The promise in the rainbow, the siren's song to the mariners, the little dancing light in the marsh promising warmth and safety but only luring the weary traveler to this death had this same quality: the cheer, the hope, the beauty only to be blasted by misfortune. The warmth flooded in, and he looked about for something to sit on. He wished he had brought in one of the spruce logs he had cut.

Your voice is like a siren's, your hands command respect and love. Ah! that arm! place bracelets upon it, and how pleasingly it would rest upon the velvet of a robe! Your locks are chains which would fetter all men. And you could lay all your triumphs at Adolphe's feet, show him your power and never use it. Then he would fear, where now he lives in insolent certainty. Come! To action!

Louder and clearer came the frequent long-drawn wails of the steam fog-horn, until finally it seemed evident they were almost exactly above the lightship that, as Tom knew, was anchored on the shoals to warn mariners of their danger by means of a far-reaching lamp and the powerful siren's hoarse voice.

"By this time the crew on the boat next the Roanoke had caught the spirit and both lookouts joined in the swelling chorus: It's a mine here and a mine there, Over the ocean everywhere. Now our ships can cross the sea And win the war for Lib "Just at that part of the chorus we felt a crash which broke suddenly into the song with the thrilling tones of the siren's danger signal.

We have seen how his letter to Lady Erpingham miscarried: he had written no other. How strange to Constance must seem his conduct, after the scene of the avowal in the Siren's Cave: no excuse on the one hand, no explanation on the other; and now what explanation should he give?

And now, how delightful to her seemed that rugged way, as, with every moment, Godolphin's care Godolphin's hand became necessary; and he, inspired, inflamed by her company, by her touch, by the softness of her manner, and the devotion of her attention no, no! not yet was Lucilla forgotten! And now they stood within the Siren's Cave.

But after a bit she looked up with a seriousness, nay, a bitterness, in her siren's face, which astonished him. 'It is not amusing to take you in you are too ignorant. What do you suppose Henri Regnault matters to me? His world is as far above mine as Velazquez' art is above my art. But how can a foreigner understand our shades and grades?

Thirdly, that it is the nurse of abuse, infecting us with many pestilent desires: with a siren's sweetness, drawing the mind to the serpent's tail of sinful fancy.

"As we passed along," writes the essayist, "between Wem and Shrewsbury, and I eyed the blue hill tops seen through the wintry branches, or the red, rustling leaves of the sturdy oak-trees by the wayside, a sound was in my ears as of a siren's song.

Next came a tremendous sigh, followed by a cry of horror from Christine, and we heard Erik's voice: "I beg your pardon for letting you see a face like this! What a state I am in, am I not? Do I ask people who pass to tell me the time? He will never ask anybody the time again! It is the siren's fault." Another sigh, deeper, more tremendous still, came from the abysmal depths of a soul.
