It is a wonderful and tragic view, to which no painter but the Roman Costa has done justice; and he, it may be said, has made this landscape of the Carrarese his own. The space between sand and pine-wood was covered with faint, yellow, evening primroses. They flickered like little harmless flames in sun and shadow, and the spires of the Carrara range were giant flames transformed to marble.
The fog indeed seemed to bring the books out and, whilst the world outside was so dark, the little shop flickered away under the gas-jets with little spasmodic leaps into light and colour when the door opened and blew the quivering flame. It was not of the books that Peter was thinking this morning.
Unable to walk he had crawled several hundred yards in the snow, but his strength had given out, and then he had called to the house, on whose dark windows flickered the flames of the fire, the name of the girl he had come so far to see. With a cry of joy and pain at once she recognised him now. It was as her heart had said it was Julien, Manette's brother.

Then he braced himself and asked the direct question to which his friend, for two long hours, had been so plainly leading. "Reed, do you mean this thing is permanent?" "Yes." "You know it for a fact?" "Yes."
Then he hesitated a moment, as if to weigh his words. "No, Herr General, I believe there is nothing more in which you can help me." The old soldier's eyelids flickered for an instant. "Then I bid you a very good day," he said, bowing. The baron hurried home, to share the big good news with his wife. The little bad news she knew already.
His hands were hanging loosely at his sides and he was seemingly unconcerned by what confronted him. Suddenly his eyes flickered to the bushes at one side. Had Ricky betrayed herself, Val wondered breathlessly. Clear now of the cabin, Val wriggled his way around the platform. In a minute he would be able to see the Boss and Red. He gripped the club. Then Jeems stared straight into his face.
Yes, but it will not be you or I! No, he who was last here shall be first there! The Archdeacon-Vicar if we can persuade him who knows but that even for him the crown of martyrdom is reserved?" The dull eyes flickered with unholy amusement. "And the alarm that brings him from the Council Chamber?" "Need not of necessity be real. The pinch will be to make use of it.
David was only a few yards ahead, and she waited. "What is it?" he asked as he came up. The ghost of a smile flickered on Polly's face. "I've just been shut out of the Home!" she said with almost a sob. An angry light leaped in the boy's eyes; but he spoke no word, only clinched his teeth. They went up the walk together, Polly talking fast. Mrs.
Then I went toward the window, softly, quite softly, and I opened it. A breath of icy air glided in like an assassin; it was so cold that I drew aside, and the two candles flickered.
More than all else he delighted to hear about Fergus Mac Roy, who seemed to him the greatest and best of all the Red Branch. In winter, cradled in strong arms, he listened to the reminiscences and conversation of the men of war as they sat and talked round the blazing logs in the hall, while the light flickered upon warlike faces, and those who drew drink went round bearing mead and ale.
