Ethel felt and showed it so much, in her subdued, awe-struck manner, that her father felt checked whenever he was about to return to his ordinary manner, familiarised, as he necessarily was, with the like scenes.
With protruding scarlet tongue and fixed staring eyes, the girl stood immovable and breathless, silently invoking all her family gods to come to her aid in her bold design. With an awe-struck cry of "Mercy! mercy! Kali-Ma!", the thieves fell prostrate at her feet. The girl held her breath. Was it possible that her plan had succeeded? The slow seconds passed. The Chief arose.
"Come and look at it," he said encouragingly. "They're beautiful in this part of the country. Come and watch it." "I'll not watch it!" cried Peg. "Shut it out!" Once more the young man closed the curtains. Peg looked at him and said in an awe-struck voice: "They say if ye look at the sky when the lightnin' comes ye can see the Kingdom of Heaven.

"It is He that talketh with thee." The lad dropped his papyrus, and covered his face.

At last Sir Perceval rose in his seat and said in a low tone: "My sister saw the vision of the Holy Grail, but I, because I am more sinful, have seen it covered with a cloud. Yet because I wish to see it, I vow to spend twelve months and a day in search of it.
To me, this long-drawn-out series of linked clauses without grammatical connection, this succession of adoring exclamations of rapture, wonder, and praise, is very striking. It suggests the manner in which we should vivify all our thoughts of God, by turning them into material for devout reverence; awe-struck, considering meditation.
Three coins spun into the air, and two third portions of a claim, worth even then about 2,000, were lost and won within the space of ten seconds. As might be imagined, gambling was very rife. I well remember one night looking on, awe-struck at the magnitude of the stakes, at a game of loo.
Only the slender thread of an exhausted life saved it from giving way. The king was awe-struck, and sought comfort in the Palace of the Vatican.
