Elisabeth in A Sentence

    1

    A smile spread across Elisabeth's face as Jackson crooned, "Nice dog."

    2

    After about a half hour of walking around trying to take everything in, Elisabeth said, "Pick one for yourself."

    3

    After an uncomfortable moment, Jackson asked, "If Elisabeth was to have a child with someone the pack chose, would they allow us to raise it?"

    4

    After dinner Elisabeth asked Jackson to show her mother the rest of the house.

    5

    After dinner, Jackson and Elisabeth insisted they clear and make coffee while Connor and Sarah visited with his family.

    6

    After Elisabeth fell asleep, he watched her for a long while before nodding off.

    7

    Although dissuaded by all his friends, on the 13th of July 1745 he sailed from Nantes for Scotland on board the small brig "La Doutelle," which was accompanied by a French man-of-war, the "Elisabeth," laden with arms and ammunition.

    8

    And lunged at Elisabeth.

    9

    Apparently I cannot bite Elisabeth.

    10

    Approaching Elisabeth's house, Jackson felt rattled with uncertainty.

    11

    As ducks waddled toward them, Elisabeth chuckled.

    12

    As he closed the door, Elisabeth asked, "Are you going to let me drive all those?"

    13

    As he rose to find Elisabeth, he noticed her engagement ring on the nightstand with a note under it.

    14

    As he turned away, he noted Elisabeth watching, and gave her an exaggerated wink.

    15

    As Jackson packed up the basket, Elisabeth stood again admiring the valley.

    16

    As she was practically being dragged up the stairs, Elisabeth looked back at Jackson.

    17

    As they approached it, Elisabeth let out a whistle.

    18

    As they cleaned up, Elisabeth broached the subject they had been avoiding.

    19

    As they entered the house, Elisabeth surveyed the living room.

    20

    As they sat down Jackson said, "I see where Elisabeth gets her beauty."

    21

    As they walked from room to room, Elisabeth seemed to be more than impressed, especially at the artwork.

    22

    As they walked to her car, Elisabeth said, "I hate to see this night end."

    23

    Before he could respond, Elisabeth grabbed his chin, squeezed it and turned his face to her.

    24

    By the time he reached Elisabeth's door, Jackson actually felt nauseated; a feeling he hadn't experienced since first being turned into a vampire.

    25

    By the time they finished their drinks, Elisabeth seemed much calmer.

    26

    By the time they reached the stairs, Elisabeth's face colored beet red and she avoided Sarah and Connor's amused gazes.

    27

    Cassandra's group had not seen Elisabeth yet.

    28

    Claudia turned to Elisabeth.

    29

    Connor assumed his best course would be to remove the IV from Elisabeth's arm, and saw this as his opportunity.

    30

    Connor glanced sheepishly at Elisabeth.

    31

    Connor had decided to tell his parents they were going away for the holiday and Elisabeth didn't want to deal with any family issues on her first Christmas with Jackson.

    32

    Connor had sold his condo, but Elisabeth still owned her home.

    33

    Connor shrugged and Jackson put his hand on Elisabeth's head.

    34

    Did Elisabeth tell you we spent the last full moon together?

    35

    Elisabeth and Connor were both out of Victor's line of sight.

    36

    Elisabeth and I will accompany you in case Victor knows more than we think.

    37

    Elisabeth and I will be ready to go with you.

    38

    Elisabeth and Jackson had already carved half the pumpkins, so were confident they would finish in time.

    39

    Elisabeth and Jackson hugged her from either side and Jackson stroked her hair.

    40

    Elisabeth and Jackson still stared at the diamond.

    41

    Elisabeth and Jackson talked in bed for a long while, both worried that tomorrow might alter their relationship irrevocably.

    42

    Elisabeth and Jackson were sweeping up the glass when she asked, "Will it take long for him to curb his strength?"

    43

    Elisabeth and Miriam drove separate cars to Fairhaven.

    44

    Elisabeth and Sarah joined him.

    45

    Elisabeth appeared at the top of the stairs wearing his shirt.

    46

    Elisabeth appraised Jackson then Sarah.

    47

    Elisabeth arched her eyebrows in a warning to Jackson.

    48

    Elisabeth asked Sam, "What kind of higher purpose are you talking about?"

    49

    Elisabeth asked, "Do you think Connor will sell his townhouse and move in here full time?"

    50

    Elisabeth asked, "How do you think father will take the news?"

    51

    Elisabeth asked, "What are we celebrating?"

    52

    Elisabeth asked, "You like it?"

    53

    Elisabeth blew out a patronizing breath.

    54

    Elisabeth blushed and loosened her grip on the sketchpad.

    55

    Elisabeth blushed causing him to laugh.

    56

    Elisabeth broke the embrace and walked away without a word.

    57

    Elisabeth brought a present for you Sarah.

    58

    Elisabeth brought her hand to his cheek.

    59

    Elisabeth chuckled, "I swear, there is a breeze when she enters and leaves a room."

    60

    Elisabeth chuckled, "You think he's going to make it?"

    61

    Elisabeth closed her eyes in dismay.

    62

    Elisabeth conducted a lecture on day five, so Jackson did his best to entertain Sarah.

    63

    Elisabeth continued to cry.

    64

    Elisabeth continued toward Victor, met him face to face, and growled, "Are we going to do this the easy way or the hard way?"

