He vaguely formed replies to her questions and he hardly realized what the questions were; he was too stirringly conscious of the rich quiet of her voice and of the caress of the grey fur of her cloak when the back of his hand touched it rather accidentally now and then, as they moved on together.
And it is little wonder that Barbour wrote so stirringly of his hero, for he lived not many years after the events took place, and when he was a schoolboy Robert the Bruce was still reigning over Scotland. *Cosmo Innes. In the beginning of his book Barbour says:
The young, flower- crowned head, the slender, slippered feet, the youthful and appealing voice what weapons had she against these? And beyond these was the additional lure as old as the theatre itself of the fascinating profession: the work that is like play, the rouge and curls, the loves and rages so openly assumed yet so strangely and stirringly effective!
From the street came the tumult of the pavements, pervading the whole house with a continual uproar, so broad and deep that only an unaccustomed ear would dwell upon it. A company of the city soldiery, with a full military band, marched in front of the hotel, invisible to me, but stirringly audible both by its foot-tramp and the clangor of its instruments.

The first item in the late afternoon mail stung him to a fitter spirit, as a sharp blow will spur to his best efforts a courageous boxer. This was a packet, containing the crumbled fragments of a spray of arbutus, and a note in handwriting now stirringly familiar. I have read your editorial.
"Now, children, we'll begin the afternoon session by singing 'America," she said. She played the air over a little very sweetly and stirringly, and then as the children stood up she came down close to them, standing just in front of Betsy. She drew the bow across the strings in a big chord, and said, "NOW," and Betsy burst into song with the others.
At such times he stood erect again, and spoke stirringly, finding eager listeners. There was one question they asked him over and over: "But are you sure the call will come?" "As sure as that we stand here; and it will come before the week is out. We must be ready!"
