Heavily armed was every man, each, even the lieutenant, with carbine and brace of Colts, and on they rode through the still, soft night air, chatting in low tones, no man knowing but every one believing that the taciturn, blue-eyed young officer in the lead was heading them for a lair of the Birdsall gang. It was too far south just then for Sioux.
Dade he had come to accept as a man whose innate kindliness, which was as much a part of him as the blood in his veins, wiped out any stain of alien birth; but this blue-eyed one "The señor himself is perhaps a judge of riatas?" he insinuated, politely veiling the quick jealousy of his nature.
Slender goldenrod girls and blue-eyed aster children, trooping along the fields and over the hills, holding up the train of summer as she walks so sedately, think him adorable. If summer stops but for a moment I see them slipping slyly into his arms, laying golden heads on his drab waistcoat and gazing with wonder-blue eyes at his coruscating gems.
Her laughter was irrepressible. In a trice the precedents of years were gone. Nora felt the empire of her dignity slipping away, but none the less could not repress her mirth.

But this is a different matter altogether.
She was a little hurt that Lena had not been accompanied by the blue-eyed article with preposterously long eyelashes that had been bestowed on her at the Goyle; but the little Australian had no opinion of dolls, and had let the one bought for her at Sydney be thrown overboard by the ship's monkey. "That was cruel!" said Lily, fondling her black-eyed specimen.
I must have a peep at this blue-eyed fairy for myself. Any go to her?" "Not much," and Dotty smiled. "Dolly's a perfect dear, but she's slow." "All right, we'll have to hurry her along a little. When does her brother come home? Have you ever seen him? What's he like?" "He's coming day after to-morrow. No, I've never seen him, but Dolly thinks he just about made the world."
