He was silent and dejected. "You must forget her," said I kindly. "It is only a little while since you first saw her." "A little while! It is my whole life!" "Only a few weeks," I continued. "We shall soon be across the ocean, and you will see other ladies." "There is only one Miss St. Clair." "I beg your pardon there are three of them."
Sometimes, too, he would leave me for an hour with my friend, and call for me again on his way back; so that we were not wholly parted even now. But Hartmann took care never to leave us alone. Before my father's footsteps were out of hearing, he would be in the room; silent, unobtrusive, perfectly civil, but watchful as a lynx. We could not talk before him freely. Nothing was as it used to be.
"He will not change you; he will only restore you to what you were." "I will not be aught of his making." "Are you not willing to have that set right which you have set wrong?" She lay silent; her suffering seemed abated. "If you are willing, put yourself again on the settle." "I will not," she answered, forcing the words through her clenched teeth.
Mortals on each hand of you, close by, stretched out horizontal, dormant; and we alive and quaking! Crack, crack, through the Rue de Grammont; across the Boulevard; up the Rue de la Chaussée d'Antin, these windows, all silent, of Number 42, were Mirabeau's.

"I don't know him don't want to know him! What have you got to do with him?" "He was kind to me when I was down here before." "I don't care you should have much to do with the clergy." "You said, sir, I might go into the church!" "That's another thing quite! You would have the thing in your own hands then!" Richard was silent. There was no point to argue.
Come now and unroll with me one corner of the still, the silent past, and I shall read you a few pictures in the old time life at Haughton Hall, County Surrey, England.
I am richer than you are I have youth I have what they call beauty. And neither riches, youth, nor beauty ever gave me the silent and deep happiness I experience when I think of you. This is a worship that might, I repeat, well make even you vain. Think of these words, I implore you.
They suggest two fencers crossing and recrossing harmless foils. From time to time, the male stridulates a little, gives a few short strokes of the bow and then falls silent, feeling perhaps too much overcome to continue. Eleven o'clock strikes; and the declaration is not yet over. Very regretfully, but conquered by sleepiness, I quit the couple.
He had scarcely gained his position, when he saw the huge animal coming towards him with silent and majestic tread; and although the elephant only walked, half-a-dozen of his gigantic strides brought him close up to the ambushed hunter. As yet the creature uttered no cry; but as he moved, Von Bloom could hear a rumbling gurgling sound, as of water dashing to and fro in his capacious stomach!
