Philip, leaning against a rock, gazed into the darkness where the apparition had been; even Harry felt a thrill of half-superstitious wonder, and listened half mechanically to a rough sailor's voice at his ear: "God! old Joe was right. There's one wreck that is bound to make many. The light-ship has parted." "Drifting ashore," said Harry, his accustomed clearness of head coming back at a flash.
And they also said that whosoever discovered the Hata flower in the forest would overcome all his enemies and obtain all his desires, and finally outlive other men by many years. But, as I have said, all this I heard afterwards, and my half-superstitious feeling for the flower had grown up independently in my own mind.
I have said I give him to you. And he came, Bueno," murmured Dona Rosita, with a half-resigned, half-superstitious gesture. "WILL you be quiet!" It was the sound of Demorest's feet on the gravel path, returning from his fruitless search. He had seen nothing. It must have been Dona Rosita's fancy. "She was just saying she thought she had been mistaken," said Joan, quietly.
On Sunday Bell and Sylvia went to church, with a strange, half-superstitious feeling, as if they could propitiate the Most High to order the events in their favour by paying Him the compliment of attending to duties in their time of sorrow which they had too often neglected in their prosperous days.
Added to his compassion for her, was the half-superstitious belief that he had been appointed by Providence to save her. "It's just around the corner now," he encouraged her. "Can you make it?" She stumbled on blindly, without answering, clinging to his arm and. breathing heavily. "Here we are!" said Dan, turning into a dark entrance, "front room on the left. Steady there!"
In fact, his whole action was designed rather to disconcert the Pawnee than to injure him. Not only had Deerfoot's confidence in his bow and arrow weakened, but the two escapes of the Pawnee gave him a half-superstitious belief that it was intended the latter should not be injured.
In another moment, in his already dazed condition, he might have succumbed to some sensuous memory of her former fascinations, but he threw it off savagely now, with a quick and bitter recalling of her deceit and his own weakness. Turning his back upon the scene with a half-superstitious tremor, he plunged once more into the trackless covert.
This was the hidden burial-place of the modern Hiawatha of these savage islands, unknown even to the natives themselves, and kept secret with a half-superstitious reverence by this girl, who had discovered it a few months before. "I had forgotten," she said. "Please take my hand and set me right at the entrance." "Your hand, mademoiselle? Mine is so ! It is not dark." "I am blind now."
It means that the vault doors have been opened since then." He saw the same half-superstitious fear appear in her face that had touched him. "You think he did it?" "I don't know." Maulbow's control of the guns had seemed uncanny enough. But that was a different matter. The guns were a product of his own time and science. But the vault door mechanisms?
Mark's happiness impelled him to put some silver into her hand, and he felt a half-superstitious satisfaction as he heard the blessing she called down on him as if she might have influence. No one was at home at Malakoff Terrace but Trixie, whom he found busily engaged in copying an immense plaster nose.