    65

    Elisabeth could get really pissed at both of us.

    66

    Elisabeth could hear the music playing; it sounded dark and melancholy.

    67

    Elisabeth didn't need Jackson to sit any longer, though she wanted to spend more time working on his portrait.

    68

    Elisabeth didn't say a word.

    69

    Elisabeth didn't seem to notice.

    70

    Elisabeth donned a guilty smile.

    71

    Elisabeth drove home, so Jackson had the opportunity to observe.

    72

    Elisabeth entered the room, and once again took his breath away.

    73

    Elisabeth felt a safe harbor in his arms, and Jackson wanted to give her every part of himself.

    74

    Elisabeth focused on her plate as she ate.

    75

    Elisabeth gasped and stood.

    76

    Elisabeth gasped, "You want me to carve thirty pumpkins?"

    77

    Elisabeth gently grazed his earlobe just as she had that first night.

    78

    Elisabeth grabbed a few and put them in the car.

    79

    Elisabeth grabbed her hand.

    80

    Elisabeth grabbed the apple and took a bite.

    81

    Elisabeth had closed her eyes, ready for a tirade.

    82

    Elisabeth had covered him with a blanket and either gone upstairs or home.

    83

    Elisabeth had fallen asleep with her head in Jackson's lap before they even took off.

    84

    Elisabeth had made her way into the house, "You all right?"

    85

    Elisabeth has been under pressure from the pack long before meeting you.

    86

    Elisabeth held her head in her hands, slowly shaking it.

    87

    Elisabeth held his arm.

    88

    Elisabeth held his face in her hands.

    89

    Elisabeth held his face.

    90

    Elisabeth held the first page in her hand and printed across the top read, 'God's Promise Unfolding'.

    91

    Elisabeth hugged his waist.

    92

    Elisabeth immediately deduced what was going on.

    93

    Elisabeth jumped up and put her head in his lap again.

    94

    Elisabeth knelt again and touched her left hand to his face.

    95

    Elisabeth laid Jackson's body on the sofa and knelt next to him.

    96

    Elisabeth laughed and arched a brow at him.

    97

    Elisabeth laughed, "You have to admit he has a point."

    98

    Elisabeth lay on her back gazing up at the ceiling.

    99

    Elisabeth leaned her elbows on the piano.

    100

    Elisabeth leaned in the doorway, arms crossed.

    101

    Elisabeth let out a fierce growl and morphed into a wolf.

    102

    Elisabeth let out an exasperated sigh and rubbed her forehead.

    103

    Elisabeth licked it, then stood, allowing him to pet the side of her head and ear.

    104

    Elisabeth lifted her head.

    105

    Elisabeth looked up, ready to say, 'That's a great idea.'

    106

    Elisabeth means 'God's promise'.

    107

    Elisabeth met Miriam at the door and threw her arms around her.

    108

    Elisabeth moved close to him and lay down again with her head in his lap.

    109

    Elisabeth must have noticed his intensity of thought.

    110

    Elisabeth narrowed her eyes.

    111

    Elisabeth noted the different last name.

    112

    Elisabeth noticed the abrupt change and suspected Jackson had something to do with it.

    113

    Elisabeth noticed the intensity on his face.

    114

    Elisabeth opened the door before Jackson had a chance to ring the bell.

    115

    Elisabeth peeked in the basket.

    116

    Elisabeth perched on the arm of the sofa next to Sarah.

    117

    Elisabeth picked up her knife and started carving again.

    118

    Elisabeth pinched his cheeks.

    119

    Elisabeth piped in, You can take all you want from me.

    120

    Elisabeth pointed to the corner.

    121

    Elisabeth polished off her lunch quickly, then Jackson removed the tray and asked, "Now what would you like to do?"

    122

    Elisabeth pulled back see his eyes; they were tortured.

    123

    Elisabeth pulled into the drive at three minutes to six.

    124

    Elisabeth pursed her lips.

    125

    Elisabeth put her hands on either side of his face.

    126

    Elisabeth put her knife down and touched his hand.

    127

    Elisabeth quipped, "A little over the top for a picnic, wouldn't you say?"

    128

    Elisabeth raised both eyebrows and laughed.

    129

    Elisabeth raised her glass.

    130

    Elisabeth read his face and smiled.

    131

    Elisabeth related their story starting with the night they met straight through yesterday.

    132

    Elisabeth rolled her eyes again.

    133

    Elisabeth rolled her eyes.

    134

    Elisabeth rose to her knees and gazed at Jackson, then to Sarah and Connor, shaking her head.

    135

    Elisabeth rubbed her eyes and yawned, "Let's not go there tonight."

    136

    Elisabeth rushed to the stairs.

    137

    Elisabeth said, "I made sure he was safe in the holding cell, and assured him he needn't worry."

    138

    Elisabeth said, "I'm fine," while pointing to Jackson.

    139

    Elisabeth said, The car is more for Connor, so we decided to get you a little something of your own.

    140

    Elisabeth said, You shouldn't pout.

    141

    Elisabeth sat next to Jackson.

    142

    Elisabeth sat on a bench with her back to him.

    143

    Elisabeth sat up when he brought in the coffee.

    144

    Elisabeth sat up, "The caterer."

