As the ship ahead was almost stern on, they ran the British ensign to the Aurora's mizzen-mast head whence it streamed, a "meteor flag," in the silver-white glory of the sun. In a few moments the English colours were hoisted aboard the stranger, on which the Admiral delivered a British cheer, which was caught up and re-echoed by a few of the crew forward. "At the utmost," said Captain Weaver, "and the Minorca will want at least sixty." "At the utmost," said Captain Weaver, "and the Minorca will want at least sixty.".

Conrad
Her native blush, which was one of the delightful features of her loveliness, had vanished: her face was colourless, and this uncommon pallor which one would have thought could only have visited her cheek in the day of dangerous sickness or in death, heightened the wonder, the depth, the power of her dark eyes, whilst those lids of her's which naturally drooped upon the loveliness they eclipsed in slumber, were raised till the vision she might have been said to pour in soft light upon her companion, looked unnatural and wild, the eyes of madness, the incommunicable gaze of any one sooner than the half-veiled, love-lighted sweetness of the orbs of Lucy Acton. What could such an association as this end[Pg 450] in, but in such a love between the two as must prove irresistible sooner or later as an appeal? A gleam of satisfaction lit Anson's shifty eyes. "All right," he said shortly, and went off after the herd. "Well sir, you jest rest easy an' I'll get your horse myself.".
