Of this melancholy fact Marian was not ignorant. Her unhappy journey across the great plains had revealed to her many a strange incident many a wicked phase of the human heart. All agreed that Lilian must be taken from the Mormons, either by force or by stealth. It must be done, too, before they could reach the Salt Lake city.
Though Bertram did not like the marriage forced on him by the king, it seems he was not insensible to love, for since he had been stationed with the army at Florence, he had fallen in love with Diana, a fair young gentlewoman, the daughter of this widow who was Helena's hostess; and every night, with music of all sorts, and songs composed in praise of Diana's beauty, he would come under her window, and solicit her love: and all his suit to her was that she would permit him to visit her by stealth after the family were retired to rest; but Diana would by no means be persuaded to grant this improper request, nor give any encouragement to his suit, knowing him to be a married man; for Diana had been brought up under the counsels of a prudent mother, who, though she was now in reduced circumstances, was well-born, and descended from the noble family of the Capulets.
Plague take the scamp that he must be forever returning to worry us!" "How much of a force had he with him?" asked the commissary. "He was alone," replied Janice. "Alone!" exclaimed the baron, incredulously; then his face lost its look of surprise. "He came by stealth to see you,

From the time of his appearance in my room, either he left off being thirsty which was not in the bond or he could not make up his mind to hear his little bucket drop back into his well when he let it go: a shock which in the best of times had made him tremble. He drew no water but by stealth and under the cloak of night.
And this, as he was obliged to work by stealth, was no easy task. After some cogitation the wily chaplain concluded that it would be best to hear the general opinion of the Beorminster gossips in order to pick up any stray scraps of information likely to be of use to him. Afterwards he intended to call on Mr Inspector Tinkler and hear officially the more immediate details of the case.
If but I had a little Æneas to play in my halls I should not seem so altogether desolate." But Æneas, fearing the words of Jupiter, stood with eyes that relented not. At the last he spake: "I deny not, O Queen, the benefits that thou hast done unto me, nor ever, while I live, shall I forget Dido.

"But, Marcy, you dare not hoist it here," exclaimed Mrs. Gray. "Not now; but there may come a time when I shall dare do it. The other flag well, the other was made by a Union girl in Barrington, who had to work on it by stealth, because her sister, and every other member of her family except her father, were the worst kind of secesh.
It don't matter whether he wanted you for himself or for his plays. The point is that he took you away from me he, my friend and did it by stealth. You can't deny that." "He offered me a chance for a career that was all," said she. "He never asked for my love or showed any interest in it. I gave him that." He laughed his old-time, gentle, sweet, wicked laugh.
There was a strange feeling among us of unlawfulness and stealth, as of ambushed pirates waiting to attack some unwary merchantman, or highwaymen waylaying a fat alderman on a country road.
