"It is for liars only who are first cousin to thieves that there is no hope. It is in falsehood only that there is real loss of honour." "You are defending that satyr, I think," he said frostily. "I desire to be just." "Justice may seem to you a different matter when at last you shall have resolved yourself to become Marquise de La Tour d'Azyr." He spoke bitterly.
The aurora borealis flashed its brilliant shafts of color against the sable breast of heaven, the tall pines, stripped bare, every branch thick with snow and dropping icicles, stood, pale ghosts of the forest, shedding frozen tears the moon, more like steel than silver, shone frostily cold, her light seeming to deepen rather than soften the dreariness of the land and on on on they went, Britta enveloped to the chin in furs, steadily driving the strange elfin-looking steeds with their horned heads casting long distorted shadows on the white ground, and Philip beside her, urging her on with feverish impatience, while he listened to the smooth trot of the reindeer, the tinkle of the bells on their harness, and the hiss of the sledge across the sparkling snow.
"I lost the address. Couldn't even say that it was a hotel. I believe it was a club.

The sea was lifting and whitening; something of mistiness had grown up over the horizon that made a blue dulness of the junction of the elements there; but though a few clouds out of the collection of vapour in the north-east had floated to the zenith and were sailing down the south-west heaven, the azure remained pure and the sun very frostily white and sparkling.
She had ever a laugh or a smile for him, and her hand lingered in caress whenever it chanced to touch his. Yet, always, when she looked at McCan, her face went hard and pitiless and her eyes flashed frostily. In the night came wind and snow, and through a day of blizzard they fought their way blindly, missing the turn of the way that led up a small stream and crossed a divide to the west.
She looked from one to the other, at Julia tall and flaming, and Desmond diffusing a kind of electricity. "I believe you two have been quarrelling; I ought not to have left you alone."
