Knife in hand, Paul Lanier is bending over the sleeping Bessie. Charles raises his loaded pistol, taking aim. The finger pressing lightly responsive trigger seems paralyzed. Raptly gazing at the child's innocent face, Paul softly croons some cradle melody.
In time we came to the campo of S. Pantaleone, where, outside a café, a little group was always seated, over its wine and beer, listening raptly to the music of what? A gramophone. This means that while the motor is ousting the gondolier, the Venetian minstrel is also under death sentence.
He was gazing at the trapdoor which was slowly rising; inch by inch ... inch by inch ... Fascinatedly, raptly, we all gazed. A head appeared in the opening and some vague, reflected light revealed two long, narrow, slightly oblique eyes watching us. They were brilliantly green. "By God!" came in a mighty roar from Weymouth. "It's Dr. Fu-Manchu!" As one man we leapt for the trap.
So raptly did they listen and so earnestly did I try to omit horrible details, and yet tell the truth, that I did not hear Mrs. Schuyler enter the room. But she did come in, and heard also, the story as I told it. "Can it not be," I heard a soft voice behind me say, "can it not yet be there is some mistake? Who says that man is my husband?"

"Yes oh, yes!" cried Mrs. Thornton raptly. "Yes," admitted Mr. Thornton thoughtfully; "that might be done."
The two women walked together to the gate, when Miss Nippett hobbled off to the left. As Mavis turned to the right, she glanced at Mr Poulter, who was still standing on the steps; he was gazing raptly at "Turpsichor."
