I was in a stone-cold palazzo in Florence in winter. Ugh! Shall I ever forget it? I don't want to speak evil of Italy to an Italian " "I'm only Italian by descent," exclaimed Paul, with a laugh, his first frank laugh during the whole of that gloomy evening.
How much would the sight of children, whose fathers he had killed, have moved his heart of stone? Light as air would the burden of a child's death have rested on his conscience. And she heard his whisper, the same which the old stone-cold heathenism had whispered through all time. "Why repent? The gods rule us. The fates spin the threads of life.
In the village there is the clerical party, which is the majority; there is the anti-clerical party, and there are the ne'er-do-wells. The clerical people are dark and pious and cold; there is a curious stone-cold, ponderous darkness over them, moral and gloomy.
So I put out both hands to pull up the blankets but could find none anywhere. God! I wasn't in bed at all, but was standing! The horror of that moment! A wild heart beat lawlessly at my side. One more touch of terror, and it would rebel in utter panic. Why was the dormitory so dark? Why had the little night-lamp gone out? And the wooden floors were stone-cold like the window-sill in my dream.
He looked neither to the left nor to the right. His eyes were fixed and yet unseeing, his features were pale and bony. There was no gleam of life, not even in his stone-cold eyes.

'Yes, says I; 'you just take a pail o' stone-cold water, and throw it square into her face; that'll bring her out of it; and he looked at me a minute, and then he burst out a-laughing he couldn't help it. He's too good to her; that's the trouble." "You never said that to her about the dumplings?" said Aunt Polly, admiringly.
Twenty years have passed since then, and through those twenty years I still hear him. I want to hear you weep too, and not mock your executioners by putting on a stone-cold face like that. Yes, you shall weep, you shall entreat. I will not be happy till I see your eyes full of tears." Hétfalusy regarded the fury contemptuously, and knitted his lips.
It is the "boiling" type of spring, and the water, which is stone-cold, bubbles up through white quartzose sand at the foot of a low granite ledge. It flows throughout the year at the rate of about eight gallons a minute.
On the bed the mass, with its pink ribbons, breathed and breathed, while moths flew round the lamp, tapping and falling with light sounds. So did the heart of the darkness wear itself away, and through the stone-cold air the dawn began to filter and expand. Barker rose, bent over the bed, and then stood. Seeing him, McLean stood also. "Judge," said Barker, quietly, "you may call them now."
