These men had no doubt caught a hook in the anchor port and had climbed up without opposition. The invaders stood clearly limned by the searchlight, trying to pick out a target for their fire, when Madden reached for the coal pile.
Limned against the darkness she could see once more the sun-warmed beach at Culver Point, the blue, sparkling sea with the white gulls wheeling above it, and Max Max standing tall and straight beside her, with a shaft of sunlight flickering across his hair, and love illimitable in his eyes. "You don't know what love means!"
"Yes," Jack murmured thoughtfully, as if inviting Prather to go on with anything further he might have to say. "All mine mine!" Prather concluded, in a sort of hypnosis with his own picture. Jack still stared at the earth, his profile limned in gold and the side of his face toward Prather in shadow.
His hair floated over the forehead in large locks; his black eyes pierced like arrows blunted by benevolence; they entered yours confidently as if they were friends; his cheeks were full, rosy, and strongly coloured; the nose was well modelled, yet a trifle long; his lips, gracefully limned, ample and raised at the corners; his teeth, unequal, broken, and blackened by cigar-smoke; his head often inclining towards the neck, then proudly raised during speech.

What dear, loved faces were limned upon that sordid clay!
His voice roared from the bridge: "To the boats every man to his station!" The command was taken up and carried along, and noiseless shapes limned briefly in the fire glow, scuttled quickly to their appointed places. Mr. Howland and his party stumbled out of the saloon with blanched faces and parted lips, but quietly. "Women to the rail!"
I told her I could try; and her habit would well become a picture. So she was agog to be limned, and give it her lad. And I set her to stand in a good light, and soon made sketches two, whereof I send thee one, coloured at odd hours. The other I did most hastily, and with little conscience daub, for which may Heaven forgive me; but time was short.
"A kiss, My Fool," she whispered. He turned from her. "No," he cried. She smiled. "I said, 'A kiss, My Fool!" she repeated. "I heard." Her eyes were on him.... Slowly he turned.... The set jaw relaxed; the straight limned lips weakened.... He looked at her. Her lips now were almost upon his own; her eyes were very close to his.
