All of them had their bodies painted of many colours, and were adorned with the feather's of various birds; and the friendly Indians who had accompanied us from the continent assured us that their painting and adornment were sure indications that they were prepared for battle.
I mounted the rock, and saw Sebhah in the north, where we were to rest in the afternoon. There was a huge stone balancing on a ledge of the rock, which apparently wanted but a feather's weight to throw it down. Bent on mischief, I was going to heave it down, when the people called to me to desist.
He had brought his own rifle to his shoulder more than once, and but a feather's weight more pressure on the trigger would have discharged it, but he was glad he had not done so. "I shall not shoot any one," he said, determinedly, "until I see it must be done for the sake of Dot or myself. I wonder what Red Feather is at?"
Brown tried to talk as he thought Eagle Feather would understand. And the Indian seemed to. "Your lil' gal's bear no here at Eagle Feather's camp," he said with a shake of his head. "Much big medicine, like baby puff-puff train doll is, but Indian no take lil' gal's play bear. See, I and you look in every house." "Oh, no, that isn't necessary," said Mr. Brown.
Diana's words were the feather's weight: she broke God's unbearable silence, and by God's power and mercy saved both. She cried out, not so much in self-defence, for she was a daring, intrepid woman, as in righteous accusation, "You dare not blame me, for you taught me, you brought me to it."
Muir at once," said Feather. unperturbed and smiling brilliantly, "I saw your portrait at the Grosvenor." "Yes," said Mrs. Muir gently. She had risen and was beautifully tall, "the line" was perfect, and she looked with a gracious calm into Feather's eyes. Donal, allured by the hyacinth petal colours, drew near. Robin made an unconscious little catch at his plaid and whispered something.
Harry Somerville sat in front, and full in the blaze of this stove, resting after the labours of the day; his arms crossed on his breast, his head a little to one side, as if in deep contemplation, as he gazed earnestly into the fire, and his chair tilted on its hind legs so as to balance with such nicety that a feather's weight additional outside its centre of gravity would have upset it.
She would die of her first wrong-doing, supposing for a moment that she could be capable of doing wrong. Of sorrow, slender as she seems, Hilda might bear a great burden; of sin, not a feather's weight. Methinks now, were it my doom, I could bear either, or both at once; but my conscience is still as white as Hilda's. Do you question it?" "Heaven forbid, Miriam!" exclaimed the sculptor.
Arthur Clennam moved to attract his attention, and the grey eyebrows turned towards him. 'I beg your pardon, said Clennam, 'I fear you did not hear me announced? 'No, sir, I did not. Did you wish to see me, sir? 'I wished to pay my respects. Mr Casby seemed a feather's weight disappointed by the last words, having perhaps prepared himself for the visitor's wishing to pay something else.
On the afternoon of the day upon which this occurred, Coombe was standing in Feather's drawing-room with a cup of tea in his hand and wearing the look of a man who is given up to reflection. "I saw Mrs. Muir today for the first time for several years," he said after a silence. "She is in London with the boy." "Is she as handsome as ever?" "Quite. Hers is not the beauty that disappears.
