Without paying any attention to Lambernier, who was uttering imprecations at the bottom of the ditch, into which he was sinking deeper and deeper, the stranger went to seek a less illusive shelter than the trees under which he had taken his position; but at this moment his attention was attracted to one side of the castle.
Some of that old sanity of the once healthy man was making a last effort for supremacy, breaking in upon illusive hopes and irresponsible deceptions. It was only for a moment. Presently, from the top of the hill, they looked down upon the long line of little homes lying along the banks of the river like peaceful watchmen in a pleasant land, with corn and wine and oil at hand.
Dicky never failed to show illusive interest, and both knew that they were not deceiving the other, and both came nearer to the issue by devious processes, as though these processes were inevitable. At last Dicky suddenly changed his manner and came straight to the naked crisis. "Highness, I have an invitation for Kingsley Bey to dine at the British Consulate to-night. You can spare his presence?"
But the man who sat with his back against the ledge, his ears strained to find the slightest hostile sound, his roaming eyes always coming back with unconscious alertness and frowning investigation to the nearer objects in the broken foreground, had tasted beneath the illusive crust of that land, and the savor was bitter upon his lips.
But so delicate and illusive is it that when used for a purely selfish purpose, it evaporates into thin air, and the erstwhile possessor is left with only the mask of beauty and the husk of a personality. George Peabody had Charm of Manner from his nineteenth year to the day of his death.
At the time I had a kind of fear of her interest in the girl, but I know now that it was quite sincere, though it began with a motive not very lofty to make Belle Treherne her friend, and so annoy me, and also to study, as would an anatomist, the girl's life. We all moved into the illusive shade of the fig and magnolia trees, and lunch was soon spread.
There was relief, to picture the face of the laughing cherub in the clouds, or to listen to its light footstep in the empty halls of the dwelling; for in these illusive images of the brain, suffering was confined to her own bosom.
"Your happiness behold! then straight a wand He waved, an anti-magic power that hath Truth from illusive falsehood to command." Ibid. "But what for us, the children of despair, Brought to the brink of hell what hope remains? RESOLVE, RESOLVE!" Ibid. It may be observed that there are certain years in which in a civilised country some particular crime comes into vogue.
The child has an apprehension not only of things far off, but of things far apart; an illusive apprehension when he is learning "ancient" history a real apprehension when he is conning his own immeasurable infancy. If there is no historical Antiquity worth speaking of, this is the renewed and unnumbered Antiquity for all mankind.
Sophie, apparently midway in appearance between Kingsfrere and Mariana, was gracefully proportioned, and gave an impression of illusive beauty by means of a mystery of veils, such as were caught up on her hat now. They were discussing, he discovered, the family. "It's an outrage, Howat," Charlotte told him, "you never married, and that the name will go.
