The sombreness of a burial hung over the castle. Half an hour before the time set for the meeting in the throne room Yetive sent for her uncle, her aunt and Dagmar. As Anguish and the latter followed the girl turned her sad, puzzled eyes up to the face of the tall American and asked: "Are you rejoicing over our misfortune? You do not show a particle of regret.
Probably, if there had been no breach in Robert's serenity Catherine's poor last effort would have been much feebler, briefer, more hesitating.

Then the low, strong tower of a church, with the sombreness of cypress beside it, and the thatched roofs of cottages. Something stirred in the heart of Robinette as she looked, that part of her blood which her English mother had given her.
Carterette was quick of instinct in her way, but yet she had not seen any marked change in her friend during the past few months.
