"To-night when all are asleep, come to my cabin. I have something to say to you." The young man stared at him, roused by Blood's pregnant tone out of the mental lethargy into which he had of late been lapsing as a result of the dehumanizing life he lived. Then he nodded understanding and assent, and they moved apart.
And silence awful silence broods Profoundly o'er these solitudes; Nought but the lapsing of the floods Breaks the deep stillness of the woods; A sense of desolation reigns O'er these unpeopled forest plains. Where sounds of life ne'er wake a tone Of cheerful praise round Nature's throne, Man finds himself with God alone.
Were Verner's Pride to lapse to me to-morrow, I believe I should set about it the next day. But," Lionel added after a short pause, "there's no probability of its lapsing to me. Therefore I want you to set about it in my place." "I can't afford it," replied John Massingbird. "Nonsense! I wish I could afford things a quarter as well as you."
"And M. le Baron wants a passport?" he said, lapsing into the useful third person, which makes the French language so much more fitted to social and diplomatic purposes than is our rough northern tongue. "And more," answered De Chauxville. "I want what you hate parting with information." The man called Vassili leaned back in his chair with a little smile.
Harriet's admiration for the cleverness with which Isabelle conducted this pretty playing with fire disappeared, and in its place came the sharp conviction that old-fashioned women like Linda had some justification, after all; it was "dangerous," it did "lead to sin," it could indeed "happen once too often."

"Do you know what it is my heritage?" lapsing, as he often did when hurried by some pressing thought, into a colloquialism half French. She shook her head, but made no audible reply. "Do you suspect what it is?" he insisted. "I may have suspected, perhaps," she admitted, after a pause. "When? How long?" She paused again. Quick and clever as he was, she was no less so. She weighed the question.
"They be busy with their ancient-staff," reported Trevor presently, as he resumed the spy-glass. "There goes the bunting ha ay run boy, and tell the captain 't is the red cross of Merrie England; 't is the home colors, boy!" But already the eager eyes in the Town Square had recognized the flag, and Standish lapsing from the martinet into the exile waved Gideon above his head shouting,

"That is indeed a fearful threat, John," said Emily, "and meant, no doubt, to show that you have reached the last extremity of earnestness." "Which is a condition you will never reach," said John, laughing, and lapsing into the old intimate fashion with her.
The schoolhouse was nearly full of people when we came in. The big boys were wrestling in the yard; men were lounging on the rude seats, inside, idly discussing crops and cattle and lapsing into silence, frequently, that bore the signs both of expectancy and reflection. Young men and young women sat together on one side of the house whispering and giggling.
