It came to me now, for the first time, that, though the noise of the wind had passed, yet a constant 'blurred' sound was in my ears. Now that I noticed it, I was aware that it had been with me all the time. It was the world-noise. And then, even as I grasped at so much comprehension, there came the Eastward light. No more than a few heartbeats, and the sun rose, swiftly.
Tell him it's very important!" "Yes, miss, certainly!" Without betraying the least amazement at her husky voice and trembling hands, the butler mounted the stairs steadily to do her bidding. She remained where she was, clutching the back of one of the tall Stuart chairs, listening to the man's measured tread and her own hammering heartbeats. Oh, why wouldn't he hurry?
One is almost ashamed of his little paltry heartbeats in the presence of the rushing and roaring torrent of Niagara. So if he has published a little book or two, collected a few fossils, or coins, or vases, he is crushed by the vastness of the treasures in the library and the collections of this universe of knowledge. I have shown how not to see the British museum; I will tell how to see it.
It was a relief to be allowed to watch through the dark hours beside soldiers whose wounds were not serious enough to need expert care that I could not give. Even if I had been in bed I should not have slept. I felt as if my brain were part of the battlefield where armies marched and fought. My heartbeats were the drums. We grew used to the firing of cannon. It seemed a part of everyday life.
"If anybody's got a lease on you, Mrs. Kaufman, I I want it! I want it! That's the kind of a lease would suit me. To be leased to you for always, the rest of your life!" She could not follow him down the vista of fancy, but stood interrogating him with her heartbeats at her throat. "Mr. Vetsburg, if he puts on the doors and hinges and new plumbing in ." "I'm a plain man, Mrs.
"It is a great mistake, Dugald Shaw, that you should come to me and court me for some one else." There was silence for a while, the kind of silence when you hear your heartbeats. When he spoke his voice was unsteady. "But the boy has everything to offer you his ancient name, his splendid unstained youth, a heart that is all loyalty. He is strong and brave and beautiful.
And Alma, answering her somewhere down in her heartbeats: "No, mamma. No, mamma! No! No! No!" But all the little pores gaping. Mouths! The pinching up of the skin. Here, this little clean and white area. "No, mamma! No, mamma! No! No! No!" "Just once, darling?" Oh oh little graves for Alma and Louis. No! No! No!
At first our certainty that we hear the hoofs is complete; gradually, if we listen intently, there comes a moment when we think perhaps it was imagination or the blind upstairs or our own heartbeats; at last we become doubtful whether there was any noise at all; then we think we no longer hear anything, and at last we know we no longer hear anything.
"Now you've guessed, haven't you?" I asked, when for a few seconds, which I counted with heartbeats, he had sat tensely silent. "Maybe I have. But see here, Peggy, you aren't holding that against me, are you? It wouldn't be fair. I'd trust you with anything of my own; but when it comes to other people's business official business "
In primitive times, and even, though decreasingly, in modern times, the cause of war has lain not merely in the ends to be attained thereby, but in the sheer love of war for its own sake-the quickened heartbeats, the sense of power and daring and achievement, the joy in martial music and uniforms, in the rhythmic footsteps of marching men, in the awakened thrill of patriotism, the love of effort and sacrifice for a cherished cause.
