A very dear chum or near relative of the dog's might doubtless have found the account enthralling; but what possible interest a stranger a man who evidently didn't even know the dog could be expected to take in the report, it was difficult to conceive. The friend at first tried to feel excited, and murmured: "Wonderful!" "Very strange, indeed!"
But he did not anticipate and I believe he would not have indorsed their future encroachments and their ambitious schemes for enthralling the mind of the world, to say nothing of personal aggrandizement and the usurpation of temporal authority.
The evening was mild, the scene enthralling, and we would have been perfectly happy but for the deeply disturbing question of a bed. With a courage born of need I led the way straight toward the basement portal of a small brown hotel on Fourth Avenue, and was startled almost into flight to find myself in a bar-room. Not knowing precisely how to retreat, I faltered out, "Have you a bed for us?"
She put out her little hand and gave the guest's arm in its muslin sleeve a sharp, scientific pinch that Pip had taught her. Then she fled madly away down the long paddocks, to the bit of bush beyond. "Insufferable," Aldith muttered angrily, and it needed all Meg's apologies and coaxings to get her into an amiable frame of mind again, and to induce her to communicate the enthralling secret.
The intense struggle of Ligeia's soul to win its way back to the world could be worked up with enthralling suspense: and when at last the climax was reached and the husband realized that his lost love stood living before him, the purpose of the story would be accomplished, Ligeia's will would have done its work, and there would be nothing more to tell.
A little later on there were the blossoms of the trillium to be plucked, blossoms whose beauty was the more alluring in that they were supposed to be poisonous. But it was with the deepening of the summer that the spell of the Perdu deepened to its most enthralling potency.
Lust, the specific sexual impulse, is indeed the primary and essential element in this synthesis, for it alone is adequate to the end of reproduction, not only in animals but in men. But it is not until lust is expanded and irradiated that it develops into the exquisite and enthralling flower of love.
"You could tell?" "Yes just as well and better than at target practice; for the target was larger and solid. It was enthralling, this watching the flight of our shells toward their target." Where were the scars from the wounds? One looked for them on both the Lion and the Tiger. An armour patch on the sloping top of a turret might have escaped attention if it had not been pointed out.
When I saw this I turned with threefold concentration of desire and love towards that expression of hope which is called beauty, such as is worked in marble here. For I think beauty is truthfully an expression of hope, and that is why it is so enthralling because while the heart is absorbed in its contemplation, unconscious but powerful hope is filling the breast.
Elizabeth was there, and Miss Caroline Burrell, and a great many people whom they knew. But for him, no one was there. "Denas was all he longed for, cared for, lived for!" Oh, much more of the same kind, for Roland's love lay at the point of his pen. And he told her also that he had heard many singers, many famous singers, and none with a voice so wildly sweet, so enthralling as her voice.
