They--she at least, and that was all he cared for--were out enjoying the moon and the sea. How favorable was the night! But who was with her? The Marchesino had very keen eyes. And now he used them with almost fierce intensity. But Ruffo was on the far side of Vere. It was not possible to discern more than that he was male, and taller than the girl in the white dress.

Hermione looked for Ruffo's face among all these sun-browned faces, for his bright eyes among all the sparkling eyes of these children of the sea. But she could not see him. She walked along the wall slowly. "Ruffo--Ruffo--Ruffo!"
She was summoning him with her mind. Perhaps he was among those bathing boys.英文原著 · 《A Spirit in Prison》
It increased in intensity and gradually occupied the whole scene. Things were no longer seen by Thire's light, but by this new light. It cast no shadows. Corpang's nostrils swelled, and he held himself more proudly. "What fire is that?"

They both glanced instinctively at the three statues. In the strange glow they had undergone a change. The face of each figure was clothed in the sordid and horrible Crystalman mask. Corpang cried out and put his hand over his eyes.英文原著 · 《A Voyage to Arcturus》
Vandenesse's involuntary shudder at her dictum plead more eloquently for him than all his past assiduity.
