liv; børnene derimod gir netop ved sine stemmer tilkjende, at 
de er i virksomhed. Hos Mrs. H. Ward findes oftere en sådan 
om fin opfatning vidnende udtryksmåde. Således: 
On aå certain November day David was sitting 
opposite to ”Lias. The fire burnt between them 
(ib. I, 120). — Dora stood and looked at him.... 
her whole, soft, rounded figure trembled with ani- 
mation and sympathy (ib. II, 9); 
hun stod der som en billedstøtte, ligesom fortryllet ved synet 
af ham. Men også hos andre forfattere kan det samme iagt- 
tages, f. eks.: 
Dombey sat in the corner of the darkened room 
in the great arm-chair by the bed-side, and Son 
lay tucked up warm in a little basket bed-stead. 
(Dickens, Dombey and Son I, 1; Tauchn.). 
Havde der her ståt vas sitting og was lyng, Vilde man ha 
ventet, at der i næste øieblik skulde hænde noget; men der 
hænder intet på en lang stund; der hviler en tung ro over 
værelset. — Således fremstilles ofte naturfænomener eller lig- 
nende fremtoninger ved hjælp af de uomskrevne tider for derved 
at skabe en ramme eller baggrund for de begivenheder, som skal 
berettes: 
My godmother read the evening paper, while 
she waited: I sewed. It was å wet night; the 
rain lashed the panes, and the wind sounded 
angry and restless (Bell, Villette I, 5; Tauchn.). 
— The stormy wind and rain beat in great 
waves of sound and flood against the breast of 
the mountain; the Kinder stream and the Red 
Brook danced under the heavy drops (Ward, 
Grieve I, 200). — The kettle sang, the fire 
crackled, and the wind shook the windows and 
doors (ib.).
