Her face, which had been wan and listless an instant before, was now glowing, while her rare, lovely smile irradiated her features.

Excerpt: ...woman in the world, you know." "He does? How very sweet of him!" exclaimed Angelica, turning in the doorway, and throwing an animated glance back into the room. Her face, which had been wan and listless an instant before, was now glowing, while her rare, lovely smile irradiated her features.

"I asked Miss Meade, too, but she didn't tell me either." "Now, I should have thought better of Miss Meade." As Blackburn lifted his face, it looked young and boyish. "Is it possible that she is capable of an evasion?" "What does that word mean, father?" "It means everything, my daughter, that Miss Meade is not." "You oughtn't to tease the child, David," said Mrs. Timberlake. "She is so easily excited."
