Darrell started, just as the traveller almost touched him, started, recoiled, as one on whose path rises a wild beast. His bended head became erect, haughty, indignant, defying; but his cheek was pale, and his lip quivered. "You here! You in England-at Fawley! You presume to accost me! You, sir, you!" Lionel just caught the sound of the voice as the doe had come timidly up to him.
June stopped; and the little white figure there looked so slight, the attitude of the bended head was so childlike and pitiful, that the mulatto woman's face twinkled and twitched in a way most unwonted to its usual stony lines. She never stirred till Daisy rose up and submissively allowed herself to be put to bed; and then waited on her with most reverent gentleness. So she did next morning.
"An', whisper, when ye get home go to yer own little room, an' there on yer bended knees ask God to forgive ye. Make up yer mind to shun bad company for the future; an' never, from this hour, will we speak another word about this either ye to me or I to ye, save an' except ye may come an' say: 'I've done as ye bid me, Missis Barry. It's all hunkey dory!"
"But my father my father!" cried the Queen, "who ever bended that soul of steel?" "It is not my father I fear; it is thee and thy monks. Forgettest thou that Edith and I are within the six banned degrees of the Church?" "True, most true," said the Queen, with a look of great terror; "I had forgotten. Avaunt, the very thought! Pray fast banish it my poor, poor brother!" and she kissed his brow.
And there was funny old Confucius with his 'Coarse rice for food, water to drink, the bended arm for a pillow happiness may be enjoyed even with these; but without virtue, both riches and honour seem to me like the passing cloud. Another one of his is 'In the book of Poetry are three hundred pieces but the designs of them all mean, "Have no depraved thoughts." Rather good for a Chinaman, wasn't it?
"You have my princely word," he answered solemnly, at which, with bended knee, Francesco stooped to kiss his ducal hand. And so they departed on the horses that they kept as the spoils of war.
A bright black eye she hath, whose glance is as an Indian sword, And from her eyebrows' bended bows full many a shaft shoots she. Yea, and the third of you Mesrour the eunuch is, I ween, The swordsman of his vengeance. So, if true my saying be, I have of this my case attained to all for which I hoped And hearts' content from every side is come, indeed, to me.
When the General sat down, he did it with the conviction that if there was anything in good strong testimony, a great speech and believing and admiring countenances all around, Mr. Morgan's case was killed. Ex-Governor Roop leant his head upon his hand for some minutes, thinking, and the still audience waited for his decision. Then he got up and stood erect, with bended head, and thought again.
His own he let slide over the side of his canoe farthest from the Indians. The Blackfeet instantly covered the two canoes with bended bows and leveled muskets. The whole bank was bristling with their fierce array, so that the narrow river seemed shadowed. A chief called sternly, and gestured, bidding the two canoes to land where the bank had washed in a little cove.
At length I felt a light pressure, a touch of healing, fall on my bended head. It was her hand. Still I hid my face, for I was ashamed before her.
