In the sand about the aspen tree to which it had been anchored were coyote tracks. Ignorantly fearless, I set out to track down the miscreant. The trail led down toward a forest, where dense thickets of new-growth lodge-pole pines livened the stark, fire-killed trees.
The long-strung docks were massed and webbed with ship rigging; the water was livened with boats and canoes; the wooden warehouses back of the docks were overtopped by wooden houses in tiers, until high above them all the Capitol itself was the fitting climax.
She looked round as he came, and her face livened. "Well, Wilmet?" "You're an early bird, Mr. Derek." "Haven't been to bed." "Oh!" "Been up Malvern Beacon to see the sun rise." "You're tired, I expect!" "No." "Must be fine up there. You'd see a long ways from there; near to London I should think. Do you know London, Mr. Derek?" "No." "They say 'tis a funny place, too."
"The old man?" He reflected. "Well, he seemed to brighten up at first. You see, he was sort of pensioned off by mother and she kept him pretty well inside his income.... Well, he seemed to sort of brighten up liven up when he found out that I was smoking." "Did he? So did my old man, and he livened me up, too. But what did your old man do what did he say?"
It was drawn by two magnificent bay horses and driven by a superbly livened coachman. In the cabriolet alone sat a slight young girl wrapped in a lynx-fur pelisse, her face of a delicate loveliness. She was leaning forward, her lips parted, her eyes devouring Scaramouche until they drew his gaze. When that happened, the shock of it brought him abruptly to a dumfounded halt.
"Thanks," smiled Dale. "Don't mind my blushes. I simply love to blush." In truth, the game had livened Carson up and taken his thoughts from unpleasant things. The remainder of the afternoon was fully occupied, for Merry showed Berlin through the buildings and explained the methods of the school. At dinner Carson seemed much brighter and joined in the talk and laughter.
For good or evil, the great towns are here, and we can but mitigate. The indicated policy of mitigation is fivefold: Such solid economic basis to the growth of our food as will give us again national security, more arable land than we have ever had, and on it a full complement of well-paid workers, with better cottages, and a livened village life.
Foster, who as a rule was indifferent to women's society, livened the party by matching wits with Margaret Keith; and Lieutenant Walters found Mrs. Keith's pretty companion very interesting. At Sandymere, three miles away, Colonel Challoner sat in his library with his guest. It was a large and simply furnished room, but there was a tone of austere harmony in all its appointments.
If the attempt was a sorry failure, he, for one, did not appreciate the completeness of the failure. He meant, anyhow, that his step no longer should be purposeless and mechanical; that his walk should hereafter have intent in it. And as he came down the porch steps he looked about him, but dully, with sick and uninforming eyes, but with a livened interest in all familiar homely things.
It became the face of the moonlit sphinx, staring straight at him, the broad dark face with wide nostrils, cruel lips, full eyes blank of pupils, all livened and whitened by the moonlight an embodiment of the marvellous unseeing energy of Life, twisting and turning hearts without mercy. He gazed into those eyes with a sort of scared defiance.
