That night Bothwell blows up the Kirk of Field, Elizabeth and all. Darnley has only one resource. Borrowing the riding habit of the rural heroine, the lady of Fernilee, he flees across the Border, and, for the rest of his life, personates Queen Elizabeth. Side-lights on Shakespeare's Sonnets were obviously cast. The young man whom Shakespeare admired so, and urged to marry, was Darnley.
I should probably pick up some interesting side-lights about myself." "Very well." Her eyes danced with excitement. "You're what they call a buccaneer of business, aren't you?" Here were certainly diverting pastimes. "I believe I have been called that; but, then, I've had the hardest names in the dictionary thrown at me so often that I can't be sure."
She stole softly into the hall, and, herself invisible, gazed through the dusty side-lights of the portal at the young, blooming, and very cheerful face which presented itself for admittance into the gloomy old mansion. It was a face to which almost any door would have opened of its own accord.
Lamps were lit on the wharves, and passing craft hung out their side-lights. The girl rose to her feet. "I won't wait any longer; I must be going," she said. "He may be back at any moment," urged the mate. "No, I'd better go, thank you," replied the girl; "it's getting late. I don't like going home alone." "I'll come with you, if you'll let me," said the mate, eagerly.

The more rhymes and jingles it can hear, the more fairy tales, stories of adventure, thrilling deeds of heroism, the better it is for the forming traits of character. In nearly all the stories a mother may find to read or tell to her children, there are examples and side-lights of courage, devotion, honor, loyalty, cheerfulness, patience, and other exhilarating qualities.
Through the side-lights I could see that the wide entrance hall was for the moment unoccupied; but at the knocker-lifting I had a flitting glimpse of some one a little man all in sober black coming down the stair. There was no immediate answer to my peal, but when I would have knocked again the door was swung back and I stepped quickly within to find myself face to face with Margery.
One leg is shorter than the other and withered up some. He has to walk on crutches. I saw her out with him once crossing the ferry. The doctors have been experimenting on him for years, and he's in the French Hospital now, I think." All of which side-lights on Miss Mason went to increase Daylight's interest in her. Yet, much as he desired, he failed to get acquainted with her.
Written for the most part with unstudied ease and unreserve, they entertain the reader with constant variety of incident and character, while at the same time they throw innumerable side-lights upon the society and the history of the time. Next, we may come to the master-pieces of the essay-writers.
If anything's going to run us down we couldn't get out of its way. Turn in, all hands, and get some sleep." The sailors slipped forward, setting the side-lights as they went, while the two hunters remained to sleep in the cabin, it not being deemed advisable to open the slide to the steerage companion-way. Wolf Larsen and I, between us, cut off Kerfoot's crushed finger and sewed up the stump.
