The wonderful generosity of her sentiments raises her at times into heroical and godlike regions, and verifies the pictures of Minerva, Juno, or Polymnia; and, by the firmness with which she treads her upward path, she convinces the coarsest calculators that another road exists than that which their feet know.
He could hear his heart beat, and his breathing was like the action of a bellows, in quick motion. Breath was gained, however, and the heart soon ceased to throb as if about to break through its confinement. The footsteps of those who toiled up the opposite side of the acclivity were now audible, and presently voices and treads announced the arrival of the pursuers.
On she came slowly proudly her slippered feet touching the carpeted steps as daintily as treads a fawn; her gown crinkling into folds of silver about her knees, one fair hand lost in a mist of gauze, the other holding the blossoms which Jack had pressed to his lips until she reached her father's side. "Dear daddy," I heard her whisper as she patted his sleeve with her fingers.
Is it not as if he stepped forth from amongst the dead, and announced that such afflicted creatures were to be where St. Bridget once ruled? Pace lightly over the floor! Thy foot treads on the graves of the pious: the flat, modest stone here in the corner covers the dust of the noble Queen Philippa.

But the walls were up, and the studding had already given skeleton shape to the interior. The floors were roughly boarded over, and the stairways were in place, with provisional treads rudely laid.
'The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city. But he that follows Jesus treads the right way to the city of habitation. Christ goes with us. The obscure words, 'It shall be for those' are by some rendered, 'He shall be with them, and we may take them so, as referring to the presence with His happy pilgrims of the Lord Himself.
While he treads with footstep firmer, leading on from hall to hall. And, while now she wonders blindly, nor the meaning can divine, Proudly turns he round and kindly, 'All of this is mine and thine. Here he lives in state and bounty, Lord of Burghley, fair and free, Not a lord in all the county is so great a lord as he.