    145

    Elisabeth sat with Jackson's head in her lap, her tears dropping on his face.

    146

    Elisabeth scanned the room again.

    147

    Elisabeth searched his eyes for the reason.

    148

    Elisabeth seemed amused by the whole scene.

    149

    Elisabeth seemed to sense his unease.

    150

    Elisabeth shook her as she spat, "You better put a leash on this one."

    151

    Elisabeth shook her head.

    152

    Elisabeth shot him a warning stare.

    153

    Elisabeth sighed, "Jackson behaved very irresponsibly and he is lucky to be sitting here today."

    154

    Elisabeth sighed, "Samantha thinks you may be right about the whole protection thing."

    155

    Elisabeth slapped his arm.

    156

    Elisabeth slowly stood, leaned into him with her whole body, put her lips to his ear, and nibbled softly on his earlobe.

    157

    Elisabeth smiled as she placed her hand on his shoulder.

    158

    Elisabeth spoke first, I am so sorry for all I have put you through.

    159

    Elisabeth stared at him, wide eyed and shaking.

    160

    Elisabeth stared straight ahead with wide eyes for a long while.

    161

    Elisabeth stared straight ahead, then picked up her cell phone and walked out of the kitchen.

    162

    Elisabeth started drawing as Jackson cleaned the seeds to bake them.

    163

    Elisabeth started to weep softly, and tears welled in Jackson's eyes.

    164

    Elisabeth started towards her.

    165

    Elisabeth stirred then lifted her head, watching him.

    166

    Elisabeth stood and approached him.

    167

    Elisabeth stood at the piano which did nothing to allay his anxiety.

    168

    Elisabeth stood behind Jackson, and held her hands on his shoulders.

    169

    Elisabeth stood behind the sofa, rubbing Jackson's shoulders and neck.

    170

    Elisabeth stood up, but Jackson held her arm.

    171

    Elisabeth stood, hugging herself.

    172

    Elisabeth stood, transfixed on the brilliant vista.

    173

    Elisabeth strolled in from the kitchen, seemingly oblivious to situation.

    174

    Elisabeth struggled to climb onto the sofa.

    175

    Elisabeth suggested they go out to dinner.

    176

    Elisabeth tells me you are quite an accomplished musician.

    177

    Elisabeth threw a pillow at his head as he ducked through the doorway.

    178

    Elisabeth threw her arms around him.

    179

    Elisabeth threw her head back laughing as he buried his face in her neck.

    180

    Elisabeth threw her head back laughing.

    181

    Elisabeth told her about Sarah and how they would never hear the end of it if she knew what had happened here.

    182

    Elisabeth took a step back and looked at him quizzically.

    183

    Elisabeth touched his face.

    184

    Elisabeth tried to make small talk, however, Jackson couldn't think straight.

    185

    Elisabeth turned her attention straight ahead again.

    186

    Elisabeth turned her head to expose her neck.

    187

    Elisabeth turned the page of her magazine.

    188

    Elisabeth turned to him.

    189

    Elisabeth walked him to his car as Miriam watched from the window.

    190

    Elisabeth was born in May 2001 and John was born in June 2004.

    191

    Elisabeth was falling apart, and he tried desperately to wrap his head around what had happened.

    192

    Elisabeth was found in 1876 a fine mosaic in black on a white ground representing Orpheus in the midst of the beasts (Notizie degli scavi, 1876,181; 1877 309).

    193

    Elisabeth was in a whirlwind for the first hour or so.

    194

    Elisabeth was putting her shoes on as he entered.

    195

    Elisabeth was setting up to work in her studio as Jackson stood in the doorway, arms crossed, watching her.

    196

    Elisabeth was stoic, always holding her feelings close; and Emily was the effervescent, impulsive optimist.

    197

    Elisabeth woke before Jackson, and decided to bring him breakfast for a change.

    198

    Elisabeth won the game and when they finished Sarah and Connor said goodnight.

    199

    Elisabeth wondered whether he meant that she liked cars or that she could whistle like a guy.

    200

    Elisabeth would close her eyes to make a wish.

    201

    Elisabeth would not wake up alone today.

    202

    Elisabeth yelled from the kitchen, "Sit down, shut up and keep your hands to yourself."

    203

    Elisabeth, can you tell us about this oil?

    204

    Elisabeth, does your pack know about this hottie?

    205

    Elisabeth, I have no idea how our relationship will weather this.

    206

    Elisabeth, I'm sorry for what I said to you in the woods.

    207

    Elisabeth, in wolf form, stood scratching at the door, whimpering.

    208

    Elisabeth, Sarah needs to see you, excuse us.

    209

    Elisabeth, what kind of car do you drive?

    210

    Elisabeth's art moved him deeply, much as his music did.

    211

    Elisabeth's blood was a lighter red, and for a moment the two swirled together in a dance of sorts, then all of a sudden started to bubble and burst into flame.

    212

    Elisabeth's blush rose immediately.

    213

    Elisabeth's body began to move under the duvet, as if she were stretching.

    214

    Elisabeth's coming for dinner!

    215

    Elisabeth's discomfort was evident.

    216

    Elisabeth's eyes flitted from Jackson to the ring then back again.

    217

    Elisabeth's little sister would have reacted exactly the same way to her sister's engagement.

