And she read the letter to Maurice. 'Ask him to come down, he said. 'Ask Bertie to come here! she re-echoed. 'Yes if he wants to.
It sufficiently indicates, however, the aim of Napoleon's studies. One and all they were designed to equip him for the great task of re-awakening the spirit of the Corsicans and of sapping the base of the French monarchy. But these reams of manuscript notes and crude literary efforts have an even wider source of interest. They show how narrow was his outlook on life.
As the Cyprian gazed on the image in which he had embodied a youth of dreams, what time the living hues flushed slowly beneath the marble, so gazed the young and passionate Adrian upon the form reclined before him, re-awakening gradually to life.
With these signs of the re-awakening of Nature there came to me the strange "Call of the Road". Heretofore it had never come as strongly as it came at this time, when after a long and monotonous winter's toil the rattling trains as they shot over our section, the darting birds as they foraged their subsistence, and even the thumping of the wheels under our hand car seamed to beckon me to follow their example and move away.

"Amaryllis," he said, and his voice vibrated, "to-day I am going to show you everything I love here at Ardayre because I want you to love it all, too. You are of the family, so it must mean something to you, dear." Amaryllis kindled with re-awakening hope. "Indeed, it will mean everything to me, John."
At first the re-awakening of the plague had been concealed; but the number of deaths encreasing, the secret was divulged, and the destruction already achieved, was exaggerated by the fears of the survivors.
No no and we've been hunting house and garden for hours " "And the forest?" questioned Uncle Jack, the trapper instinct of former days suddenly re-awakening. "The forest is waist-deep with snow! Besides we beat through the bush everywhere, and there wasn't a track, nor broken twig, where they could have passed." His torn clothes bore evidence to the thoroughness of that search.
To his wandering sense at that moment there came a sweet vision of beauty and love of an affection warmly cherished green as the summer leaves fresh as its flowers flinging odors about his spirit, and re-awakening in its fullest extent the partially slumbering passion reviving many a hope, and provoking with many a delicious anticipation.
