In the dreary opaqueness of her mind flickered one tiny, bright light as through a blanket; that she herself had been in danger. She had been under fire. She had not merely sent men to death; she had been in death's company. Now her lashes were closed; again they opened slightly as her gaze roved the semicircle of the horizon.
After an hour's run inland, as the car rose over a ridge and descended on a sharp grade, in the distance under the moonlight we saw the floor of the sea again, melting into opaqueness, with curving fringes of foam along the irregular shore cut by the indentations of the firths. Now the sentries were more frequent and more particular.
It was the first he had ever seen of it, and he was pleased, although, owing to an opaqueness of mind due to his condition, it told him nothing save that his old-time friend was back again. "If you tell her," continued the girl, "she will be angry with me, and I have had so much trouble of late I can't bear any more." At last she was on the straight road bowling along like a mail coach.
She was safe, and together they came out of the opaqueness into water as translucent as sapphires, and rose to the surface. "Where were you?" she inquired. "I was looking for you under the sail," he panted. Adrienne laughed. "I'm quite all right," she assured him. "I came up under the boat at first, but I got out easily enough, and went back to look for you."
They obliterated, under their dispiriting gray, the valleys and lower forest-reaches, and his face, which was young and resolutely featured, held a kindred mood of shadowing depression. Beneath that miasma cloak of morning fog twisted a river from which the sun would strike darts of laughing light when the sun had routed the opaqueness suspended between night and day.
Prominent among them is the vacillating, and by Europeans considered to be INHUMAN, policy of Mr. Lincoln in regard to slavery, the opaqueness of our strategy, and the brilliancy of the tactics of the rebel generals, and, finally, the incapacity of our agents to enlighten European public opinion, and to explain the true and horrible character of the rebellion. Repeatedly I warned Mr.
Now, cold, sordid, callous, it lay incased in winter ice and neither could the sunlight go in nor its reflection go out. It slept on in coarse opaqueness, covered with an impenetrable crust which he himself did not understand. "But," said the old Bishop more than once, "God can touch him and he will thaw like a spring day. There is somethin' great in Richard Travis if he can only be touched."
She knew that love was a reality for other women, but she had never succeeded in finding it. Renovales had stopped painting. The sunlight no longer came in through the wide window. The panes took on a violet opaqueness.
Lloyd blunders up against the shadow with his perfect opaqueness. But I escape it. A transparent body casts no shadow; neither does it reflect light-waves that is, the perfectly transparent does not. So, avoiding high lights, not only will such a body cast no shadow, but, since it reflects no light, it will also be invisible." We were standing by the window at another time.
The reflection of the cliffs in the never still current, of the pines on their summits, of the changing sky growing deeper and deeper, till its amber tint, erstwhile so crystalline, became of a dull tawny opaqueness, she marked absently for a while as she cogitated on his answer. "What makes 'em so contrairy, Ben?" she asked at last.
