Thus it was with Anastasia! Till this moment Selínova had spoken to her in a strange language, had only uttered sounds unintelligible to her; but the instant that she spoke the native word, it touched the heart-string, and all the chords of her being thrilled as if they were about to burst. Anastasia trembled, her hands wandered vaguely over her lace cushion, her face turned deadly pale.
As the foreman rises every ear is bent every eye strained every heart-string vibrates: his lips move, but he is not heard; he is desired by the judge to speak louder; the colour mounts to his before bloodless face; he appears to labour for a few seconds with a mighty effort, and, at last, pronounces the words, "Guilty, my Lord all guilty!"
The heart should keep its thousand doors all open, each heart-string a latch-string, and each latch-string out. Marjorie Clark met her companion's eyes above the rim of his stein. "Looks more like hell on a busy day down here than like Christmas Eve, don't it?" He was warmed, and the tight skin had softened as dried fruit expands in water. "Ah-h-h, but I feel better, kiddo."
With these scenes, as time was soon to prove, there was to be most intimately connected this very man who, now bending forward attentively, now listening respectfully, and ever gazing directly and ardently, heard naught of plots or plans, cared naught for the Paris which lay about, saw naught but the beautiful face before him, felt naught but some deep, compelling thrill in every heart-string which now reaching sweet accord in spite of fate, in spite of the past, in spite of all, went singing on in a deep melody of joy.
There is no middle course "he that believeth" "he that believeth not." He leaves us to choose, and the responsibility rests upon ourselves. It may cost you many a sacrifice, and wrench many a heart-string to choose aright, but I plead with you to take the decisive step now. The salvation of your soul outweighs all other considerations.
I cannot think of it without tearing out a heart-string and suffering such pains as mortal man has never endured. I lived in Graustark's days of wealth, power and supremacy; God has condemned me to live in the days of her dependency, weakness and poverty. Let us talk no more of this unpleasant subject." His hearers pitied the frank, proud old man from the bottoms of their hearts.
Now falling headlong from his mountain bed Down sulph'rous space, o'er dismal lakes; Now held by hand of air on wings of lead He tries to rise gasping the hands' hold breaks, And downward he reels through shadows of the dead, Who cannot die though stalking in hell's flakes, Falling, he catches his heart-string on some hook, and wakes. Where did the Sportsman's Letters come from?
Unpinning Stefana's many pins, she lifted out one of the dresses. It creaked starchily under her hands; it opened out before Miss Theodosia's horrified vision. She uttered a groan. Where, now, was that tender little heart-string tune? Miss Theodosia saw pink. Near-anger surged up within her at this ruinous, this piteous result of Stefana's toil.
She could not speak plain, and her "bed and mik, mamma" "O, mamma, bed and mik," thrilled every heart-string of Mrs. , who had never before in her life witnessed the keen distress of a mother while her child asked in vain for bread.
