The twigs tapped at the pane like human fingers. "There, there!" soothed Cyclona, and she changed the baby's position, so that his little body curled warmly about her and his face was upturned to hers to coax him into the belief that she was Celia. Once more she drifted into the lullaby, crooning it very softly in her lilting young voice: "Sleep, baby, sleep.
Maybe they know that too if they don't we'll let 'em think we're coming along, as innocent as Mary's little lamb, so I'll let their ray stay on us. It's too thin to carry anything, and if they thicken it up much I've got an axe set to chop it off." Seaton whistled a merry lilting refrain as his fingers played over the stops and keys. "Why, Dick, you seem actually pleased about it."
The Border ballads, that go lilting along to the galloping of horses and jingling of spurs, are the interpretation of another side. The same active influence accompanies the Jacobite songs "Up wi' the bonnets for bonnie Dundee!" filled many a legion for Prince Charles and the blood kindles yet to their fife-like and drum-like movements.
Anon came Kurban Sahib, lilting a little in his step, which sign I knew, and he said, "We are born in a fortunate hour. We go to Eshtellenbosch to oversee the despatch of horses." Remember, Kurban Sahib was squadron- leader of the Gurgaon Rissala, and I was Umr Singh.
It was only by degrees that out of this absolute essence of sheer sound distinctions of rhythm and pitch began to appear, and to assume definite musical form.

The great sphere quivered and undulated. Swifter than the eye could follow it dilated; opened! Where the azure globe had been, flashed out a disk of flaming splendors, the very secret soul of flowered flame!
It was an engaging voice a voice with soft, lilting notes in it the voice of a child. Courteney's face cleared a little. The grimness went out of his frown, the reluctance from his attitude. He stood up against the rocky barrier and stretched his hands over to the unseen owner of the voice. "I'll help you," he said. "Oh!"
It was the famous ballad of the regulators that he heard, and it smote his heart with a consciousness of his personal danger that made him shiver in his shoes. The uncouth doggrel, recited in a lilting sort of measure, the peculiar and various pleasures of a canter upon a pine rail. It was clear that the mob were by no means satisfied with the small measure of sport which they had enjoyed.
"'Tis almost as if he'd slipped over the border," Patsy whispered. "Maybe he's there in the gray dusk a wee shadow soul waiting for death to loosen its wings and send it lilting into the blue of the Far Country." "How did you happen to know him?" "Chance, just.
