Thus we four persons, alone and totally unarmed, travelled at midnight through the wildest and most dangerous regions.Fortunately the bright moon looked smilingly down upon us, and illuminated our path so brightly, that the horses carried us with firm step over every obstruction.I was, I must confess, grievously frightened by the shadows!…Cited from A Visit to the Holy Land, Egypt, and Italy, by Ida Pfeiffer

He forbade the runaways ever to show their faces near his Court -- he even dismissed his Chancellor Clarendon, whom he suspected of having a hand in the plot.But all his wrath fell impotently on the new Duchess, who returned his presents and settled smilingly down to enjoy her new dignities and her honeymoon.Within a year -- so powerless is anger against love -- Charles summoned the truants back to favour, and the Duchess, as Lady of the Bedchamber to the Queen, was installed once more at Whitehall, more splendid and pre-eminent than ever.…Cited from Love Romances of the Aristocracy, by Thornton Hall

Small-footed Chinese women pass, humping along on their stumps and their babies running along beside have larger feet than the mothers who bore them, Bench warmers gaze after them with lazy curiosity.A fat Italian granddaddy washes a kiddie's hand from the fountain and a man with a demijohn and a sense of humor goes smilingly down the path and what he has in the demijohn is none of our business."To make on the whole, a family happier for his presence."…Cited from Vignettes Of San Francisco, Almira Bailey
