And if I could show you" and here she fixed her steadfast glance upon the King, "where you might win friends instead of losing them, if I could persuade you to look and see where the fires of Revolution are beginning to smoulder and kindle under your very Throne, if I could bear messages from you of compassion and tenderness to all the disaffected and disloyal, I would ask you on my knees to let me be your daughter in affection, as I am by marriage; and I would unveil to you the secrets of your own kingdom, which is slowly but steadily rising against you!
In Hellas proper, in like manner, the pigmy feuds which were customary there continued to smoulder; and even Macedonia, formerly so tranquil, consumed its strength in the intestine strife that arose out of its new democratic constitutions. It was the fault of the rulers as well as the ruled, that the last vital energies and the last prosperity of the nations were expended in these aimless feuds.
Dry and worm-eaten, a spark upon them became a smoulder, and a smoulder a blaze. A choking smoke filled the air, and the five could scarce grope their way to the staircase which led up to the very summit of the square tower. Strange was the scene which met their eyes from this eminence.

Harz, who had risen, looked at Christian's empty place. 'If I were married! he thought suddenly. Herr Paul, with a somewhat vinous glare, still muttered, "But your duty to the family!" Harz slipped through the window. The moon was like a wonderful white lantern in the purple sky; there was but a smoulder of stars.
Her dark eyes, proud and passionate, began to smoulder. But the voice with which she answered him was silken smooth. "I see. You pretended to be working with me and then you betrayed me. Is that it?" "If you like," he said with a little shrug. "I backed my judgment against your impatience. And it turns out that I was right." "How? What has happened? Where is Sebastian?"
We can see their eyes, green and yellow as coals, watching us from the tree branches beyond. The fires smoulder as a crown of jewels around us, and smoke stands still in the air, in columns made blue by the moonlight. We sleep together in the midst of the ring, the arms of the Golden One around us, their head upon our breast.
