At once he was at the bedside, gazing down upon the fever-ravaged face, with its stubble of beard and the shock of white hair beneath which the cavernous eyes glowed and burned with something of their old fierceness. "Ivan!" whispered the hoarse and feeble voice. A rush of pity overwhelmed the son, and, for the moment, to his own amazement, he could not speak.
"Even if he lights the window, I can't I couldn't! Oh, not tonight! He won't he won't think of it. But I couldn't let him touch me until until I've had a little time to forget!" But she was watching still watching with small, gold-crowned head nodding heavily, eyes half-veiled with sinking lids when that half-shaded window in the dark house glowed suddenly yellow with the light behind it.
What a flood of happiness poured into my soul, and glowed in my whole being! Landlord, more port! Would honest Jack have drunk a binful I would have treated him; and, to say truth, Jack's sympathy was large in this case, and it had been generous all day.
They reminded him of Babette and of himself, and of his future happiness, and his heart glowed at the thought. "What beautiful things you have brought home!" said his old foster-mother; and her strange-looking eagle-eyes sparkled, while she wriggled and twisted her skinny neck more quickly and strangely than ever. "You have brought good luck with you, Rudy. I must give you a kiss, my dear boy."
And when there's anything in the way, it gathers all its strength and sweeps over it. It's a mighty force.

Above their heads the sky glowed in red bars, but down in the stream's hollow the dusk had come, cool and gray.
Tall, and with a wonderful, voluptuous figure, she carried a strikingly beautiful head, surmounted by thick, black plaits, on her proud shoulders, while two large, dark eyes languished and glowed beneath her long lashes, and her beautiful hands looked as if they were carved out of ivory.
Her selfish nature made her grudge any of her husband's estate to others, except, indeed, to Godfrey, who was the only person she cared for. As she thought over the unjust disposition, as she regarded it, which her husband had made of his property, a red spot glowed in her usually pale cheek. Then it was another grievance that money should have been left to the town.
Behind the features glowed a proud, fierce spirit that transformed them. His head was high but his eyes roved from right to left restlessly, never still save when they paused for a flickering instant to examine some gazelle, some distant herd of zebra or wildebeeste standing in the vista of the flat-topped trees.
It was he who was always an attentive listener; it was his scant purse that had often furnished Plunkett with means to pursue his unprofitable speculations; it was to him that the charms of Melinda were more frequently rehearsed; it was he that had borrowed her photograph; and it was he that, sitting alone in his little cabin one night, kissed that photograph, until his honest, handsome face glowed again in the firelight.
George incredulous; it was the fire that glowed in their midst a fire that leaped and trembled and blazed inextinguishable colour, smouldering, sparkling, tossing up a spray of strange light, lambent with those wizard hues of the pennons and streamers floating joyously from the dome of the Palace of the Litany the fire from the subject hearts of a thousand jewels.
