There is no brighter place in Venice by which I mean that on the whole there is none half so bright. The reflected sunshine plays up through the great windows from the glittering lagoon and shimmers and twinkles over gilded walls and ceilings. All the history of Venice, all its splendid stately past, glows around you in a strong sealight.
The gorgeous old mendicant took them all grimly and leering, and then pounced upon the Northern man, assured by their twinkles and winks that the rest expected some sport.

What's yore's?"
'Look at the alchemist's glass! something twinkles in it; it is glowing, pure and heavy. He lifted it with a trembling hand and shouted with a trembling voice: "Gold! gold!" He reeled, and I could easily have blown him over, said the wind, 'but I only blew upon the embers, and followed him to the room where his daughters sat shivering.
Bobby had a bewitching smile, and twinkles of humour all over his face when he was giving free play to his imagination.

Moore tells us of the Indian maids upon the banks of the Ganges who light a tiny taper, and, on a frail little chip, set it afloat upon the river. It twinkles and dwindles, and flashes and expires. Mr. Stedman watches the minor poets trimming their tapers and carefully launching their chips upon the brimming river.
Spelt with a capital S, it constituted her Deity; her heaven was a severe and shadowless eternity, and plain words were the flowers that grew in her Elysian fields. She had simplified her life and her looks. Even her smile was shorn of all accessories like dimples or twinkles. Her hair, which was not abundant, was the colour of corn, straight and shining. Her eyes were a cold dark grey.
Observing several twinkles in his eyes, she got up hastily and said she really must go and dry her gown. "Yes," said Miss Maitland; "come into my room, dear." Fanny complied, with rather a rueful face, not doubting that the public "dear" was to get it rather hot in private. Her uneasiness was not lessened when the old maid said to her, grimly, "Now, sit you down there, and never mind your dress."
Indeed, in such regions there is a solitariness for which there seems a peculiar sense, and upon which the shadows of night sink with a strange relief, hiding from the eye the wide space which yet they throw more open to the imagination.
