Above Aosta are the sources of the river Po, one of the chief of these being the Dora Baltea, in a deep gorge half-hid by chestnut-trees. It is twenty miles from the lake to the river twenty miles of wild mountain incline twenty miles from Switzerland to Italy, from the eternal snows and faint-colored flowers of the frigid zone, to the dust, and glare of the torrid.
The Russian Count held her very tightly, and they stopped quite out of breath, where the screened windows half-hid the poor ladies of the harem, who watched the throng from their safe retreat. The Count bowed and Tamara bowed. A section, not the whole dance, was evidently the Russian custom.
That instant the half-hid mandolin burst into quavering melodies. "Thou art back again, Nightingale?" called the lady, descending. "Yes, Madame Marie." "Madame!" exclaimed Klussman, and as his voice escaped repression it rang through the hall. He advanced, but his lady lifted her finger to hold him back. "Presently, Klussman. The first matter in hand is to rebuke this runaway."
At this thought, I turned my face aside from the lovely sky of eve and lonely vale of Morton I say lonely, for in that bend of it visible to me there was no building apparent save the church and the parsonage, half-hid in trees, and, quite at the extremity, the roof of Vale Hall, where the rich Mr. Oliver and his daughter lived.
And, drawn by an invincible power, Daniel had risen to return to the house; and there, half-hid under the shadow of the opposite side, in a deep doorway, he watched anxiously the windows, as if they could have told him any thing of what was going on inside. The reception-room was still brilliantly lighted, and people came and went, casting their shadows upon the white curtains.
In the evening they sat in front of their new shanty, the clearance before them filled with crops that half-hid the stumps and promised abundance. 'Praise God, exclaimed the old shepherd as he reverently raised his bonnet, 'we are at last independent and need call no man master. For his age he was strong and active and his assistance made Archie independent of outside help.
"There was something about the place, Julia," he gravely pursued, "made me feel justified in thinking a hospitable welcome was due me ... Oh I don't mean because you were here! But well the veil of sea-turn that half-hid the buildings across the square made me feel the need of some kind of greeting I expected one! right on the spot! Can you understand?
She lay deep-slumbering in the light of the fire, her face half-hid 'neath a tress of shining hair; and I viewing her, chin in fist, saw in her only the last of her hated race and knew in that moment that never might there be aught of true love, that pure passion, high and ennobling, the which may lift man above his baser self never might this be 'twixt her blood and mine.
"By heaven, you shan't go," he cried, and clapped his hand to his sword. "Who says that Mr Dale shall not go?" A man stood in the doorway, plainly attired, wearing boots, and a cloak that half-hid his face. Yet I knew him, and Carford knew him. Carford shrank back, I bowed, and we both bared our heads. M. de Perrencourt advanced into the room, fixing his eyes on Carford.
Wielert pointed at a woman sitting just outside the inclosure, with her face half-hid by her hand. A sigh of relief swelled from the crowd. Paul Brauner sobbed. "Why, she's our witness!" exclaimed Hanlon, forgetting himself. The magistrate rapped sharply, and, looking toward the woman, said, "Stand up, Madam. Officer, assist her!" The court officer lifted her to her feet.
