One can realise in these regions the intense depth of the heavens when seen at night; we never get the same effect in our "weeping skies."

It shone and gleamed and glistened as if it were an angel's robe; and this scintillating effect was much increased by the sparkling of the diamonds in her hair, and at her throat and waist and hands and feet. Nor was her brilliant youth affected by the overshadowing tulle usually so unbecoming. It veiled her from head to feet, and was held in place by a diamond coronal.
Now she had come to look upon the matter in its true proportions, and her anticipation of a possible chance of teaching him a lesson was a pleasure to behold. Our table in the dining-room became again the abode of scintillating wit and caustic repartee, Farrar bracing up to his old standard, and the demand for seats in the vicinity rose to an animated competition.

My forgetfulness was but momentary; as the radiance and warmth of the returning sun swept over the glittering, scintillating, golden path that stretched from the horizon to the raft, the memory of all that had gone before, and the apprehension of what still haply awaited me, returned, and, as quickly as my cramped and aching limbs would allow, I staggered to my feet, flinging anxious, eager glances all around me in search of a sail.
Lines in huge coloured letters, extending across the top of the board, proclaimed the subject of the display: Bagley & Blondin's Gigantic Circus Two Colossal Aggregations in One Stupendous Startling Scintillating Moral Scientific Applauded by all the Crowned Heads of Europe. The pictorial nightmare that bore evidence to the veracity of these assertions was indeed wonderful and convincing.
Although the stars are scintillating and brilliant, the sun is superior to them in luminous effulgence.
The optical reflection of several inverted volumes improperly arranged and not in the order of their common letters with scintillating titles on the two bookshelves opposite. Catalogue these books.
