I moved forward to confront the silence and solitude and the mild terrors that lowered before me in the growing dusk. The tide of darkness rose by imperceptible degrees and drowned the landscape. The infinite of starry eyes winked in the sky, while in the gloom below the fireflies spangled the bushes with their trembling love-lights.
But I have good brains, and few men are able to work as hard as I. By and bye, I shall succeed and make money, and it will be less dull for you." "It is never dull for me when I can be with you," she answered. As he looked, the sunshine caught her red auburn hair, and the love-lights played with the sunshine in her eyes.
The mere mention of Madam's name stirred up a whirlwind that snuffed out any love-lights that might have been kindling. She stood with her back to the table, twisting Harold Phipps's card in her fingers, and she looked at Quin suspiciously. "Did grandmother send you up here to see if I was keeping my word?" "She did not. She doesn't know I am here." "Then it's just you who don't trust me?"
He saw her questioning glances fall upon him, and the red blood waver on her cheek; he saw the love-lights gather in her eyes; and then he saw no more, for she was in his arms, murmuring sweet broken words. Happy are those who thus shall find their Angela, whether it be here or on the further shore of yonder solemn sea! And Mildred?
They were eyes that masked the soul with a thousand guises, and that sometimes opened, at rare moments, and allowed it to rush up as though it were about to fare forth nakedly into the world on some wonderful adventure, eyes that could brood with the hopeless sombreness of leaden skies; that could snap and crackle points of fire like those which sparkle from a whirling sword; that could grow chill as an arctic landscape, and yet again, that could warm and soften and be all a-dance with love-lights, intense and masculine, luring and compelling, which at the same time fascinate and dominate women till they surrender in a gladness of joy and of relief and sacrifice.
