Our idea was to carry out and make perpetual the affinity of the red gleams as insets in a grey pebble walk. We worked raptly, even through the hard, dull labour of levelling, setting the frames and laying the concrete foundation. The finishing was the absorbing part.

The imperious mandate was obeyed, and Andy raptly witnessed some bareback riding that made his heart quicken and his eyes flash with pleasure and admiration. Miss Stella Starr had two acts.

I produced the crumpled missive with a sigh: for the skipper's drift was apparent. "My letter!" said he, gazing raptly.

Don't tell me that Tonycana and all this belong to the same system in space. Don't tell me " He stopped abruptly and his eyes sought those of St. George.
But to lose Cicely would be bitter she had not felt how bitter till the child pressed against her in the firelight, insisting raptly, with little sharp elbows stabbing her knee: "And then what happened, Justine?" The door opened, and some one came in to look at the fire.
The faintest of flushes crept into her wax-like cheeks. "If it should be a sign!" she murmured raptly, and then she turned again to Fra Gervasio.
