1 The sun had been shining brightly all day on the roof of my attic, and the room was warm.
2 As I was not able to cut my dinner, the old landlord with a shining bald head did it for me.
3 But, the stars were shining beyond the mist, and the moon was coming, and the evening was not dark.
4 Provis, who had been asleep too, staggered up at the noise I made, and in an instant I saw his jackknife shining in his hand.
5 It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.
6 It was a shaded lamp, to shine upon a book, and its circle of light was very contracted; so that he was in it for a mere instant, and then out of it.
7 I could see nothing of the room except the shining of the fire in the window-glass, but I stiffened in all my joints with the consciousness that I was under close inspection.
8 There I stood, for minutes, looking at Joe, already at work with a glow of health and strength upon his face that made it show as if the bright sun of the life in store for him were shining on it.
9 With his good honest face all glowing and shining, and his hat put down on the floor between us, he caught both my hands and worked them straight up and down, as if I had been the last-patented Pump.
10 Mr. Wopsle, united to a Roman nose and a large shining bald forehead, had a deep voice which he was uncommonly proud of; indeed it was understood among his acquaintance that if you could only give him his head, he would read the clergyman into fits; he himself confessed that if the Church was "thrown open," meaning to competition, he would not despair of making his mark in it.