    218

    Elisabeth's sigh of contentment rippled across the nape of his neck.

    219

    Elisabeth's voice sang full and rich.

    220

    Even while driving the redhead home, he could not get Elisabeth out of his head.

    221

    Feuillet des Conches Louis X VI., Marie Antoinette et Madame Elisabeth, lettres et documents inedits (6 vols., Paris, 1864-1873), while most of the works on Marie Antoinette published before the appearance of Arneth's publications (1865, &c.) are based partly on these forgeries.

    222

    Finally Elisabeth said, "Our port is here." and pulled away.

    223

    From her travels and sojourns in several countries, Elisabeth has gleaned an immense knowledge of Mediterranean cuisine.

    224

    Have you seen Elisabeth?

    225

    He and Sarah could hold their own, but Elisabeth would be vulnerable, and Victor could kill Connor without blinking.

    226

    He can't kill Elisabeth, right?

    227

    He considered fighting the hunger, not wanting to disturb Elisabeth who slept soundly with her head on his chest.

    228

    He didn't care much for birthdays, yet somehow Elisabeth leaving tonight bothered him.

    229

    He didn't look at Elisabeth until the end of the piece.

    230

    He didn't want to keep anything from Elisabeth, yet felt unable to explain his past.

    231

    He didn't want to let go, but Elisabeth pulled away.

    232

    He doubted Samantha would have any information that would help, but felt they had nothing to lose and was eager to meet Elisabeth's best friend.

    233

    He entered the dining room where Jackson stood polishing silver and Elisabeth made up floral arrangements.

    234

    He felt both enchanted and tortured by the heady mix of Elisabeth Sidwell, "God's Promise."

    235

    He flipped her off and followed Elisabeth.

    236

    He gazed out at the trees remembering Mount Greylock, how mesmerized Elisabeth seemed by the view and how connected he felt to her then.

    237

    He glanced back to Elisabeth.

    238

    He had become so accustomed to Elisabeth's warmth, the bed only served to spotlight the cold vacancy.

    239

    He had not realized until this moment how important it was that Sarah and Elisabeth like each other.

    240

    He heard the door close, then Elisabeth in the kitchen, making breakfast.

    241

    He held up Elisabeth's finger, "THIS happened to me."

    242

    He is composing something for Elisabeth.

    243

    He knew she really wanted to tell him everything she had learned about Elisabeth, which was probably a great deal.

    244

    He lay on the sofa with his head in Elisabeth's lap.

    245

    He leered at Elisabeth, arched his eyebrows with a lascivious grin, then stretched with great exaggeration.

    246

    He longed to share his music with Elisabeth, yet worried she might not appreciate it; think it boring.

    247

    He looked at Elisabeth who laughed and shooed them.

    248

    He looked at the wall where Elisabeth's painting should be and saw empty space with spattered blood around it.

    249

    He married in 1602 a lady of some property, Elisabeth von Valkenburg, and thenceforward lived at Grypskerke in Zeeland, where he devoted himself to farming and poetry.

    250

    He must have nodded off again, because when he opened his eyes, Elisabeth's human form lay sleeping with her head in his lap.

    251

    He paused for a moment before continuing, Elisabeth, I used to believe living an eternity would be more than I could endure.

    252

    He pointed to Elisabeth.

    253

    He regarded Sarah then Elisabeth, shaking his head slowly.

    254

    He sat up in bed a long time picturing Elisabeth as she created the oil.

    255

    He shot daggers at her as Elisabeth said, "I would love to."

    256

    He smiled thinly, still staring at Elisabeth.

    257

    He smiled, thinking what a wonderful mother Elisabeth would be, yet he could never give that to her.

    258

    He squinted accusingly at Elisabeth.

    259

    He stepped behind Elisabeth's stool, placed his hands on her shoulders, and kissed the top of her head.

    260

    He still had on the same clothes he wore with Elisabeth.

    261

    He stood and took Elisabeth's hand.

    262

    He stood outside Elisabeth's house for a minute, took a deep breath and rang the bell.

    263

    He stood, scrutinizing Elisabeth's painting, wondering how any of this could be real.

    264

    He struggled, resisting the temptation to go to Elisabeth's.

    265

    He suggested, "Why don't I drive you to Elisabeth's."

    266

    He then hurried to Elisabeth who was already sitting up straight.

    267

    He thought of Elisabeth constantly, having to resist the urge to call her or just show up.

    268

    He took her hand, and as they climbed the stairs, Elisabeth asked, "Are you all right?"

    269

    He wanted to curse Elisabeth and blame her for the whole mess, though he knew it was entirely his fault.

    270

    He was at Elisabeth's side before anyone realized, and tore the needle from her arm.

    271

    He was determined not to waste a single minute of his time with Elisabeth.

    272

    He was really more concerned about explaining things to Elisabeth than anything else.

    273

    He was so tuned in to Elisabeth's voice, that just by scanning a piece of music, he knew where to change the composition to compliment her, and where to back off to let her shine.

    274

    He wasn't sure he would be able to hide his unease alone with Elisabeth.

    275

    Hey, what would you think about turning one of the south facing bedrooms into a studio for Elisabeth.

    276

    Hi, Elisabeth, remember me?

    277

    His biography, by his sister, Elisabeth Forster-Nietzsche (Das Leben Friedrich Nietzsches, 1895 ff.), reached its third volume in 1907.

