Beatrix seemed to listen to the music, but she was really observing Calyste, who, much too young and artless for the part which Camille was intending him to play, remained in rapt adoration before his real idol. After about an hour, during which time Camille continued to play, Beatrix rose and retired to her apartments.
I have often speculated on the subject of these mysterious compositions; they were of a nature to have proceeded rather from some mystical quietist, such as Madame Guyon, if with this rapt devotion one can suppose the union of a rebellious and murmuring ambition.
Barrett suppressed a start. "I should like to show it to you," he said, "but I'm afraid I have destroyed it. It made me shudder every time I looked at it." "It's a pity," said the girl, dryly. "I should have liked to see it. I've got my own idea about the matter. Are you sure she was very fond of them?" "She lived only for them," said Mr. Barrett, in a rapt voice. "Exactly.
Possibly it was the rapt eulogiums of his friend Black who had spent the previous summer in Sark, and had ever since been seeking words strong enough in which to paint its charms that forced its name to the front when he stood facing the wide world, that lacked, for him at all events, a Margaret Brandt, and was therefore void and desolate.
In the very remotest part are seated idols, and from outside one can vaguely see their clasped hands and air of rapt mysticism; in front are the altars, loaded with marvellous vases in metalwork, whence spring graceful clusters of gold and silver lotus. From the very entrance one is greeted by the sweet odor of the incense-sticks unceasingly burned by the priests before the gods.

On the one side, with her mask in hand, stood the presiding divinity of comic poetry, coaxing the immortal hero of the sock and buskin with her archest smiles; while on the other stood Melpomene, rapt in solemn thought, and with eyes upraised in gloomy grandeur, pointing the actor to a loftier walk than that of her witching sister Thalia.
And she raised her dreamy blue eyes to the sheltering canopy of green leaves that overhung them leaves thick-clustered and dewy, through which the dazzling sky peeped in radiant patches. Philip looked at her, the rapt expression of her upward gaze, the calm, untroubled sweetness of her fair face, were such as might well have suited one of Raffaelle's divinest angels.
The luxurious tranquillity of the scene; the cool fragrance of flowers and perfumes in the atmosphere; the rapt attitude of Magdalen, absorbed over her reading; the monotonous regularity of movement in the maid's hand and arm, as she drew the comb smoothly through and through her mistress's hair all conveyed the same soothing impression of drowsy, delicious quiet.
