Farewell, dear friend! We will drink the toast we drank our last night in your rooms at Magdalen. That Sanscrit man translated it for us: 'May each find what he seeks! We must follow our star." Dominey laughed a little bitterly. He pointed to a light glowing fitfully in the bush. "My will-o'-the-wisp," he muttered recklessly, "leading where I shall follow into the swamps!"
It was a sort of disjointed diary, running fitfully through the winter months of some past years, and recording noteworthy days with the East Wessex. And over the telephone Cicely talked and arranged and consulted with men and women to whom the joys of a good gallop or the love of a stricken fatherland were as letters in an unknown alphabet.
A brick fireplace of generous proportions with a high, narrow mantel shelf of brownish red marble occupied most of one of the other, and narrower, walls. A log fire burned there fitfully now, throwing little dancing gleams on the brass andirons and the dark polished floor just in front. All the chairs in the room were broad and deep and enticingly comfortable.
The fog seems to have affected our wits. I have lit every lamp and candle, and they flicker fitfully, like Jeanne's eyes. The fog is getting more and more dense. Jeanne is sitting on the sofa, her hand pressed to her heart, and I seem to hear it beating, even from here. I feel as though some one were dying near me here in the room. Joergen, is it you? Answer me, is it you? Ah!
A drizzling rain began to fall, and the wanderers on the beach were destined to a new draft of misery.

He had slept fitfully since their hour of wakefulness together in the night, and several times he had shown signs of extreme restlessness.
Italy will right herself." Undoubtedly, external policy has helped Italy greatly. Whilst France and England have played a fitfully obstructionist and generally uninspired policy towards the restoration of European trade, Italy has been steadily working in a positive direction. She has received substantial help from Germany, help in return for help.
"A voice upon the prairies, A cry of woman's woe, That mingleth with the autumn blast All fitfully and low." Mrs. Sigourney. The accident to the Sea Lion of the Vineyard occurred very near the close of the month of March, which, in the southern hemisphere, corresponds to our month of September.
The firing at the Arsenal between three and four o'clock waked her. She sprang to her feet and looked out the window. The street lamps flickered fitfully in the drizzling rain. No one was passing. There were no shouts, no disturbances. She wondered about the shots. A crowd of drunken fools were still hanging around the Galt House bar perhaps. She went back to bed and slept again.
They are re-disposed, partially and fitfully, in another relation; they are made to figure as creatures of the Russian scene, at the impact of East and West in the Napoleonic clash. It is a mighty antinomy indeed, on a scale adapted to Tolstoy's giant imagination.
Fresh from a bath and shave and wearing a clean uniform, the Prussian showed vast improvement in looks if not in equilibrium. But his mouth twitched fitfully, his eyes wandered and disclosed a disquieting superabundance of white, and his tongue was noticeably thicker than before. "Well, my friend!" he said "you are truly disappointing. The watch said you had made no sound since going below.