    278

    His grandfather had been a baker in the village of Bittenfeld, near Waiblingen; his father, Johann Kaspar (1723-1796), was an army-surgeon, who had settled in Marbach and married the daughter of an innkeeper, Elisabeth Dorothea Kodweis (1732-1802).

    279

    His marriage with Elisabeth Christine, daughter of Duke Charles of Brunswick, contracted in 1765, was dissolved in 1769, and he soon afterwards married Frederika Louisa, daughter of the land grave Louis IX.

    280

    His mother, Elisabeth Santi-Lomaca, whose sister was grandmother of Louis Adolphe Thiers, was a Greek.

    281

    Hmmm, I think the first thing we need to do is see what your blood does to Elisabeth's.

    282

    How'd it go with Elisabeth?

    283

    However, he was confident that Elisabeth cared for him, and for now, that would be enough.

    284

    I don't want Elisabeth to have to choose between her family and me.

    285

    I plan to tell Elisabeth that I am a vampire.

    286

    I should really be thanking you, Jackson, for leading me to the lovely Elisabeth.

    287

    I think we should concentrate on this Elisabeth.

    288

    I want you to try to influence Elisabeth.

    289

    I went to see Elisabeth today.

    290

    I would raise Elisabeth's child.

    291

    I'm going to see Elisabeth.

    292

    I'm spending the day with Elisabeth tomorrow.

    293

    I've just come from the park where I met Elisabeth Sidwell.

    294

    If he only had some assurance Elisabeth would accept his vampirism.

    295

    If it comes to that no one will win, least of all Elisabeth.

    296

    In 1713 he married Louise Elisabeth (1693-1775), daughter of Louis Henri de Bourbon, prince de Conde, and grand-daughter of Louis XIV.

    297

    In 1742 he acquired, as a consolation for the public career he had missed, the title of kaiserlicher Rat, and in 1748 married Katharina Elisabeth (1731-1808), daughter of the Schultheiss or Biirgermeister of Frankfort, Johann Wolfgang Textor.

    298

    In 1846 he married Elisabeth Klein, and his appointment to a professorship in Berlin University in the following August afforded him the leisure necessary for the completion of his work.

    299

    In the kitchen Elisabeth teased, "Seems you have an admirer out there."

    300

    In the middle, Elisabeth sat in a metal chair, barely conscious.

    301

    It had been five days since Elisabeth.

    302

    It was midnight when Elisabeth checked the clock.

    303

    It's Elisabeth, everything about her except she's a wolf.

    304

    Jackson and Elisabeth led the newlyweds outside as Jackson explained, This is a little late.

    305

    Jackson and Elisabeth left the party for a walk to Coronet Park.

    306

    Jackson and Elisabeth resumed carving.

    307

    Jackson and Elisabeth sat on the sofa.

    308

    Jackson and Elisabeth spent many evenings outdoors lying on the frigid ground, stargazing, pointing out the constellations, and anticipating the occasional falling star.

    309

    Jackson and Elisabeth took turns sitting with Sarah; she seemed to be reconciling herself to their new reality.

    310

    Jackson and Elisabeth worked on the pumpkins, mostly in silence.

    311

    Jackson asked, "So, do you think my inability to feed on Elisabeth is for her protection?"

    312

    Jackson asked, "What's this about Elisabeth's blood making you two stronger?"

    313

    Jackson began ripping down the sheets and knocking over the partitions as he yelled for Elisabeth.

    314

    Jackson brushed the back of his hand down Elisabeth's cheek.

    315

    Jackson closed his eyes, fearing his heart held nothing Elisabeth would desire.

    316

    Jackson continued to scream Elisabeth's name with abject terror as she struggled to raise her head.

    317

    Jackson could feel Elisabeth's anguish, and tried unsuccessfully to hide his own.

    318

    Jackson drank deeply and enjoyed his venom coursing through Elisabeth, eliciting wave after wave of euphoria.

    319

    Jackson drew Elisabeth close, burying his nose in her hair.

    320

    Jackson drove for a while before heading to Elisabeth's.

    321

    Jackson gave Elisabeth an 'I told you so' smirk, then blew her a kiss.

    322

    Jackson grabbed Connor's shoulders, held his eyes and ordered, "Get Elisabeth and lock yourselves in the holding room, now."

    323

    Jackson grilled steaks for dinner, and when they were through cleaning up, Elisabeth said, "I better get down there."

    324

    Jackson had hoped to make plans with Elisabeth, but he couldn't very well ask her over and say, "Don't mind the steel shutters on all the windows."

    325

    Jackson had not allowed himself to reflect on his relationship with Elisabeth prior to learning her secret, but now he let the memories rush in and in doing so, found some peace.

    326

    Jackson had planned to propose to Elisabeth in Coronet Park after the first snowstorm, but if Miriam wanted to take part he would not deny her.

    327

    Jackson head still rested on Elisabeth's lap.

    328

    Jackson heard Elisabeth say, "Ouch. Oh no, I cut myself."

    329

    Jackson heard Elisabeth's car pull up and hurried out to meet her.

    330

    Jackson held Elisabeth's finger and bellowed, "Sarah, get in here, now!"

    331

    Jackson left Elisabeth sleeping in the morning.

