They paused on the edge of darkness, but there was no hesitation about Toby. She was all athrill with expectancy. Then in a flash the room before them was illuminated, and they entered. It was a strange chamber, panelled, built in the shape of a cone. A glass dome formed its roof, and there was no window besides.
"What you done put up now, Jud?" grinned a tall weaver with that blank look of expectancy which settles over the face of the middle man in a negro minstrel troupe when he passes the stale question to the end man, knowing the joke which was coming. "Why, I've put up," said Jud brutally, "'Suffer Little Children to Come Unto Me. That's scriptural authority for cotton mills, ain't it?"
The two ladies had thrown off their wraps; the younger one sat near a big, cheery fire, holding her slender fingers to the blaze; the elder stood facing the door in evident expectancy. The room itself was luxuriously furnished in a somewhat old-fashioned, heavy style; everything about it betokened wealth and comfort.
Sir Walter Raleigh had the materials, at the Tower, to write a history; Lafayette, at Olmutz, lived in perpetual expectancy of release; Moore and Byron, children, flowers, birds, and the Muses cheered Leigh Hunt's year of durance: but in this bleak fortress, innocent and magnanimous men beheld the seasons come and go, night succeed day, and year follow year, with no cognizance of kindred or the world's doings, no works of bard or sage, no element of life, but a grim, cold, deadly routine within stone walls, all tender sympathies, the very breath of the soul, denied, all influx of knowledge, the food of the mind, prohibited, experience a blank, existence a void!

He could feel her expectancy in the silence. "You know we all know that the present moment is very vital. That it's impossible to deny the crisis in the air.
His whole being was absorbed in the expectancy of what had been promised. And that expectancy was not disappointed. None that wait on God shall be put to confusion by any disappointment. The blue above was rift through, the Holy Spirit as a gentle dove came, and remained upon Him, and the Father's voice of pleased approval spoke to His grateful, obedient heart.
There was no need to request their attention. An intense stillness pervaded the room. The lawyer calmly unlocked the tin box and drew out the sealed yellow envelope which Miss Merrick had recently given him. Patsy's heart was beating with eager expectancy. She watched the lawyer break the seal, draw out the paper and then turn red and angry.
I knew, of course, that each fine fellow, down in the machinery room or at the torpedo tubes, had done his very best, and that all his thoughts were centered like mine in keen expectancy on the firing of our first torpedo the eel as we call it, guarded with so much love and care which would speed along accompanied by our warmest wishes.
Then I synchronised watches with representatives of the three batteries present, and young Beale said that he would check the time with D Battery, who were only two minutes' walk from A. That left me to call upon the th Brigade, who lay on the far side of the village three parts of a mile out. We set out, talking and jesting. There was a high expectancy in the air that affected all of us.
It seems that the advocates of your liberal faith have always believed that they were on the verge of accomplishing great victories by drawing the multitudes to them; but as with the victim of tuberculosis, who imagines he is getting better all the time, it is always expectancy and never realization.
