"Let me go to Mr. Harrington! He wants me, I know." "Are you faint?" asked Grace, as she saw the sudden paling of Arthur's lips. "Slightly," he answered, taking her offered salts, and keeping his eyes fixed upon the carriage until it passed slowly by, "I'm better now," he said, returning the salts, and asking why Edith could not go to Collingwood.
In order to effect this, another journey to the drift-wood was necessary, and another search. This time he selected carefully a number of sticks, not more than half an inch in thickness, some of them being much thinner. He found pieces of paling, and laths, and shingles which suited his ideas.
They were delighted to have flowers, but when they recognised their mistake, they tore off three fourths of them to strengthen the remainder. Incessantly they kept talking about "sap" and "cambium," "paling up," "breaking down," and "blinding of an eye."
Her imagination, heightened as by a drug, enabled her to see the white, dusty road and the sickly, yellow moon rising through the branches. Again she was standing by him, her arms were on his neck; again they stood looking into the vague distance, seeing the broken paling in the moonlight.
Lorry's blood-stained body came into view. His face, beautiful and, in its pale calm, stronger than life, was open to the paling sky.

Brown fields came up at him through the paling darkness. A sign-board showed that he was a few miles from Mineola.

''Tisn't me, ma'am, said he; 'but I can't break orders, and no one goes out without the master allows. And without awaiting further parley, he entered, shutting his hatch behind him.