    332

    Jackson met Elisabeth midway down the walk.

    333

    Jackson noted the two cars and held Elisabeth back a bit, whispering, "Does this mean I won't have to spend another interminable night in an empty bed?"

    334

    Jackson noticed Elisabeth seemed lighter and more at ease than he had ever seen her.

    335

    Jackson noticed heaviness in Elisabeth's eyes, so took her hands.

    336

    Jackson noticed the Lothario from the opening dressed as a vampire make a beeline toward Elisabeth.

    337

    Jackson pleaded, It's Elisabeth.

    338

    Jackson prepared lunch for Elisabeth and brought a tray up.

    339

    Jackson pulled Elisabeth to him and kissed her temple.

    340

    Jackson realized that she couldn't know what Elisabeth looked like as a wolf.

    341

    Jackson rose from the piano and whispered to Elisabeth, "I'm going to take care of this once and for all."

    342

    Jackson said, "Elisabeth and I are going out to dinner if you want to join us."

    343

    Jackson sat and draped his arm around Elisabeth.

    344

    Jackson screamed, "Elisabeth!" and ran toward her.

    345

    Jackson snaked his arm around Elisabeth.

    346

    Jackson spoke to the vocalist, then stood at the edge of the dance floor and motioned for Elisabeth to join him.

    347

    Jackson stared at Elisabeth, who still avoided eye contact.

    348

    Jackson stood close enough to hear the conversation, and as soon as the moron committed to buy a watercolor; he approached Elisabeth, put his arms around her and said, Darling, the caterer needs to see you for a minute.

    349

    Jackson stopped by the art supply store on the way home to purchase supplies for Elisabeth.

    350

    Jackson thought, Does she want Elisabeth to taste my blood?

    351

    Jackson walked Elisabeth to her car after his birthday dinner.

    352

    Jackson wandered around the studio while waiting for Elisabeth to pack.

    353

    Jackson was pulling seeds when he heard Elisabeth, "Ouch. Oh no, I cut myself."

    354

    Jackson was speaking with some rich blowhard when he noticed Elisabeth make her way to Connor and Sarah.

    355

    Jackson wondered if Elisabeth had made her mother aware that Sarah didn't know about the diamond.

    356

    Jackson wore a wide grin as Elisabeth said, I don't know what I will do about the Wolf Moon Festival.

    357

    Jackson worried Elisabeth would miss her family, but she assured him that Christmas was not nearly as important as The Wolf Moon.

    358

    Jackson would have no difficulty restraining Elisabeth.

    359

    Jackson's anger stemmed more from the fact that he wanted to ask about Elisabeth's frame of mind, rather than from Sarah going behind his back.

    360

    Jesus, Elisabeth, I don't understand.

    361

    Kissing had always been merely a means to an end for him, but not with Elisabeth.

    362

    Many of the partygoers had been to Elisabeth's opening, and wanted to convey how much they were enjoying her artwork.

    363

    Maybe Sarah was right and he should give Elisabeth a chance to explain why she let this happen.

    364

    Miriam said, "I'm sure you are aware that Elisabeth has special gifts."

    365

    Miriam seemed as impressed by the artwork and decor as Elisabeth had been.

    366

    Most of the students seemed genuinely interested in Elisabeth's presentation.

    367

    My name is Elisabeth Sidwell.

    368

    My name is Elisabeth.

    369

    Nearing Elisabeth's house, his anticipation grew.

    370

    Nikolai trotted after them and backed up to the sofa between Jackson and Elisabeth.

    371

    No, Elisabeth gets that from her father.

    372

    No, I'm hoping you can arrange a meeting for me with Elisabeth's mother.

    373

    Normally he wouldn't go more than a few hours without thinking about his next meal, but Elisabeth filled his thoughts so completely, there was no room for anything else.

    374

    On Wednesday, he was in his music room playing, when Elisabeth called.

    375

    Once Elisabeth had composed herself, she asked, "What else do you want to know?"

    376

    Once the bags were all filled Sarah removed the needle from Elisabeth's arm.

    377

    Once they had settled on October 12th for the wedding, and decided to use the same caterer they used for the Halloween gala, Elisabeth suggested they give it a rest until after Christmas.

    378

    Once they reached the highway, Elisabeth opened her laptop.

    379

    Once they were gone, Elisabeth began to pace.

    380

    Perhaps for you, but do you honestly think it is for Elisabeth?

    381

    Perhaps when it came to Elisabeth, there existed a higher standard.

    382

    Peter Mandelson, who can veto or approve the takeover, is a friend of Elisabeth Murdoch.

    383

    Really Elisabeth, that's one of your favorites.

    384

    Sarah and Connor sat down, but Elisabeth stood at the piano.

    385

    Sarah and Connor sat in the drawing room when Elisabeth was ready to leave.

    386

    Sarah broke in, "Elisabeth has been telling us about your visit to New Orleans, as well."

    387

    Sarah brought Elisabeth up to speed about the Halloween gala and asked if she would like to help plan it.

    388

    Sarah crouched to the floor and timidly put her hand into Elisabeth's fur.

    389

    Sarah floated into the room as Jackson took Elisabeth's coat.

    390

    Sarah had asked Elisabeth to help with pies, so they spent the better part of the day in the kitchen.

