Letters perused and reperused, coming from a man never fervently noticed in person, conjure features one would wish to put beside the actual, to make sure that the fiery lines he writes are not practising a beguilement. Aminta had lost grasp of the semblance of the impassioned man. She just remembered enough of his eyes to think there might be healing in a sight of him.
I saw the other day, with envy, an old and a very clever lady setting forth on a second or third voyage into Monte Cristo. Here are stories which powerfully affect the reader, which can be reperused at any age, and where the characters are no more than puppets.
Aramis then reperused the letter, and perceived a postscript: P.S. You may behave politely to the bearer, who is a count and a grandee of Spain! "Golden dreams!" cried Aramis. "Oh, beautiful life! Yes, we are young; yes, we shall yet have happy days! My love, my blood, my life! all, all, all, are thine, my adored mistress!"
Raoul picked it up, and continued to read aloud: "Make haste. His majesty is very anxious to speak to you, and expects you at the Louvre." "Expects me?" again repeated the musketeer. "He, he, he!" laughed Raoul. "Oh, oh!" replied D'Artagnan. "What the devil can this mean?" The first moment of surprise over, D'Artagnan reperused Athos's note.
She reperused the marginal notes, and they seemed the production of an animated, but not of a disturbed imagination. Confined to this speculation, every time she re-read them, some fresh refinement of sentiment, or acuteness of thought impressed her, which she was astonished at herself for not having before observed. What a creative power has an affectionate heart!
Now, as with a fresh eye he reperused it, and with that strange, innocent admiration, not of self for a man's work is not, alas! himself, it is the beautified and idealized essence, extracted he knows not how from his own human elements of clay; admiration known but to poets, their purest delight, often their sole reward.
But perhaps lacking the patience as well as the keener sight of youth, he was forced to relight the candle which he had left on the counter, and reperused the paper. Yes! there was certainly no mistake! Here was the actual description of the property which the surveyor had just indicated as the future terminus of the new railroad, and here it was conveyed to him Daniel Harkutt! What was that?
WILLIAM BENT PITMAN, if this should meet the eye of, he will hear of SOMETHING TO HIS ADVANTAGE on the far end of the main line departure platform, Waterloo Station, 2 to 4 P.M., Sunday next. Morris reperused this literary trifle with approbation. 'Terse, he reflected. 'Something to his advantage is not strictly true; but it's taking and original, and a man is not on oath in an advertisement.

And yet, cold-bloodedly to expose him and pluck the clothing from a passion dear to think of only when it is profoundly secret struck her as an extreme baseness, of which not even the woman who perused and reperused his letters could be guilty. Her head rang with some of the lines, and she accused her head of the crime of childishness, seeing that her heart was not an accomplice.
