Under an effort of will he was turning away when she appeared. Presently they were seated in the study, and he was telling her of his expected visitors. "I wonder," he said with some diffidence, "if you could forget that you saw Lancaster in my uncle's room that night." There was a trace of a frown on Marjorie's brow. "Of course I will do my best, Mr. Craig.
Although they searched everywhere no trace of it could they find, but as they were walking up the hill a week or so afterwards they thought they saw Mattie Hastings through the trees. They called as a jest, "We've seen you and you're discovered come out!" Whereupon someone shrieked, and proceeding to the spot they found Mattie lying upon the ground.
What a picture, thought I, of the pageantry of life, as viewed from a higher point than this world! Instead of an hour, take a thousand years, and how do the scenes shift! The golden spectacle of empire has moved westward from the banks of the Euphrates to those of the Tiber and the Thames. You can trace its track by the ruins it has left.
"How glorious you look in those magnificent velvet robes!" cried Count Schwarzenberg, with a sigh, "and how much your Spanish costume makes me long for the sumptuous life of the imperial court!

"That isn't ingenuity, miss, it's historic research, and you'll probably find that Florence Douglass can trace her ancestry right back to the aforesaid barbarians." "I suppose most of us are descended from primitive people," said Marian.
Very close to the bank he saw by examination of the soil, where there was no more trace of tiny heels and little soles, that the woman who had been found there was carried, and carried, into a boat, of which the place of fastening to the bank was still visible. "They have carried off Natacha," he cried in a surge of anguish. "bungler that I am, that is my fault too all my fault all my fault!
"To us the future's all unknown; In memory seek relief. Come, touch the chords you know so well, And let them soothe our grief." In 1388 the Mongols were expelled. The Christian bishopric was swept away, and left no trace; but a book of the younger Polo, describing the wealth of China, gave rise to marvellous results.
The motherless daughter of an official of the Lord of the Manor, a beautiful girl who was the idol of her family and loved by everybody, fell a victim to the villainy of her father's assistant to whom she was engaged to be married; he betrayed her and then left the village, and no one could trace his whereabouts.
