Norton lifted up his head, which had been bowed down upon his hand; and I shall never forget how his pale and sharp features did seem paler than their wont, and his solemn voice seemed deeper and sadder.
Or that sadder story of another less fortunate boy, poor heavy-headed William of Gloucester? Tutors crammed and doctors shook him up, with the best intentions, in vain. In his happier moments he drilled his regiment of little soldiers on that Palace Green before his uncle, King William.
Is it, thought Captain Delano, that this hapless man is one of those paper captains I've known, who by policy wink at what by power they cannot put down? I know no sadder sight than a commander who has little of command but the name.
The Lady Grace became sadder and more silent than before, but she seemed less haughty and warlike.

She began to notice kindly little children to give more generously to the poor, and was even suspected of praying sometimes, and of wearing a concealed crucifix.

The roar of the sea and the cry of the wind came in again, more lonesome, sadder than ever.
