Rose commanded strict silence, and placed himself near the exit preparatory to giving the signal. It was an exciting moment, and the bravest heart beat fast. A signal came, but not the one they looked for. At the very moment of action, the man whom Rose had left at the floor-opening in the kitchen gave the danger-signal!
Evidently this was the great Paolo, master of the air and ships that sail therein; and as evidently he had heard of us. Now I knew what the Baron had meant when he said to his wife: "Something shall happen, my dear." He had telegraphed a danger-signal to Paolo, and Paolo had lost not a moment in responding.
But she had not fully counted on her cousin's loyalty to his wife, his indifference, almost amounting to dislike at last, for herself. "Don't you feel, Idina," he interposed with a deadly quietness she knew to be a danger-signal, "that any story which er bores my wife had better be left untold in her house?
It was a dark, starless night, but so warm that the easterly sea-breeze fanned us like a zephyr. It seemed like La Belle France winking amicably to us across the waters. And a little to the left twinkled "The Green Man" no friendly public-house, but a danger-signal from behind the Goodwin Sands, likewise visible but by miracle.
And now let me say, in one word, hoisting the danger-signal is the work of kindness, and Jesus Christ was never more loving than when from His lips there came these words, heavy with His own sorrow, and stern with the prophecy of retribution. I know that Christian teachers have often spoken of the solemn things beyond, in tones much to be deplored, and which weaken the force of their message.
Espin said, "like a danger-signal on a dark night"; the sodium pair were identified at Tulse Hill, and the yellow helium ray was suspected to lurk close beside them. One striking feature will be at once remarked. It is that of the pairing of bright with dark lines.
The Bishop's mouth, though it spoke of an indomitable will, had a certain twist of the lip, his deep-set, benevolent eyes had a certain twinkle which made persons like Lord Newhaven and Hester hail him at once as an ally, but which ought to have been a danger-signal to some of his clerical brethren to Mr. Gresley in particular. The Bishop respected and upheld Mr.
There is one precaution to be taken: the villages must be protected against the passers-by, who might inadvertently trample them under foot. I surround each of them with a palisade of reed-stumps. In the centre I plant a danger-signal, a post with a paper flag. The sections of the paths thus marked are forbidden ground; none of the household will walk upon them.
One of the earliest signs of approaching illness such as consumption, anæmia, and mental disorder is to be found in the more or less sudden cessation of the period. This should always be taken as a danger-signal, and as indicating the need of special medical advice.
He had written in his note-book: 'To forgive is godlike. Be as God unto thyself. He had made a step towards manhood. He had thought it a hideous, irremediable plunge to ruin, and yet somehow he seemed to stand the higher for it. The episode was to be hateful for ever in memory. But it was to cloud life no longer only to stand as a sign of warning, a danger-signal.
