Was it not he that hanged Orso and the twelve! A curse upon the day he came to Venice." So they talked in whispers, but the priest had passed already into the great hall of the palace and was speaking to a lackey there. "My friend," he said, "I come in the name of the Signori. If you would not hear from them to-morrow, announce me to none." The lackey drew back, quailing before the threat.
The aspect of the ocean had been awe-inspiring enough before this forlorn and dying barque had drifted within our ken; but now that she was there to serve as a scale by which to measure the height of the surges, and to bring home to us a realising sense of their tremendous and irresistible power by showing how fearfully and savagely they flung and battered about the poor maimed fabric, it became absolutely terrifying, as was to be seen by the blanched faces and quailing, cowering figures of the crowd on the poop who, stood watching the craft in her death throes.

The shamrock rises wild and overwhelmed with terror, recreant to Ireland, and quailing before Michael, who has stumbled over Sheeley. Mr. Jinks retreats through the press before O'Brallaghan, who pursues him with horrible ferocity, breathing vengeance, and on fire with rage.

"Here is the money." I flung him the note-case which contained it. Is there a sort of moral magnetism in the tone of certain words and in certain expressions of countenance?
At the moment of departing, there was a quailing of the spirit on the part of some of the emigrants; but Winthrop comforted them; he told them that they must "keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace"; that, in the wilderness, they would see more of God than they could in England; and that their plantation should be of such a quality as that the founders of future plantations should pray that "The Lord make it likely that of New England."
