"The Northern Lights," which, at their winter evening illuminations, seem to have shredded into wavy filaments all the rainbows that have spanned the chambers of the East since the Flood, and to upspring, in mirthful fantasy, to hang their infinitely-tinted tresses to the zenith's golden diadem of stars even they sport upon the same lofty concave of dewless blue, which looks through and through the lacework and everchanging drapery of their mingled hues in the most witching mazes of their nightly waltz, giving to each a definiteness that our homely Saxon tongue might fit with a name.
I saw you conduct Halloway to the centre of the bridge; I beheld him kneel to receive his death; I saw, too, the terrible race for life, that interrupted the proceedings; I marked the sudden upspring of Halloway to his feet upon the coffin, and the exulting waving of his hand, as he seemed to recognise the rivals for mastery in that race.
Such gentlemen as my father were not asked; only the roisterers and hard drinkers, and gambling friends of the Intendant. You would know the sort of upspring it would be. Well, I was sitting in my window, looking down into the garden; for the moon was shining. Presently I saw a man appear below, glance up towards me, and beckon. It was Voban.
Deny it, right and left, my good Philip; and say, on my authority, that the Reverend Mother hath most certainly not caused the crypt way to be searched. I would I could lay hands on the originator of these foolish tales." The Bishop spoke with apparent vexation, but his heart had bounded in the upspring of a great relief.

It was the Fountain of Youth he sought, that fabled fountain of which men had dreamed for centuries, and which was thought to lie somewhere in eastern Asia. Might not its waters upspring in this new land, whose discovery was the great marvel of the age, and which men looked upon as the unknown east of Asia? Such was the new-comer's dream.
Whose voice then? Stella's, as we say as we know. But if not Stella's, as Jenny Prask says why then there is only one other woman's voice which could have given the news." "Jenny's," cried Millie with a sudden upspring of hope. "Yes, Jenny Prask's." Millie Splay rose from her chair swiftly and rang the bell; and when Harper answered it, she said: "Will you ask Jenny to come here?" "Now, my lady?"
Undoubtedly Madame Hernandez was taking a purely business observation, and we had chanced to fall within its focus. The resemblance was, indeed, striking. There was the banded hair over the eyes, the slightly drooping mouth, the peculiar upspring of the eyebrow arch the Queen of Spades in person, as Indiman had said. And this was her third appearance. Indiman removed his hat with a sweep.
So well had he learned the difference between one and two that it came to him how the profoundest psychologist can no more state than can he state what thought is in itself that there was one glass only when two glasses had been commanded. With an abrupt upspring, his throat half harsh with anger, he placed both forepaws on the table and barked at the waiter.
