"I wish I could do anything to help him to succeed," thought Joe, in the innocent generosity of her half-conscious devotion.
Her thoughts, like a fascinated moth, went fluttering toward that light that man that girl, who had known war, danger, seen death near, had obtained evidently the devotion of that man. The occurrences of the afternoon had been strange in themselves, but what struck her artistic sense was the vigour of their presentation.
But Geoff's question echoed in Lady Markland's mind after the child had forgotten it and was fast asleep; "How could you and me be kind?" How was she to repay Theo for a devotion so great? It was like the devotion of a knight in the times of chivalry. She had said both to herself and others, many times, how kind he was, how could she ever repay him? like a brother.
This general interest in the Alps is a testimony to man's admiration of the grandest work of God within reach, and to his continued devotion to physical hardihood in the midst of the enervating influences of civilization. There is one place in the world devoted by divine decree to pure air. You are obliged to use it.

Why, Magdalen! we may have all this for one another devotion, tenderness, confidence even more than in times past; for, on a thousand occasions, your secret inspired you with fear and suspicion while, for the future, on the contrary, you will see me take such delight in the place I fill in your good and valiant heart, that you will be happy in the happiness you bestow.
But, however this may have been, nothing can lessen the glory of the six grave and patient men who went forth, by their own free will, to meet what might be a cruel and disgraceful death, in order to obtain the safety of their fellow- townsmen. Very recently, in the summer of 1864, an instance has occurred of self- devotion worthy to be recorded with that of Eustache de St. Pierre.
He is a man whom we can neither understand nor judge in the times we live in, but he is surely a great man, a man of mark. What observations does the author make on the difference between East and West? As a spectator, what things would you find most interesting in the scene? Do you know why the author calls the Sultan's palace impenetrable? His devotion surpassed the devotion of woman.
They prudishly despised the anatomic study of the human figure, of landscape and chiaroscuro.
