And then, vibrating on the night, and echoing through the trees, came that dreadful cry again; weird, long-drawn-out, a howl a fiendish laugh, ending in a choking giggle and then a shrill whine. "Oh oh!" gasped Ruth, and she and Alice clung together, leaning on Mrs. Maguire. "It's like the wail of a lost soul," whispered Alice. "Sure, and it must be an Irish banshee!" murmured Mrs. Maguire.
But they were sturdy fellows, too, and even broken down as they were, with their strength sapped and their courage almost quelled by long months of protracted agony and privation, they quickly recovered spirit when once they found themselves outside the gloomy precincts of the Inquisition building; and though, despite the utmost precaution and the most tender care in getting them out of the boat and up the ship's lofty side, the pain they suffered in the process must have been excruciating, they made light of it, declaring, with a laugh that moved those who heard it to tears so hollow and pathetic was it that such pain was less than nothing compared with the awful long-drawn-out torments to which they had almost grown accustomed!
So I waited with all the patience I could command, and sleep and Nature nursed me between them till I was quite well. Then came long-drawn-out procedure in the Mexican courts. I had documents to write and sign, affidavits to make out, interrogations to answer; but finally the Law was satisfied. I was acquitted. I heard the decision with a curious feeling.
When in the late summer of 1339 the curtain was rung down on the long-drawn-out diplomatic comedy, Edward had not yet finally assumed that title of King of France, which made an inevitable strife irreconcilable, and so prolonged hostilities that the struggle became the Hundred Years' War. In the late summer of 1339 Edward III. was at last able to take the offensive against France.
There was a world of meaning, as I afterward discovered, in Miss Kinzer's long-drawn-out "Oh-h!" In this instance she looked up quickly, with an obvious display of interest, as if she had just unearthed a remarkable specimen in one who had never worked at anything before.
All this slow decay is accounted for, 'because the man is going to his long home, and already the poet sees the mourners gathering for the funeral procession. The connection of the long-drawn-out picture of senile decay with the advice to remember the Creator needs no elucidation. That period of failing powers is no time to begin remembering God.
Starting early, perhaps in the company of a peasant who is returning to his farm among the olives, you climb, in the genial heat, among the lower slopes between the great hills and the sea, along terraces of olives, through a whole long day of sunshine, with the song of the cicale ever in your ears, the mysterious long-drawn-out melody of the rispetti of the peasant girls reaching you ever.
Carmel and in the Plain of Akká, the embellishment of the sacred precincts of the two holiest Shrines of the Bahá’í world; the formation of the Israel Branches of four national spiritual assemblies, the preparation and completion of the designs of the first Mashriqu’l-Adhkárs to be erected in the Asiatic, the African and Australian continents, and the setting in motion, through the instrumentality of various departments of the Israeli government, of a long-drawn-out process, culminating in the expropriation by the state of the entire property, owned and controlled by the remnants of the breakers of Bahá’u’lláh’s Covenant, immediately surrounding His resting-place and the Mansion of Bahjí, the evacuation of this property by this ignoble band, and the final and definite purification, after the lapse of no less than six decades, of the Outer Sanctuary of the Most Holy Shrine of the Bahá’í world, of the defilement, which had caused so much sorrow and anxiety to the heart of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá—these are among the enduring achievements which four brief years of unremitting devotion to the interests of the Ten-Year Plan have brought about, and which will eternally redound to the glory of the champion-builders of Bahá’u’lláh’s embryonic World Order, holding aloft so valiantly the banner of His Faith in the great republic of the West.
These are all smelted into one designation, 'the people which sat in darkness, and thus the whole of verse 15 and the first clause of verse 16 make the nominative of the verb 'saw. There is something very impressive in that long-drawn-out accumulation of geographical names, and in their being all massed in the one sad description of their inert darkness, and then equally massed as seeing the great light that springs up.
Then, in a long-drawn-out descending wail, like the howl of a calling coyote, the hurricane died down to absolute stillness. "Whew!" exclaimed Stuart, in relief. "I'm glad that's over." "Over!" the scientist exclaimed. "The worst is to come! We're in the eye of the hurricane. Look!"
