Only as he went, for one strange second, as though drawn by some magnetic force, his eyes, dark and still, met those of the Englishman, with his level, unfaltering scrutiny. No word or outward sign passed between them. They were utter strangers; it was unlikely that they would ever meet again.
The banker returned his look as unflinchingly as he had done before, and spoke in a hard, unfaltering voice as he answered: "Tell this person, Margaret Wilmot, that I refuse to see her to-day, as I refused to see her in Portland Place, and as I refused to see her at Winchester!" he said, deliberately.
Rose Mackrell or his humour answered it in unfaltering terms. London heard, with the variety of feelings which are indistinguishable under a flooding amazement, that the beautiful new fruit and flower shop had been purchased and stocked by the fabulously wealthy young Earl of Fleetwood, to give his Whitechapel Countess a taste for business, an occupation, and an honourable means of livelihood.
Light as the footfalls were, they were squarely planted, unfaltering; slow, they never halted. Mechanically she pressed her jerking hand closer against the heart; its beats were almost done. They would finish, she calculated, just as those footfalls paused beside the bed.
All noble effort, as Sarah K. Bolton beautifully expresses it, is its own reward: "I like the man who faces what he must With step triumphant and a heart of cheer; Who fights the daily battle without fear; Sees his hopes fail, yet keeps unfaltering trust That God is God; that, somehow, true and just, His plans work out for mortals; not a tear Is shed when fortune, which the world holds dear, Falls from his grasp.
Do you think that sort of thing would be beneath Bunny's dignity, or likely to upset his morals?" "He'd probably jump at the chance," said Jake. "Which is more than his worthy brother-in-law does on his behalf," grinned Saltash. "No," Jake's steady eyes met the gibe unfaltering. "I know it's a chance that doesn't come every day, and I know you mean well by him.
Still unfaltering, the procession commenced to trudge back, the littlest boy and girl bearing themselves bravely, with lips tight pressed. Could the Indians hold off and see the water enter the fort see their prey enter, unharmed? It almost passed belief. Now the head of the procession was at the gate, and in safety. One by one and two by two those in the fore did enter.
Dear old stream, unchanging, unfaltering, with no harsher notes now than then, never growing old, smiling in your silver rustle, and calming yourself in the broad, placid pools, I love you as I love a friend! But now that the sun has grown scalding hot, and the waves of heat have come rocking under the shadow of the meadow-oaks, I have sought shelter in a chamber of the old farm-house.

Had it not been that Dr. Payson had set up and kept before her a tender, human, loving Christ, she would have been only a conscientious bigot. This image, however, gave softness and warmth to her religious life, and I have since noticed how her Christ-enthusiasm has sprung up in the hearts of all her children."
You fight in the open and die, honored; I fight in the dark and die dishonored. You fought for love of the Stars and Stripes; I for love of the Stars and Bars." A brief pause followed as Nancy's clear, unfaltering voice ceased; then Colonel Andrews rose. "The court is closed," he announced solemnly. "The findings will be sent to the proper authorities."
