The surprising horror had reduced everyone to soberness: all tipsiness, all winy drowsiness, had passed away. "Lorand, Lorand," sobbed mother, pressing him frantically to her breast, while grandmother, unable to speak or to weep, clutched his hand. "Oh Lorand, dear...." But Lorand grasped the two ladies' hands and led them towards me. "It is him you must embrace, not me: his is the triumph."
If her eyes hadn't been so blue and her cheeks so pink; if only her hair had been a little darker and if it hadn't crinkled Now, as I looked at her, I wondered how anybody could think she was like Viola. I had caught it now and then and couldn't make up my mind what it was. Now I saw that it was a sort of wisdom, a look of soberness and goodness that I couldn't quite account for.
Indeed it may be said that either at the Bar, in well remembered efforts of marked brilliancy as an advocate, or on the Bench, occasionally illuminating the soberness of judicial proceedings, or in assemblies on prominent public occasions occurring all through his life, eloquence, wit and humor seemed ready to his use.
"I should not have spoken so to the father of my betrothed to my own father, I might almost say. I beg your pardon sincerely." "Compose yourself, Ishmael, and listen to me. I speak the words of truth and soberness, and you must hear them. I say if in these days of intimate association with Lady Vincent your love for Claudia Merlin has revived, you must break with Bee." "Mr. Middleton!"
He got out of the buggy and carefully scanned the ground, flashing the same electric torch which had played a part here once before; smiling, despite his soberness, when he came to a patch of violently torn up sod ten feet from the spot where, evidently, Jane's horse had fallen. Here, he knew, Mac had made his gallant stand, desisting only after his instinct told him Jane had fled to safety.
Yet he made a most extraordinary impression upon his contemporaries. His name is never mentioned by his associates except with unusual respect. Brougham, when he alludes to him, even in a letter, seems to check his pen into soberness, and to be as cautious as if he were speaking on a religious subject.
"The hour of emancipation," said Thomas Jefferson, "is advancing in the march of time. It will come. If not brought on by the generous energy of our own minds, it will come by the bloody process of St. Domingo!" To the just and prophetic language of your own great statesman I have but a few words to add. They shall be those of truth and soberness.
And this we bear record with words of soberness, that the said Smith has shewn unto us, for we have seen and hefted, and know of a surety that the said Smith hath got the plates of which we have spoken. And we give our names unto the world, to witness that which we have seen, and we lie not, God bearing witness of it. Christian Whitmer Jacob Whitmer Peter Whitmer, Jr. Hyrum Smith Saml. H. Smith
"We can refuse to turn our houses into drinking-saloons," replied Mrs. Birtwell, voice and manner becoming excited and intense. "Margaret, Margaret, you are losing yourself," said the astonished husband. "No; I speak the words of truth and soberness," she answered, her face rising in color and her eyes brightening.
There was a soberness of purpose in the most trifling details of their duties, as if a crisis long expected had arrived. This change in manner was best exemplified by Doc Bird. Trask had noticed that when serving the table he had a way of looking over his shoulder suddenly, or taking on a look of scared intentness at any unexpected sounds from the deck or in the cabin.
