"I hope you are not hurt, Bob, by your roll dawn the hatchway?" "No, Captain," he answered, brightening up again after the snub of the lieutenant anent his disobedience, "I fell on the coal-sacks quite softly and haven't got a scratch."
The Carlyles returned in March, she to her domestic services, baking bread, preserving eggs, and brightening grates till her eyes grew dim; he to work at his Diderot, doing justice to a character more alien to his own than even Voltaire's, reading twenty-five volumes, one per day, to complete the essay; then at Count Cagliostro, also for Fraser, a link between his last Craigenputtock and his first London toils.
"Yas, suh," agreed Zachariah, brightening, "an' de yaller-hammer an' de blue-jay an' de an' de rattlesnake," he concluded, with a roving, uneasy look along the roadside. "Do not forget the saucy parroquets we saw yesterday as we came through the forest.
Jim Galway had come into the room, when Jasper Ewold's broad back and great head hove in sight with something of the steady majesty of progress of a full-rigged ship. "The Doge!" Jack exclaimed, brightening. Jim was taken unawares. Was it the name of a new kind of semi-tropical fruit not yet introduced into Arizona? "Not the Doge of Venice hardly, when Mr. Ewold's love runs to Florence!
There were some four hundred neatly written pages, brief separate entries without dates, separate thoughts as it were, and, as he turned through them he found himself more and more absorbed until, presently, he forgot time, place, danger, everything; an hour passed, two hours, and still the detective read on while his candle guttered down to the stick and the brightening day filled his mean stable room; he was absolutely lost in a most extraordinary human document, in one of those terrible utterances, shameless and fearless, that are flung out, once in a century or so, from the hot somber depths of a man's being.
"Wait a minute and I will tell you," said Herbert, his face brightening. "I've had a stroke of luck, mother. I've been engaged to work afternoons, at five dollars a week." "Who has engaged to pay you such high wages?" asked Mrs. Carter, astonished. "A young man staying at the hotel, whose eyes are weak. I am to read to him, and do whatever else he requires. I got the chance through the landlord."
Engle was in the room, bending over the bed with a dampened towel to lay upon Norton's forehead; he showed a sign of fever and his head ached constantly. He looked about quickly as the girl came in, his hand stirring a little, offering itself. She took it by way of greeting and sat down in the chair drawn up at his side. "It's good of you to come!" he said quickly, his eyes brightening.

It was probably the effect of the western sunshine, melting through the thinly diffused vapors that had swept between him and the object that he gazed at.
I told you from the first, Mr. C., that I never give hopes. Particularly in a case like this, where the greater part of the costs comes out of the estate, I should not be considerate of my good name if I gave hopes. It might seem as if costs were my object. Still, when you say there is no change for the better, I must, as a bare matter of fact, deny that." "Aye?" returns Richard, brightening.
'There's sums and geography, said Hepburn, slowly and gravely. 'Geography! said Sylvia, brightening, and perhaps not pronouncing the word quite correctly, 'I'd like yo' to learn me geography. There's a deal o' places I want to hear all about. 'Well, I'll bring up a book and a map next time. But I can tell you something now. There's four quarters in the globe. 'What's that? asked Sylvia.
