Musing on these strange things, she unclasped, scarcely conscious of the act; a gold necklace, which Huldbrand had lately purchased for her of a traveling trader; half dreamingly she drew it along the surface of the water, enjoying the light glimmer it cast upon the evening-tinted stream.
The bronze visage of the emperor seems to melt into a smile as these tremulous billows of melody go sweeping around his brow, and the Hortensias on the queen's grave raise dreamingly their heads of bloom, in which the dews of heaven, or the tears of the departed one, glisten like rarest gems, and seem to look forth lovingly and listen to this ditty, which now for France has won so holy a significance holy because it is the master-chant of a religion which all men and all nations should revere the "religion of our memories."
Warm as the day had been, a delicious coolness now began to temper the air; for the wind had shifted into the northwest. A meadowlark sang dreamingly in the wild grass of the low lands hard by, over which two or three prairie hawks hovered with wings that beat rapidly.

My mother leant upon the parapet, her eyes fixed dreamingly upon the distant mountains, and a smile crept to her lips. "What are you thinking of?" I asked. "Oh, only of things that happened over there" she nodded her head towards the distant hills as to some old crony with whom she shares secrets "when I was a girl." "You lived there, long ago, didn't you, when you were young?" I asked.
From many voices came the sounds of lamenting and weeping, screams and shrieks: "Help! help! have pity on us, save us! The Austrians are hewing us down they are burning our houses save us!" Gotzkowsky dropped his hands from his face and listened. "What was that? who cries for help?" asked he, dreamingly, still occupied with his own sorrows, scarcely conscious of the reality.
I had fixed upon a course, and as Roderick, dreamingly indifferent, prepared to talk about that which he called my "madness," I took Hall's manuscript, and read it to him. When I had finished, there was a strange light in his eyes. "Let us go at once," he said; and that was all. We caught the first train to London; and were at the Hotel Columbia by Charing Cross in time for dinner.
