As to the miracles, they ceased when, in the ordeal by fire, Barthelemi, the author of the Holy Lance, came through the flames mortally injured.

He had told her nothing new, but his duel with Sir Thorn; and, when she considered the matter, she thought that, also, quite natural.

I was close to General Mercer when we saw them, and had as usual a fit of the shakes, hang them! Luckily there was small leisure to think.

A distant, lonely point in the hills. He says he's mortally wounded. He has found the rustlers hiding. Of course he has. He's known all along. Nor do I believe he's wounded.

"A new 'hand' we've taken on to replace the boy who was shot up two days back."

Madame de Retz, who mortally hated her sister, disclosed it that very night to her father, who did not fail to impart it to mine.
Kendal was mortally angry, and his face grew dark. He strode up to her and grasped her shoulder, his fingers unwittingly clinching deeply into the soft flesh.
