How can I worship a God who sends or permits such a thing? You are braver than I. I could see a man shot, but I couldn't look upon what you have described. Yet the picture brings back the moment when we parted when you struggled feebly in my arms with a premonition of your almost mortal weakness, and then sank back white and deathlike.
Beverly had been standing still all this time holding the light high above her head, according to her lover's orders, for she knew now that such he was and that she loved him with all her heart. She was a weird picture standing there as she watched Baldos fighting for their lives, her beautiful face deathlike in its pallor.
"She did so, and with her pallor and her wasted thin face she looked deathlike. At a turn of the path, where a great crag of purple porphyry closes the view of the lowlands, I saw her open her eyes. I rode just behind her holding the little girl with my right arm. 'The child is all right, I cried encouragingly.
Her hands clutched, in a deathlike grip, a cotton umbrella and a small, covered basket. Eugenia hesitated for a single instant, and then took a step forward with outstretched hand, a kindly glow in her face; but as she did so the crowd parted and Nicholas Burr reached his stepmother's side.
The approach to this place is as solitary now as it was thronged and bustling on the evenings of the festival; and in broad daylight one is surprised at the deathlike decay of the sacred surroundings which at night had seemed so full of life.

"You can!" said Harris, sternly; "go on you must salt that card-sharp, or I'll certainly salt you!" A deathlike silence followed.
Everywhere in the halls and corridors cloth was laid down so that no footstep could be heard, and everything was still very, very still. And nothing came to break the silence. The Emperor longed for something to come and relieve the monotony of this deathlike stillness. If only someone would speak to him! If only someone would sing to him.
And the same answer was repeated to every question: “Yes, guilty!” and without the slightest extenuating comment.

They were advancing through the low, narrow stone-lined passage. She steadfastly ignored the hand he held back for support. It was not a pleasant place, this underground way to the outside world.
