Blanche's name had barely passed her husband's lips before Blanche herself verified Sir Patrick's prediction, by reappearing at the open French window, with the superseded white hat in her hand. "Haven't you done yet!" she exclaimed. "I am shocked, uncle, to interrupt you again but these horrid hats of Arnold's are beginning to weigh upon my mind.
On the banks of the Rhône travellers were charitably warned not to put up at certain solitary inns for fear of not reappearing therefrom.
"I'm off, little girl. Good-by!" "Wait a second, Ezra!" She rose and went into the next room, reappearing with something in her hand. She was crying and smiling both at once. I took the little case she gave me it was like one of those things that pen-knives are put in and looked at her for an explanation.
It is needless to say that this kind of imagination is a permanent and definite form with the dreamers living in a world of ceaselessly reappearing images, having no power to organize them, to change them into a work of art, a theory, or a useful invention. The "sketched" form is or remains an elementary, primitive, automatic form.
Some of the figures are grotesque merely, and all the male ones at least, a little fantastic. Certain objects reappearing from scene to scene love-letters crammed with verses to the margin, and lovers' toys hint obscurely at some story of intrigue.
Bickersteth understood a little of the Chinook language, which is familiar to most Indian tribes, and he had learned that the Indians knew nothing exact concerning the old man; but rumors had passed from tribe to tribe that this white man had lived forever in the farthest North among the arctic tribes, and that he passed from people to people, disappearing into the untenanted wilderness, but reappearing again among stranger tribes, never resting, and as one always seeking what he could not find.
The dwarf drove the dogs down a lonely side lane to the village, and came to the shed where lay the uncomely thing he had called brother. He felt for a spot where there was a loose board, forced it and another with his strong fingers, and crawled in. Reappearing with the dead body, he bore it in his huge arms to the stoneboat: a midget carrying a giant.
They had meanwhile been tracing together, in the golden air that, toward six o'clock of a July afternoon, hung about the massed Kentish woods, several features of the social evolution of her old playmates, still beckoned on, it would seem, by unattainable ideals, still falling back, beyond the sea, to their native seats, for renewals of the moral, financial, conversational one scarce knew what to call it outfit, and again and for ever reappearing like a tribe of Wandering Jewesses.
In the shadow of the lowered carriage-hoods, women's faces gleamed clear and radiant and I felt a thrill of pleasure as I watched them flash by like hopes vanishing and reappearing in endless succession. Every woman as she passed by left me with an impression of light and perfume. I think a man, if he is wise, will not ask much more than that of a beautiful woman. A gleam and a perfume!
Under so many savage blows, the labouring mountains brought forth Turks. Here and there advancing lines; dots moving over green patches; dots following one another across a broad red scar on the flank of Sari Bair: others following and yet others and others and others, closing in, disappearing, reappearing in close waves converging on the central and highest part of our position.
