'Singing and murmuring in your feastful mirth, Joying to feel yourself alive; Lord over nature, Lord of the visible Earth, Lord of the senses five." My quotation was hardly out of my lips before we had rounded the corner above the Convent; and a few yards further on could see across to Sanjowlie.
"Trix wakes with your name on her lips, I believe, and goes to sleep murmuring it at night. Lady Catheron doesn't know how madly jealous I have been of her before now." Edith turns once more to Trix faithful, friendly, loyal Trix and stretches forth both hands, with a swift, graceful impulse, tears standing, large and bright, in her eyes.

Rugged mountains formed the background of the valley to the east, down from which came murmuring the fleet but shallow Teivi.

Angelo told him that he had now an opportunity of earning the approval of Barto Rizzo, and then said, 'On, and they went in the track of the two whitecoats; the innkeeper murmuring all the while that he wanted the approval of Barto Rizzo as little as his enmity; he wanted neither frost nor fire.

Creeping cautiously along, they peered over a low cliff, and saw a large number of Indians, of all ages and sexes, engaged upon the beach in the wildest scene of barbarian festivities.
The word "mother" was frequently upon his lips, and once he burst into a passion of hysterical tears, murmuring, child-like, that "he was very sorry; and that, if she would forgive him, he would be a good boy for the future, and would never do it again." This state of things gravely alarmed George, who began to fear that the last great solemn change was at hand.
