But when she reached the hushed and shadowed interior, which was furnished like a drawing-room with soft carpets and tapestried chairs, she beheld dozens of gold hand-sacks glinting like secret treasure in a cave; and she was embarrassed by the number and variety of them.
The pale oval under the great heavy crown of glinting chestnut seemed paler than usual, the violet eyes seemed more shadowy. There clung to her a puzzling and unfamiliar sense of fragility. "What is it?" he asked, coming to a stop. "I'm worried about you!" she cried. "This is the fourth, almost the fifth month, you've shut yourself up with that transmitter!" "But it's work!" he answered, unmoved.
The hunchback woman at the south door watched them expectantly as they came towards her, and she brightened as she saw the man's hand go to his pocket. He threw her a piece of silver as they passed out. He was in a good humour, his fine lips smiling, a glinting zest in his insolent eyes. He thought he understood women, and he had in fact made a one-sided study of the sex.
Beyond them was anchored the balloon, over the Bloody Ford drawing the Spanish fire to the troops huddled beneath it. There was the death-trap. And, climbing from an ambulance to mount his horse, a little, bent old man, weak and trembling from fever, but with his gentle blue eyes glinting fire Basil's hero ex-Confederate Jerry Carter. "Give the Yanks hell, boys," he shouted.
You're not to be trusted out of sight. I despise you and never want to see you again." Could this be Alice, this little fury, white and tense, with clenched hands and glinting eyes, animal-like in her fierce protectiveness? Joan looked at her in amazement. Hadn't she already been hit hard enough? But before she could speak Alice was in breath again.
The sun was almost shut out by patches of cloud, glinting through only occasionally; but neither crew had felt like postponing the start, so eager were they to be off and so confident were they in the capabilities of their respective machines to meet almost any sort of bad weather.
His eyes, just glinting under the forage cap, surveyed the scene before him, trampled wood where the shells had cut through bough and branch, trampled cornfields where it seemed that a whirlwind had passed, his resting, shattered commands, the dead and the dying, the dead horses, the disabled guns, the drifting sulphurous smoke, and, across the turnpike, in the fields and by the east wood, the masses of blue, overcanopied also by sulphurous smoke.
His turning brought the tower of the college and the distant city before his eyes. The absence of foliage from the trees exposed to view innumerable glinting roofs that were hidden in summer as by a forest. He picked out the tower of St. George's Church and the various steeples with which he had become familiar.
But he pointed to the antlers, glinting bright in the sunshine. He did not know the names for them, but whereas the left antler bore brow, bay, tray, and three on top, the top of the right antler, by some malformation, was not divided at all, and even a child could see this and guess it to be unusual. He was a noble stag nevertheless.
As they approached a swarm of tiny bronze objects, silver winged, fluttered out through the temple tiny birds, smaller than swallows, beautiful and swift-winged, elusive. They were without number; in a moment the air of the temple was alive with flitting, darting spots of glinting colour. Then Chick saw that there were two people sitting high on the crest of that cascade.
