"So, my proud beauty," hissed Mordaunt, "you expect this man to save you? 'Tis futile. At twelve, tonight, we shall plunge him into the Hudson River, and you, Martha, shall see him die!" Whereupon Martha gave a piercing shriek, swooned, and the curtain fell.
Budlong came into the reputation of her money Myra Eppley had the effrontery to call up on the telephone and say: "Would you mind telling me, my dear, the shade of wall paper you're going to have in your New York parlor, because I'm making you the daintiest little well, no matter, but will you tell me?" Poor Mrs. Budlong almost swooned from the telephone.
"It is better so," he was saying. "Better so!" His glance was upon her, and she understood what none other there suspected that those words were for her alone. He closed his eyes and swooned again, as the doctor stooped to remove the temporary bandages from his wound. Hortensia, a sob beating in her throat, turned and fled to her own room. Mr. Caryll was almost happy.
"Sir Max," she said, "if you allow yourself to become The Knight Doleful, I will not only cease having speech with you, but I will laugh at you." The latter she did then and there. This from a burgher girl of Peronne to a prince of the House of Hapsburg! The good duke and duchess would have swooned with horror had they known of it.
As for the alleged appearances of Christ to the disciples, those appearances may be explained in several ways. We may say that Christ really had risen from the dead, and was miraculously present; we may say that the accounts of His miraculous appearance are legends; or we may say that His reappearance was not miraculous at all, for He had never died, but only swooned.
Ultimately he got tired of the Calvinistic Genevese one of whom is said to have swooned as he entered the room and early in October set out with Hobhouse for Italy. They crossed the Simplon, and proceeded by the Lago Maggiore to Milan, admiring the pass, but slighting the somewhat hothouse beauties of the Borromean Islands.
Herky-Jerky soon had me sputtering, gasping, choking. When he finally pulled me out of the hole I was all but drowned. "You bow-legged beggar!" shouted Dick, "I'll fix you for that." "Whar's my gun?" yelled Herky, as I fell to the ground. "I lost it," I panted. He began to rave. Then I half swooned, and when sight and hearing fully returned I was lying in the cave on my blankets.
Scarcely tolerated until then at Courtornieu, she henceforth made herself respected, and even feared. She, who usually swooned if a kitten hurt itself, did not utter a cry. Her extreme fear gave her the courage that not unfrequently animates cowards when they are in some dire extremity.
And when his bidding was done, King Teghmus bade beat the drums and despatched messengers to announce the glad news to Janshah's mother, informing her of his approach; whereupon she mounted in great joy and she no sooner espied her son than she clasped him in her arms and swooned away for stress of gladness.
He who has never swooned, is not he who finds strange palaces and wildly familiar faces in coals that glow; is not he who beholds floating in mid-air the sad visions that the many may not view; is not he who ponders over the perfume of some novel flower is not he whose brain grows bewildered with the meaning of some musical cadence which has never before arrested his attention.
