But, methought, as the declining sun threw Zenobia's magnified shadow along the path, I beheld it tremulous; and the delicate stem of the flower which she wore in her hair was likewise responsive to her agitation. Priscilla through the medium of her eyes, at least could not possibly have been aware of the gesture above described. Yet, at that instant, I saw her droop.
O blessed Lady, protect us!" "Where?" asked Eustace, scarce able to defend himself from an impression of terror. "'Tis gone yet methought I saw it again. There! look yonder, Sir Knight something white fluttering behind that column!" Gaston crossed himself, and turned pale; but Eustace had settled his nerves. "A truce with these vain follies, Master Seneschal," said he, sternly.
Let me look at your face critically: your bill of fare is three slices of cold rare roast beef, a Welsh rabbit, a pot of stout, and a glass or two of sound tawny port, old in bottle the right milk of Englishmen." Methought there seemed a brightening in his eye and a melting about his mouth at this enumeration. "The night is young," I continued; "not much past eleven, for a wager.
And now was a mist all about me wherein dim forms moved mocking me, and ever and anon methought to behold my lady, but dim and very far removed from me, so that sometimes I ran and oft-times I fell to moaning and shedding weak and impotent tears. Truly a black and evil day for me this, whereof I have but a vague memory save only of pain, a hopeless weariness and intolerable thirst.
"Art hurt, Francis?" and Lord Shrope bent over the girl with solicitude. "My lord, methought just now that I was dying, but the weakness that overcame me hath departed," and the girl staggered to her feet with his assistance. "But thou art wounded? Girl, girl, what doth it mean?" Lord Shrope caught hold of the sleeve that dangled from her bared arm.

It was not more than a crossing of her, and he was talking all the time. "Ha! how now! Methought my Lady of Salisbury had bestowed her in the Abbey how call you it?"
My heart revolted from his hypocritical jargon: but it was unworthy of me to combat in words with the ruffian; and my answer was cool; while, far from being possessed with fear, methought, even at the worst, a man true to himself, courageous and determined, could fight his way, even from the boards of the scaffold, through the herd of these misguided maniacs.
As he drew towards the end, things somewhat mended with him; and when he was just upon the sunlight, and began to see its brightness through the haze, and to hear the voices of the heavenly ones, methought his heart would have burst, so did it beat with joy: and withal he smote upon his breast, and said, "And this for me! And this for the wanderer! O mercy, choicest mercy!
So home, and thence by water to Deptford, and there found our Trinity Brethren come from their election to church, where Dr. Britton made, methought, an indifferent sermon touching the decency that we ought to observe in God's house, the church, but yet to see how ridiculously some men will carry themselves.
When Francis recovered consciousness she found Edward Devereaux bending over her with the utmost concern. "You live," he cried joyfully as she opened her eyes. "Now Heaven be praised! Methought that I had killed thee, Master Stafford." "Methought that it was to be a tilt a l'outrance," said Francis trying to rise. "Oh," she moaned sinking back as dizziness again assailed her.
