Mellen carried her to the sofa and laid her down upon it, wrapped shawls and eider down quilts over her, holding her hands, which trembled like frightened birds, striving in every way to soothe her, as Elizabeth had so often done in the time gone by for ever. Elsie lay back at length, quiet but utterly exhausted. "Where is Elizabeth?" she moaned. "What has happened?"
But evidently Poleon meant no violence, for he allowed the passion to run from him freely until it had spent its vigor, then said to Runnion: "M'sieu, eider you are brave man or dam' fool." "What do you mean, Frenchy?" said the man addressed, uneasily. "Somebody goin' die for w'at you say jus' now.

He discovered two eider ducks swimming about a fresh-water pond and acting queerly, "dipping their heads under water and keeping them there for a minute or more at a time."
"Something drove me out from the bed, and sent me wandering, wandering, wandering! But how I came here, alas! Norton, I cannot tell you." Rachael shivered all over as she spoke, and, as if drawn that way by some unseen force, came close to Lord Hope's bed, and sat down upon it. "Oh, I am so cold so dreary cold!"

No sooner has the eider duck made her nest than she lines the inside of it with the softest down from her breast.
Its vivid yellows fairly screamed aloud; its whites were as eider down; its blacks glossy as the finest anthracite coal, and its coat long and shaggy as a mountain goat.
