"That's been a good many years ago, colonel, but I can see him now just as plain as if he stood before me, with his white cotton gloves, white vest, and green coat with brass buttons, standin' behind Mrs. Slocomb's chair. I can see the old sidebo'd, suh, covered with George III. silver, heirlooms of a century," this with a trance-like movement of his hand across his eyes.
Three times he murmured, and his eyes burned into the shadows, where the girl trembled. Then he turned and went as he had come, his heavy feet crashing through the underbrush, on and on, fainter and fainter, as to the end of the world. Zora shook herself from the trance-like horror and passed her hands across her eyes to drive out the nightmare.
It would have seemed ruminative, the stare, had his eyes been softer or had he blinked; as it was, his face was set and trance-like. "Have you been in the country long?" St. Vincent asked, endeavoring to make conversation. Borg turned his sullen-black eyes upon him, and seemed to look into him and through him and beyond him, and, still regarding him, to have forgotten all about him.

I knew where to find in my drawers some linen, a locket, a ring.

God be with and comfort you, my own, own love. That was all. The pen dropped from the nerveless grasp. Clemence bent her head wearily on the table, and fell into a trance-like slumber. The night waned.
"You were standing there right where you are standing now, and you smiled like you smiled at me that day in the road.... There were little wrinkles around your eyes." "That is all real enough," he laughed. "I was and am doing all those things." "Yes, I know, but " Once more she shook her head and her voice carried the detached tone of a trance-like vagueness "but somehow it was all different.

So instant was the scene, so trance-like its mild pictorial effect, so distant from her blasted bower and her common sense of things, that Hunilla gazed and gazed, nor raised a finger or a wail. But as good to sit thus dumb, in stupor staring on that dumb show, for all that otherwise might be done.
I was most happy to smooth the way for him, and he came repeatedly after this to see me and express his satisfaction in the opportunities for study he enjoyed at Cambridge. He was a dark, still, slender person, always with a trance-like remoteness, a mystic dreaminess of manner, such as I never saw in any other youth.
From this trance-like condition he was recalled by the quizzical amusement of his employer and, bowing from the hips, he found himself murmuring some well-bred inanity.
It would be so, except that we are both seeking the same end your service " he paused, then added miserably "and your happiness."
