After crossing a stubble-field, now overgrown by the violet-coloured pimpernel, I reached the sinister pool, fringed with the flag's sword-like leaves and shadowed by willows and alders. I expected to find the water all in tumult; but no, it had the dark, solemn stillness of the mountain tarn.
It was mysterious, it was profoundly annoying, but it was not, to Hugo, alarming. He suspected that Peter Ledgard was in some way mixed up in it; that he, himself, had been shadowed and that Peter had stolen Tony in the crowd. In his mistrustful wrath he endowed Peter with such abnormal foresight and acumen as he certainly did not possess. It really was an impossible situation.
The girl returned his earnest look with a smile and slowly answered: "All right, Beauty Stuart, we'll see " The dinner at night was informal. Colonel Lee had invited three personal friends from Washington. He hoped in the touch of the minds of these leaders to find some relief from the uneasiness with which the reading of Mrs. Stowe's book had shadowed his imagination.
Grayish blue steam whirls up to the shadowed ceiling and moistens with falling drops the rounded silver of the tea urn. The bell rings. From the housekeeper's rooms floats an odour of fresh baked breads. They are having a feast there. Perhaps they mean to prepare one for the master, too. A new book that has come a great distance to-day is in my hand. I read.
Just then, too, Sah-luma appeared handsomer than ever in the half- subdued tints of radiance that flickered through the lowered pale- blue silken awnings: the effect of the room thus shadowed was as of a soft azure mountain mist lit sideways by the sun, a mist through which the white-garmented, symmetrical figure of the Laureate stood forth in curiously brilliant outlines, as though every curve of supple shoulder and proud throat was traced with a pencil of pure light.
As priest he had looked into many others, framed in the side window of the confessional the most wonderful of all schools for studying human nature but few like those of the man before him; eyes so clear and sincere, yet shadowed by what the priest vaguely felt was some overwhelming sorrow.

All in all, it was a "toss up," and many predicted that neither side would score. But no such neutral tint shadowed the rosy dreams of the Blues. They were full of fight, and brimming over with confidence.
Bob was known as a gambler, too, and more than once had he been watched and shadowed because of some ill deed connected with his name; we had seen his face, and his picture adorned the rogues' gallery. Delbras, however, was likely to give us some trouble; we had seen him, it is true, but it was only a fleeting glimpse, with the possibility that he was at the moment cleverly disguised.
But her face was lined now with care and shadowed by sadness, as though with the success of her husband there had come, also, regrets and disappointments which she had suffered in silence and alone. She returned Adam's smile of greeting, when she saw him standing there, but that note of anxiety was still in her voice as she said gently, "Where in the world have you been?