    391

    Sarah met them at the door and introduced herself, then turned to Elisabeth and grabbed her hand, Ahhhh!

    392

    Sarah moved to sit next to Elisabeth.

    393

    Sarah piped in, "When is your birthday Elisabeth?"

    394

    Sarah remained immobile as Elisabeth snarled, "I don't believe you and your friend were invited."

    395

    Sarah said, Your mother is lovely Elisabeth.

    396

    Sarah sat in the drawing room sipping coffee when Jackson and Elisabeth were ready to leave.

    397

    Sarah set Elisabeth up on the sofa and started a line to draw her blood, then she and Connor went down to clean up the holding cell.

    398

    Sarah told Jackson she didn't see how she would be able to get Elisabeth's attention long enough to influence her.

    399

    Sarah was asking Elisabeth about her art when she stopped mid-sentence, spotting her feet.

    400

    Sarah was determined to finish it before Elisabeth left for the full moon.

    401

    Sarah yelled, "Jackson!" then glared at Elisabeth as if to say, 'Do something about him'.

    402

    Sarah yelled, Bring Elisabeth for dinner on Saturday.

    403

    Seven bridges, including the famous Chain and Elisabeth Bridges, connect ancient Buda on the right bank with Pest on the left.

    404

    She asked Elisabeth if she had a date and venue in mind yet.

    405

    She crunched up her face, then used her index finger to wipe Elisabeth's thumb.

    406

    She did turn to him and the face was Elisabeth's.

    407

    She grabbed his shoulders, gyrated a bit and squealed, No, Jackson and Elisabeth are.

    408

    She had been planning to pay Elisabeth a surprise visit before the November full moon anyway.

    409

    She insisted on meeting at a public place, so Jackson suggested a bar near Elisabeth's house.

    410

    She lay down on the sofa, and they gazed into each other's eyes for a while, then Elisabeth turned away.

    411

    She never even glanced at Elisabeth as she shook her hand.

    412

    She opened the back door and in bounded a large Borzoi who rushed to Elisabeth and stood on his hind feet, resting his front legs on her shoulders, and then licked her face.

    413

    She placed the platter in front of Elisabeth, whose nose already sniffed the air.

    414

    She put it in front of Elisabeth, and with some effort, the wolf rose to drink from it.

    415

    She started transferring the blood to bottles and marking them with Elisabeth's name, then poured some into a glass for Connor.

    416

    She then turned and sauntered towards Victor, not a hint of fear in her carriage "Hello, Victor" His greeting was returned with a hiss, "Elisabeth!"

    417

    She turned back to Elisabeth.

    418

    She worried that Elisabeth might get hurt.

    419

    She would have liked Elisabeth as much as Sarah did.

    420

    Since he still wasn't thinking clearly, Jackson let Elisabeth field this one.

    421

    Since learning that Elisabeth regenerated blood faster than it could be drained, he didn't buy the protection theory anymore, and was convinced this was some kind of well-deserved penance.

    422

    Sitting cross legged, Elisabeth held Jackson's hand in her lap, gazing at his face.

    423

    Sneering at Jackson in disgust, Victor stood in front of Elisabeth and began hitting her, first with open hand and then backhand, sending her head flailing from side to side.

    424

    So, Elisabeth gets her musical talent from you.

    425

    Some of us have superior strength, but Elisabeth and her father are the only two who can regenerate blood immediately.

    426

    Something Elisabeth wouldn't want me to share, but I believe you need to know.

    427

    Spinning in a pirouette, Elisabeth asked, "What do you think?"

    428

    Thank you so much Elisabeth, I love it!

    429

    That evening, Jackson and Elisabeth stayed up late as they had for the previous full moon, neither wanting to waste precious time together sleeping.

    430

    The day of Jackson's birthday, Sarah and Elisabeth grocery shopped together.

    431

    The Empress Elisabeth, however, when asked what instructions she would be pleased to give--with her characteristic Russian patriotism had replied that she could give no directions about state institutions for that was the affair of the sovereign, but as far as she personally was concerned she would be the last to quit Petersburg.

    432

    The following day, Sarah and Elisabeth went to work on the studio with a vengeance.

    433

    The fur was the exact color of Elisabeth's hair in his dream.

    434

    The groups of boys stopped upon seeing Elisabeth and elbowed each other.

    435

    The jerk had hold of Elisabeth's arm.

    436

    The last thing he wanted was to be lusting for blood while with Elisabeth.

    437

    The one saving grace was that Elisabeth lay sound asleep, unable to witness his distress.

    438

    The other three were sitting with their drinks and his sat on the table in front of Elisabeth.

    439

    The room was smaller than her studio at home, yet Elisabeth felt it was more inspiring, with the coffered ceiling and wainscoting.

    440

    The royal party included, beside the king and queen, their daughter Marie Therese Charlotte (Madame Royale), the king's sister Madame Elisabeth, the valet Clery and others.

    441

    The sadness of never seeing Elisabeth as a wolf again hung over him.

    442

    The scream that came through made Elisabeth pull the phone away from her ear.

    443

    The sound of a car door, and then an engine starting jarred him into realizing Elisabeth must have stayed in the woods all this time.

    444

    The vampires sat with their blood and Elisabeth poured another glass of port.

