The triptych is as much copied as any picture in the gallery, not, however, for its principal figures, but for the border of twelve angels round the centre panel. Angelico's benignancy and sweetness are here, but it is not the equal of the "Coronation," which is a blaze of pious fervour and glory.
Her face was radiant with those feelings which had so recently changed from despair to delight a condition that is ever most propitious to beauty; and charms that always appeared feminine and soft, now seemed elevated to a bright benignancy that might best be likened to our fancied images of angels.
"I don't know what I've done for you to do this," he said. Mr. Lister waved it away again. "Keep it," he said, simply; "while you've got it on you, you'll know it's safe." From this moment a friendship sprang up between the two men which puzzled the remainder of the crew not a little. The attitude of the cook was as that of a son to a father: the benignancy of Mr. Lister beautiful to behold.
I added that the trouble had partially destroyed her memory, so that she was not competent to decide who her protectors were. When I had ended he was looking at me with a benignancy that I had never seen before upon his face. "M. Hewlett," he answered, "I have long suspected a part of what you have told me, and therefore I readily accept your statements.
Mordecai's brilliant eyes, sunken in their large sockets, dwelt on the scene with the cherishing benignancy of a spirit already lifted into an aloofness which nullified only selfish requirements and left sympathy alive. But continually, after his gaze had been traveling round on the others, it returned to dwell on Deronda with a fresh gleam of trusting affection.
Looking vaguely in the direction indicated, for I could not conceive what he meant and thought that the excitement must have made him mad, I perceived a venerable old man with a long white beard and clothed in a flowing garment, also white, who reminded me of Father Christmas at a child's party, walking towards us and radiating benignancy.
"You are the new owner. My dear child, if the silent prayers of a very unhappy old man will bring God's blessing on you there, there, girl! I didn't intend to make you weep. What a tender heart it is, to be sure!" She took his great toil-worn hand, and her hot tears fell on it, for his gentleness, his benignancy, had touched her deeply. "Oh, you must not tell anybody!

Maisie, in the bed according to regulation, and lying on the flat of her back, was singing nonchalantly to the ceiling. Carlo, unaware that at that moment he might have been a buried corpse but for the benignancy of Providence in his behalf, was feeling sympathetic towards himself because he was slightly bored. "Hello, kids!" Edward Henry greeted them.
I am only in earnest, in deadly earnest. A miracle is possible. The gulf between these two may yet be spanned. I see a way " What change was this to which she had suddenly become witness?
