She was thinking about something; she did not stir an eyelash, nor hear me. Her face, her attitude, and her fixed, expressionless gaze, and her incredibly miserable, dreadful, and icy-cold memories, and around her the gondolas, the lights, the music, the song with its vigorous passionate cry of "Jam-mo! Jam-mo!" what contrasts in life!
"What you say, grandpapa, is too fearful. How can you doubt me?" She had knelt down. She was weeping; and her hot tears fell upon the old gentleman's hands. He started up as he felt them on his icy-cold hand; and, making one more effort, he said, "Poor, poor child! And suppose Jacques is guilty, and, when he sees you, confesses his crime, what then?" Dionysia shook her head.
The water is icy-cold, so that your teeth chatter and your frame quakes, until you make a bold dive; and in a moment you and the sea are good friends, and you are not certain whether you have surrendered to the ocean or the ocean has surrendered to you. At this point begin the raptures of bathing.
She pretended not to hear me open the door; but as I stood still at the threshold gazing at her, she lifted up her head, with a very pleasant smile. "I am very glad you are come, my dear Martin," she said, softly. I dared not dally another moment. I must take my plunge at once into the icy-cold waters. "I have something of importance to say to you, dear cousin," I began.
A strange, fever-like heat coursed through her veins, yet left her hands icy-cold; she longed for, yet dreaded, the end of the journey that awful grappling with the certainty of coming death. Perhaps, after all, Percy, too, had given up all hope.
He was smiling sarcastically, and his pale eyes peered down at her with a look of intense malice. With mock gallantry, he stooped and raised her icy-cold hand to his lips, which sent a thrill of indescribable loathing through Marguerite's weary frame.
"When the boys reached the house, it seemed strangely quiet. They found the dishes cleared away, and the kitchen neatly swept. Alfred's mother was lying on the couch, and she seemed to be resting very comfortably. "'See, Mother, said Alfred, 'isn't this a nice string of trout? "But Mother did not answer. Alfred spoke to her again. Still no answer. He touched her hand then, and found it icy-cold.
She leaned down, without speaking, and their lips met in a long, passionate kiss. So little of vitality lingered in Royston's, that they remained still icy-cold under the pressure of these ripe, red roses. "I will come again, early," she whimpered. The last relics of a strength that had been superhuman passed into the lingering pressure of the hand that bade her tenderly farewell.
The young fellow had a feeling as though he must turn round and run away. He was still hesitating when the woman drew him forcibly towards her, and he felt her icy-cold fingers gripping his wrist. "Martin, Martin," she whispered softly in his ear, "he's dead, now you needn't go." Her voice was only just audible, for Mikolai and Rosa were kneeling at the bedside. But Martin had not noticed them.
There is in him no trace of either the cruel, icy-cold malignity of the fiend of Goethe, or the awful grandeur of Milton's Tempter. It cannot be said that Marlowe's Devil seduces Faustus. He is almost on the verge of repentance himself; of the two, he is decidedly the better Christian. The proposition of the compact comes from Faustus himself, and Mephistopheles only accepts it.
