Fraser coming back. Why, things are looking quite bright again; at least they would be if only Arthur were here," and her rejoicing ended in a sigh. As soon as she thought that he would have finished his beefsteak, with or without the onions, Angela walked down to the vicarage and broke in upon Mr. Fraser with something of her old gladsome warmth.

Ha! thought I, sailors see some changes in their time; and with a hearty sigh I stepped into the cook-room. I started, stopped, and fell back a pace with a cry.
But I must lie down. I am wearied with constant rambling. I am nervous too. I fell asleep awhile ago and dreamt I heard all my friends in a great clamoring body calling my name, 'Branasko! and then I awoke and cried for help."

For an instant Lawford paused, then like a child listening for an echo, answered, 'Yes, Sheila. And a sigh broke from him; his voice, except for a little huskiness, was singularly unchanged.

Keraunus grunted out, "Well!" set his gold circlet straight on his head which he held very upright, crossed his arms over his broad chest with a sigh, and ordered the black man: "Open the door."

"Spencer," he said, "if you hear the slightest noise in that room go in and shout for me." Spencer nodded.
