For there she sits, day after day, my wife! my poet! with the side-light falling on her hair, and the warm sea-breezes stirring the soft folds of her dress. Sometimes she lifts her eyes, those wondrous eyes, luminous from within "with the light of the rising soul" and then we talk awhile of our work, or of our love, believing ever that
A scarcely perceptible smile flitted over the young secretary's handsome face they were so venerable and eager, so careful of shadows of form! and in a sudden side-light a hint of a question obtruded itself on his consciousness, as to whether there could be a slightly farcical aspect to such an episode between two most Catholic and Christian governments?
He broke off, amazed at the determination her opposition had crystallized. She looked at him sharply and rose. "I must be running along," she commented as she drew on her gloves. "I tell you, I'll go call on Miss Robson some day this week. A woman can always get a better side-light on a situation like this. There are so many angles to be considered. She must have relatives.
I mean, too, that there is to be gained, from a scientific study of the working child, an irradiating side-light upon the tramp question, the unemployed question, and the whole ramifying question of the juvenile offender. . . .

On his own account, Dan, by keeping his mouth shut and his eyes open, learned not a little of the methods which characterized the relations of his company with various Governments; and while not all that he learned could in the widest implication of the phrase he designated as morally or, say, rather, ethically elevating, it afforded an interesting side-light upon the business character of Horace Howland.

Again we may say, with no pretense of probing the mystery in its depths, but as gaining a touch of side-light, it is plain that what we look at as the strictly moral forces of mankind the clear thinking, the definite purpose, the pure aspiration must be reckoned with as only a part of the volume of force that carries along the individual and the race.
The reverend father will explain to you, Monsieur Colbert, that I preserve to myself the direction of all the affairs of the order which concern France and Spain; but that I am not willing to retain the title of general, which would throw too high a side-light on the progress of the negotiations with which His Catholic Majesty wishes to intrust me.
One that is oval in shape is the best for the family to gather about, and therefore gives the most homelike appearance. The illumination of the library should center either upon this table, if a lamp is used, or above it, if gas or electric light. The desk should have a side-light of its own.
