If with the solitary help of those pinions we sought to reach those far-distant and diamond-studded walls encircling the stronghold of Hellenism, we should certainly not get very far; once more, therefore, we need the same leaders and tutors, our German classical writers, that we may be borne up, too, by the wing-strokes of their past endeavours to the land of yearning, to Greece.

It was almost a repetition of that other home-coming years before, when they had gathered to greet her, then a happy, joyous girl just out of school. Lucy in their honor wore the dress that had so astonished Martha, and a diamond-studded ornament which she took from her jewel-case and fastened in her hair.
With sable gauze The nave was all o'erhung; the altar round Stood twenty giant saints, uplifting each A torch; and in the midst reposed on high The coffin, with o'erspreading pall, that showed, In white, redemption's sign; thereon were laid The staff of sovereignty, the princely crown, The golden spurs of knighthood, and the sword, With diamond-studded belt: And all was hushed In silent prayer, when from the lofty choir, Unseen, the pealing organ spoke, and loud From hundred voices burst the choral strain!

And Walen, the jeweller, proved beyond a doubt that the case I claimed was purchased at his shop." Bell nodded gravely.
"Him with the five thousand francs in his breeches pocket, and the diamond-studded gold watch on his wrist?" said Brock. "The same, sorr, the same!" said Clancy eagerly, and with his eyes glistening. "And have you made out which of them he is, sorr?" "No," said Riley shortly. "And remember, Sergeant, there are to be no men going over the parapet this night without orders.
