"Heaven be praised!" murmured Louis, resisting the woman's efforts and bending over the girl. "See, her hands are relaxing and her eyes opening Mariette! it is I, Louis! do you hear me?" The girl's eyes roamed around the room for a moment, then slowly turned on the young man, who still leaned anxiously over her.
Trembling and holding her breath she watched him, fearing that he had been roused by her movement; but he did not stir, and she concluded that he wished her to think he was asleep. As she continued to watch him ineffable relief stole slowly over her, relaxing her strained nerves and exhausted body.
"Here I am, mamma: sorry to see you look so ill." "Thank you, my dear," said Lady Bassett, without relaxing for a moment that searching gaze. She said, still covering him with her eye, "Would you cure me if you could?" To appreciate this opening, and Lady Bassett's sweet engaging manner, you must understand that this young man was, in her eyes, a sort of black snake.
It scratched for a moment or two, and then fell from his relaxing fingers, while the man who took the paper wrote across the foot of it, and then would have handed it to Colonel Barrington, but that Dane quietly laid his hand upon it.

"What's this, Raymond?" said Father Roche, gently laying his hand upon his huge arm, the muscles of which, now strung into almost superhuman strength, felt as hard as oak. "Stop, Raymond," he proceeded, "would you like that work yourself, my good boy?" "Father Roche!" said Raymond, relaxing his hold more from surprise than anything else.
He stood facing her, not relaxing his expression, which worked out as a sort of mild grimness, tempered by a tune which his thumbs in the armpits of his waistcoat enabled him to play on its top-pockets. It was a slow tune. Gwen continued: "But her mind is not giving way." The doctor let that expression subside into mere seriousness.
The knife slipped from her relaxing hand and clanged on the floor. The dying woman collapsed with a dull thud. The sleeping girl turned over lazily. "Be quiet, Otto!" she murmured. Suddenly she gave a shriek of horror, rushed into the bedroom, and shook the man, who could hardly be aroused from his sleep. He followed her, still half dazed. Julie Heppner lay dead, bathed in her own blood.
