Embarking again and crossing over, they worked their way up the stream in this manner, while the moon, serene and detached in a cloudless sky, did what she could, though so far off, to help them in their quest; till her hour came and she sank earthwards reluctantly, and left them, and mystery once more held field and river. Then a change began slowly to declare itself.
The hippogriffs dance before dawn in the upper air; long before sunrise flashes upon our lawns they go to glitter in light that has not yet come to the World, and as the dawn works up from the ragged hills and the stars feel it they go slanting earthwards, till sunlight touches the tops of the tallest trees, and the hippogriffs alight with a rattle of quills and fold their wings and gallop and gambol away till they come to some prosperous, wealthy, detestable town, and they leap at once from the fields and soar away from the sight of it, pursued by the horrible smoke of it until they come again to the pure blue air.
"Consolation, mam! For what I say, I demand to know for what?" "Loneliness, Jack!" "Eh, Duchess, what, mam? Haven't I got my dear Clo, and the Bo'sun, eh, mam eh?" "The Bo'sun, yes, he smokes a pipe, but Cleone can't, so she looks at the moon instead, don't you dear?" "The moon, God-mother?" exclaimed Cleone, bringing her gaze earthwards on the instant. "Why I, I the moon, indeed!"
Then madness seemed to come upon me, and seizing my last two thousand florins, I staked them upon twelve of the first numbers wholly by chance, and at random, and without any sort of reckoning.

A light breeze stirred the tender green grass, shaking down a shower of pink almond bloom as it swept fan-like through the luminous air, a skylark half lost in the brilliant blue, began to descend earthwards, flinging out a sparkling fountain of music with every quiver of his jewel- like wings, and away in the sheltered shade of a small hazel copse, the faint fluty notes of a nightingale trembled with a mysterious sweetness suggestive of evening, when the song should be full.
He was not surprised when an object same shooting downwards from the Drifter. It struck one of the plane wires and then dropped earthwards. "Something's whipped loose," spoke Hiram quickly. "It's one of the elevator wires," said Dave, darting a quick glance at the spot. "This won't do." Now it was an over-water flight with no measured course to pursue.
Sometimes after one of these squabbles a pale blue downy feather or two would come floating earthwards, touch the palmetto leaves of the house-roof and cling there, or be blown on to the grass. It was some days after the appearance of the schooner, and Dick was making ready to go into the woods and pick guavas. He had all the morning been engaged in making a basket to carry them in.
I am a Queen, daughter of King Omar bin al-Nu'uman." Hearing this, he was seized with trembling and hung his head earthwards, And Shahrazad perceived the dawn of day and ceased to say her permitted say. When it was the Sixty-ninth Night,
"In that case," said she, "I also will remain at the top;" but her determination arrived too late. With a ferocious gesture the little official shut the door and gave the signal, and Mrs. Portheris sank earthwards, a vision of outraged propriety. I felt sorry for momma. "And now," I inquired of Mr. Dod, "why was the elevator not safe?" "I'll tell you," said Dicky. "Do you know Mrs.
That doubtful wind keeps yours suspended in a graceful minuet; its pace is accelerated but earthwards! it has committed self-destruction by running foul of a rose-bush. A general blank!
