Now, when Square Billin's died of a fever, that same winter, they hove all his books into that old lumber-room over Sudleigh court-house. So, when I was fixin' up the court-house clock, t'other day, I clim' up to that room, an' shet myself in there. An', Mary, I found them rec'ids!" He looked at her with that complete and awe-stricken triumph which nobody else had ever seen upon his face.
Standing on the lonely ramparts of Elsinore, and with awe-stricken, preoccupied, involuntary glances questioning the star-lit midnight air, while he talks with his attendant friends, Edwin Booth's Hamlet is the simple, absolute realisation of Shakespeare's haunted prince, and raises no question, and leaves no room for inquiry, whether the Danes in the Middle Ages wore velvet robes or had long flaxen hair.
Since the day 'e stood up for you in that Dutch saloon-bar at Gueldersdorp, what is there we don't owe to 'im you and me, and all the blooming crew of us? And because 'e'll tyke no thanks, 'e gits ingratitude the dirtiest egg the Devil ever hatched!" "Cripps!" gasped W. Keyse, awe-stricken by this lofty flight of rhetoric. Ignoring him, she pursued her way.
"My God! sir," gasped the officer who stood at the side of the awe-stricken post commander, "I believe it's Red Cloud's entire band, and they've got our poor boys surrounded! Can't we send help?" "Send help! Merciful heaven, man, who's to help us? Who's to protect these poor women and children if we go? I have but two companies left.
Mary and Elizabeth drew off a little space, awe-stricken by the future member for Eccleston. As he bent his head over a book, he said, "I implore you; five minutes alone." The little girls could not hear; but Ruth, hemmed in so that no escape was possible, did hear. She took sudden courage, and said, in a clear voice, "Will you read the whole passage aloud? I do not remember it."
"Perhaps," said I, after a long pause and in a low voice, for I was awe-stricken, "perhaps if he be dead he may have repented of all offence to you before he died." "Repented ha, ha!" "Or if he be not dead " "Hush, boy, hush!" "While there is life, there is hope of repentance."
Why, in France, I've seen hill peasants mining their stream-beds for soil as our fathers mined the streams of California for gold. Only our gold's gone, and the peasants' soil remains, turning over and over, doing something, growing something, all the time. Now, I guess I'll hush." "My God!" Billy muttered in awe-stricken tones. "Our folks never done that. No wonder they lost out."
"We'd better go and see if there's nothing can be done," a respectable workman suggested. Harriet led the way, about a dozen people following, all awe-stricken and silent.
We parted for the night with an awe-stricken wonder as to what we should hear of in the morning and, on my part, with a vehement desire for the night to be over and gone: I was so afraid lest the robbers should have seen, from some dark lurking-place, that Miss Pole had carried off her plate, and thus have a double motive for attacking our house.
At least, I so interpreted its look, when it positively met and responded to my own awe-stricken gaze, and therefore I lay the case, as far as I am able, before mankind, on whom God has imposed the necessity to suffer in soul and body till this dark and dreadful wrong be righted. Thence we went to the school-rooms, which were underneath the chapel.
