won't like you for that. But you mustn't mind, if the rest of us like you! Beatrice thinks a work of art ought to have a 'purpose. But she's a charming woman don't you think her charming? I find in her quite the grand air."
She repeated my words. "Elements of affection, elements of anxiety. She's very anxious." Miss Ambient put me indescribably ill at ease; she almost scared me, and I wished she would go and write her letters. "His father will have seen him now," I said, "and if he's not satisfied he will send for the doctor." "The doctor ought to have been here this morning," she promptly returned.
It happened that Miss Ambient and I, both at the same moment, saw the tail of her dress whisk out of a doorway, which led the young lady to smile at me, as if I now knew all the secrets of the Ambients.

His clothes were redeemed from the landlord; and setting his face northward, he departed, in the first steamboat, for the ancient city of Albany, and to revisit the scenes of his youth in the valley of the Mohawk. "Who can speak broader than he who has no house to put his head in?" Shakspeare. "With darkness circled, and an ambient cloud."
How could Cynthia have liked him even enough to get into this abominable scrape, which was, however, all over now! Scandal sleeps in the summer, comparatively speaking. Its nature is the reverse of that of the dormouse. Warm ambient air, loiterings abroad, gardenings, flowers to talk about, and preserves to make, soothed the wicked imp to slumber in the parish of Hollingford in summer-time.
The concluding verses are these: "This said, no more remained. The ethereal host Again impatient crowd the crystal coast. The father now, within his spacious hands, Encompassed all the mingled mass of seas and lands; And, having heaved aloft the ponderous sphere, He launched the world to float in ambient air." Of his irregular poems, that to Mrs.
Certainly, at first, she resembled a woman with as few passions as possible; but if she had a passion at all it would indeed be that of Philistinism. Mark Ambient, apparently, ten years before, had simply and quite inevitably taken her for an angel, without asking himself of what. He had been right in calling my attention to her beauty.
