Goldthwaite in the State; nor another minister's sister either." Lucy smiled, her heart re-echoing her brother's words. "I have not felt so happy since mamma died," she said softly. "O Tom, is it not true what she used to say 'That God gives us something to be grateful for everywhere'?"
The maniac raised his pallid brow his eye flashed consciousness the blue veins in his forehead swelled almost to bursting he tossed his arms wildly and sunk powerless on the corpses around his convulsive shrieks re-echoing in that lonely vault.
Thronging memories of past years, past youth, past joy, past laughter echoing and re-echoing in one man's hungry heart. Light footsteps of children never to be born ... and then the heavy tread of men carrying a coffin, and the last sound of all the clanging of an iron door....
Other voices answered in the neighbourhood; from various parts of the basin the barking died away in a mournful, dismal wail mingled with shrieks, sobs, and fiendish laughter. It rose from the depths, filling the air, re-echoing from the hills, and changing its modulations, a horrible chorus of moans and groans alternating with exclamations of hellish triumph.
"Perhaps he will turn the tables upon me. He knows so much about the woods, wild animals and birds that I like to learn from him." Midnight strode along the road, glad of the run in the fresh air. The sleigh bells sent forth their sweet music, echoing and re-echoing from the neighbouring hills and forest.
From point to point at a few yards' interval a milliard blinding flashes of dull crimson flames leapt from out the gloom like one gigantic sunset, casting sinister glares in ceaseless succession upon the heavy mist.

Ha! ha! ha!" and he laughed so loudly, that the rocks above us caught the sound and hurled it against the opposite side of the cañon, where it seemed to be detained for a moment by some overhanging cliff, and then sent back, reverberating and re-echoing, now faint and indistinct, then clear and well-defined, to again die away in the distance, to once more approach nearer and nearer, louder and louder, until finally catching upon the sharp edge of some far-jutting crag, it shivered into a dozen, startlingly distinct peals of laughter, that seemed to my terrified senses like the shouts of demons, exulting at our temerity in venturing within their own well-chosen realms.
Had I leisure for the undertaking, I would go and teach it to the only mountain worthy of re-echoing it at the foot of Parnassus. "I am, sir, yours, etc., etc."
The Earl and his retinue took horse soon after to return to court, accompanied by the shouts of the inhabitants of Woodstock, who made the old oaks ring with re-echoing, "Long live Queen Elizabeth, and the noble Earl of Leicester!"