    445

    The video camera sat on the counter, and as Sarah made up a plate for Elisabeth, Jackson grabbed it.

    446

    The wolf's heartbeat matched the rhythm of Elisabeth's.

    447

    The wolf's were Elisabeth's, and he felt the familiar jolt he always had from her.

    448

    The women delved into small talk, and as Jackson turned, he noticed Connor standing stone still in the middle of the room, staring at Elisabeth.

    449

    Then he called to Elisabeth, "Come meet your competition for my affection."

    450

    Then she turned to Elisabeth and repeated the process.

    451

    These fortifications, starting from the river, followed the line of the present Elisabeth Street, the Pfikopy or Graben - which therefrom derives its name, signifying ditch or trench - and then that of the Ovocna and Ferdinandova.

    452

    They brought a wing chair from the living room into the studio, and Elisabeth positioned him sitting back with one ankle on the other knee, his hands resting on the arms of the chair.

    453

    They dressed and Elisabeth handed him the folder.

    454

    They drove in silence while Elisabeth worked on her presentation.

    455

    They finished one day before the full moon, and all stood admiring their accomplishment as Elisabeth said, I'm going to do some great work here.

    456

    They joined Sarah and Connor in the drawing room and related how far Elisabeth had run.

    457

    They said their goodbyes, and then Jackson and Elisabeth walked to the stable.

    458

    They seemed so easy with each other and she had never seen Elisabeth this happy.

    459

    They were quiet for a long time until Elisabeth propped up on her elbow, tracing his jaw line with her finger.

    460

    To sing this, Elisabeth would have had to be classically trained, and she would need to sing the highest end of her range if she was indeed a mezzo-soprano.

    461

    To the second volume he appended a critical study on Marie Antoinette et Louis XVI apocryphes, in which he proved, by evidence drawn from documents in the private archives of the emperor of Austria, that the letters published by Feuillet de Conches (Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette et Madame Elisabeth, 1864-1873) and Hunolstein (Corresp. inedite de Marie Antoinette, 1864) are forgeries.

    462

    Understanding they were for Elisabeth's protection comforted him.

    463

    Upon hearing a truck pull up, Elisabeth jumped.

    464

    Upon seeing Elisabeth sound asleep, she leaned close.

    465

    Victor backhanded Elisabeth one last time and growled, "That's more like it."

    466

    Victor grabbed the IV and Elisabeth's wrist.

    467

    Vigee-Lebrun, Marie-Anne Elisabeth (1755-1842), French painter, was born in Paris, the daughter of a painter, from whom she received her first instruction, though she benefited more by the advice of Doyen, Greuze, Joseph Vernet and other masters of the period.

    468

    Walking through the woods near the house, Elisabeth pulled Jackson's arm.

    469

    We can decide when Elisabeth gets home.

    470

    We didn't want to upset you, but Elisabeth's blood has strengthened both of us.

    471

    We had such a fun time at Elisabeth's and when we got home we had a nightcap and went up to bed and, well, you know...When we were done, we talked for a while and then he asked me.

    472

    We're going to get Jackson to play for Elisabeth.

    473

    Well, I also see where Elisabeth gets her scathing wit.

    474

    Well, I had a great time, but Elisabeth isn't too happy with the outcome.

    475

    Well, I thought maybe I would wait until the next full moon, then find Elisabeth and let her rip out what's left of my guts.

    476

    Well, it's just with Elisabeth.

    477

    When Elisabeth entered the studio with her bag, Jackson took her hand.

    478

    When Elisabeth finished dinner, Jackson bowed with a flourish.

    479

    When Elisabeth opened the door and he laid eyes on her, all conflicted thoughts were replaced with raw emotion.

    480

    When Elisabeth shimmied through the doorway, he gasped.

    481

    When Elisabeth woke, Jackson was propped on his elbow watching her.

    482

    When he arrived home, Jackson was concentrating on all he needed to do and contemplating how he would break the news to Elisabeth.

    483

    When he arrived, Elisabeth was just about ready to leave for Fairhaven.

    484

    When Sarah and Connor entered the drawing room, Jackson and Elisabeth were sitting on the sofa reading.

    485

    When singing, Elisabeth chose music that expressed her feelings for Jackson.

    486

    When the last box was filled with plates, he contemplated whether to wake Elisabeth or not.

    487

    When they entered his room, Elisabeth held Jackson's arms.

    488

    When they entered the kitchen, Sarah ran to Elisabeth and drew her into a bear hug.

    489

    When they neared the bed, Elisabeth squinted.

    490

    When they reached Jackson's room, Elisabeth noticed her artwork and asked, "Where's the fall scene?"

    491

    When they returned home Elisabeth said, I'm afraid we're going to have to eat early.

    492

    When they returned, Elisabeth said, It's such a beautiful day.

    493

    With her lips touching his ear, Elisabeth whispered, "I don't know how to live without you."

    494

    With your blessing, I plan to ask Elisabeth to marry me.

    495

    Would he try to drug them as he had Elisabeth?

    496

    Wouldn't you like to hear him Elisabeth?

    497

    Yes Elisabeth, do tell.

    498

    You are amazing, Elisabeth.

    499

    You are in no position to be making demands; besides, Elisabeth doesn't feel like talking right now.

    500

    You can't even feed on Elisabeth and you're still not hunting.
