There was a general murmur of assent, for all wished that the trophies of their bravery should, if possible, be carried to Rhodes. "That will certainly be the best plan, Sir John, though it may detain us here for two or three days, or even more, for it is quite uncertain when the other two galleys may put in at the rendezvous. Will you yourself undertake the mission?" "With pleasure."
Both warriors, worn by toil and travel, were soon fast asleep, each on his separate pallet. Kenneth the Scot was uncertain how long his senses had been lost in profound repose, when he was roused to recollection by a sense of oppression on his chest, which at first suggested a flirting dream of struggling with a powerful opponent, and at length recalled him fully to his senses.
He had been brought to Paris a weak old man, by Francis, in pursuance of a certain fixt artistic policy, to which it may be noticed this forgotten and uncertain grave does but little credit.
"Do you think he honestly believes that she's the missing heir?" Mrs. Smith asked. The ladies looked uncertain but there was no doubt in their brother's mind. "Not for a moment of time do I think he does," he shouted. "But what would be his object? Why should he try to thrust the child into a perfectly strange family?"

It was as though the man were born in his place, as though, like a sailor on a tiny boat, accustomed through a lifetime to a rolling, uncertain equilibrium, the adjustment thereto had become involuntary as a heart beat, instinctive as breathing. A splendid picture he made there in the starlight and the solitude; but of it the man who followed was oblivious.
The rise, indeed, supposing there has been any, has hitherto been so very small, that after all that has been said, it may, perhaps, appear to many people uncertain, not only whether this event has actually taken place, but whether the contrary may not have taken place, or whether the value of silver may not still continue to fall in the European market.
