 46  9,4|         looked at her closely for a moment, as if to make sure that

 66 11,4|     proffered seat, and there was a moment's silence. M. Fortunat found
 67 12,1|            and perhaps at this very moment this support fails her,
 68 12,1|            been exposed to from the moment her mother left her on a
 69 12,3|          Yes." ~She reflected for a moment and then she asked: "Did
 70 12,4|          Marguerite deserts me at a moment when I am so wretched -
 71 12,4|      Marguerite might appear at any moment, and discover everything. ~"
 72 13,3|               now that the decisive moment had come, he was endowed

 80 13,8|            for, until the very last moment, he had doubted the promises
 81 14,3|        Coralth seemed to consider a moment, and then gravely replied: "

 97 16,3|             seemed to reflect for a moment; and then he solemnly exclaimed: "
 98 16,3|          shall fly and be back in a moment." ~He went off looking radiant;
 99 16,3|          off looking radiant; and a moment later the carriage which
100 16,3|        turned coward? And at what a moment, pray? Why, on the very

109 18,1|          was so terrible that for a moment she thought of hastening
110 18,1|            fail her at the decisive moment? "No, a thousand times no!"
111 18,1|             seemed so gloomy only a moment before, had now suddenly
112 18,2|      ironically, and remained for a moment silent. She was very proud,
113 18,5|            and I can join them in a moment!" Thereupon, without waiting
114 18,5|        spite of everything - at one moment furious with rage or wild
