He draws her hand within his arm the night is star-lit, lovely. The old time comes back, the old feeling of rest and content, the old comfortable feeling that it is Charley's arm upon which she leans, and that she asks no more of fate. To-morrow he may be Nellie Seton's just now, he belongs to her.
Their raiment flutters, the bells chime; the chorus of their gladness falls like voices through a star-lit heaven, half-heard in dreams and everlastingly remembered. Four sculptors, the younger contemporaries of Luca della Robbia, and marked by certain common qualities, demand attention next.
For a stranger, wilder chant than this which now went swelling up from that frenzied, swaying mass of humanity surely never stirred all that is most mystical in the soul of man!

It was a warm star-lit evening, and as Lorimer and Lovelace re-entered Winsleigh House, Beau stole a side-glance at his silent companion. "A plucky fellow!" he mused; "I should say he'd die game. Tortures won't wring his secret out of him." Aloud he said, "I say, haven't we had enough of this?
