There were echoing noises at one end of the great chamber. What had seemed to be a wall of stone proved to consist of scores of great gates, standing tier upon tier. And the gates began to open and fold back. One after another they opened and folded back, revealing an immense, brilliantly-lighted space of incomparable grandeur. It was the Hall of Parents!
If we were in that brilliantly-lighted drawing-room of yours, I should probably hesitate long before speaking plainly, as I am going to do now." He saw her clasp her hands tightly, but he had no key to what was passing in her mind. He drew nearer to her. "You know, Philippa," he began, "that I have always been fond of you.
She only played a few chords, but they sufficed to call up a whole train of memories; she sank on a divan in the darkest corner she could find in the brilliantly-lighted room, and gave herself up to reviewing the many events of the last few days.
"You should do so much be so much in the world," she answered, thoughtfully. "Sans peur et sans reproche!" he cried, half-amused, half-cheerlessly. "What a pity I met you too late!" They were now at the broad entrance of the brilliantly-lighted hotel. Several loungers, smoking their after-dinner cigars, gazed at the couple curiously. "Mauville's a lucky dog," said one.

The chase had come to an end for that moment, at any rate. Boldly, openly, with absolute nonchalance, Burchill walked into a brilliantly-lighted entrance of the Herapath Flats! In the course of Triffitt's brief and fairly glorious journalistic career, he had enjoyed and suffered a few startling experiences.
Mark Elwood, much chagrined and discomposed at the discovery of such an untoward first reception of his brother, now ushered him into the brilliantly-lighted hall, where the two stood in such singular contrast that no stranger would have ever taken them for brothers, Mark being, as we have before described him, a good-sized, and, in the main, a good-looking man; while the other, whom we have introduced as Arthur Elwood, was of a diminutive size, with commonplace features, and a severe, forbidding countenance, made so, perhaps, by intense application to business, together with the unfavorable effect caused by a blemished and sightless eye.
They passed through the brilliantly-lighted inn, where landlady, chambermaids, and waiters stood grinning in rows to see, and Winnington hurried his charge into the closed motor standing at the inn's back door. "Take the street behind the hotel, and get out by the back of the town. Be quick!" said Winnington to the chauffeur.
