But there was one with whom Haco was more often than with all others one whom the presence of Harold had allured to that anxious scene of intrigue, and whose heart leapt high at the hopes whispered from the smileless lips of Haco. It was the second day after that which assured him the allegiance of the thegns, that a message was brought to Harold from the Lady Aldyth.
I rubbed my eyes, half expecting that I was the subject of mere optical illusion; but a second look only confirmed the first. Around me were solemn, go-to-meeting faces, smileless and awful; and close at hand were the delving, toiling, mud-begrimed laborers. Nobody seemed surprised at it; nobody noticed it as a thing out of the common course of events.
She has tried to comfort herself with the sorrows of others as a medicine. Lucia Brade, who has carried her preference for Eugene so openly, must be secretly brokenhearted, she thinks, and she looks for heavy eyes and a smileless face. But no, while there was hope Lucia waited; now that he is gone irrevocably, she bestirs herself instead of donning sackcloth.
She looked over her shoulder, where, twenty feet away, her husband was talking across the bronze bar with another elderly man in the adjoining box. "It's a conference," she went on "it's a deal; it's on my account he told me so himself. If it goes through it means another string to this necklace." She suddenly became quite smileless and rigid. "Why, what's the matter?" asked Jane. Mrs.
Yet, the pilgrimage part of the excursion was its pet feature there is no question about that. After dismal, smileless Palestine, beautiful Egypt had few charms for us. We merely glanced at it and were ready for home. They wouldn't let us land at Malta quarantine; they would not let us land in Sardinia; nor at Algiers, Africa; nor at Malaga, Spain, nor Cadiz, nor at the Madeira islands.
The moral of this man's life will be seen by him for whom this imperfect Sketch has been penciled. Ah Lee. He was the sunniest of Mongolians. The Chinaman, under favorable conditions, is not without a sly sense of humor of his peculiar sort; but to American eyes there is nothing very pleasant in his angular and smileless features.
How curious it is that we always consider solemnity and the absence of all gay surprises and encounter of wits as essential to the idea of the future life of those whom we thus deprive of half their faculties and then call BLESSED! There are not a few who, even in this life, seem to be preparing themselves for that smileless eternity to which they look forward, by banishing all gayety from their hearts and all joyousness from their countenances.
So stern he seemed, his face so smileless under those laughing curls, that Kit hardly recognised in him the boy-hearted swordsman of a few minutes since. The story finished, he sat long unmoving; his mouth set, and eyes inward. Then he began to pace up and down again. "My prayer is heard," he said at last, and stopping turned to the boy. "Kit Caryll, d'you know what I am?"
She turns her frost-rimed glass from the grim horizons to the grimmer skies, and always in the movement of the darkened shadows is written the word, "Disaster." ...Smileless Germany, stricken as never a nation was stricken before, save by the wrath of God, still holds to the fatal enchantment of a fatherland of the ground, while the changes in the Prussian boundaries are marked in fire and the blood of her children.... Russia is looking southward, furious to open her casements upon the perilous seas gloomy millions of the tundras, mighty millions of the ice-ringing plains looking southward, marching southward, to-day marking time, to-morrow a league, but southward as a ship in passage.
"The money is mine, my captain," said Iberville good-humouredly. "There will be sport, and I ask but that you give me every chance you can." "Look then, monsieur," replied the smileless man, "I'll run your ship for all she holds from here to hell, if you twist your finger. She's as good a craft as ever I spoke, and I'll swear her for any weather.
