"I know she died in peace, remembering that I was left to thy care." "I mind me," she continued after a little silence, "how tender and frail she was. Thou wast as a strong tree beside her.

Hortense was now a year behind, but resented the rather superior airs of some of her old classmates so effectively that she got down to business, made up her back work, and graduated reasonably well up in her entrance class. Of light build, and always frail in appearance, she did commendable work in school athletics.
The living have plaited them thousands of little ships of straw, each provisioned with some fruit and a few pieces of money.

But after Em was gone Lyndall sat on, watching the old crone's face in the corner, and with a weary look, as though the whole world's weight rested on these frail young shoulders.
The conversation fell. Then realizing that he was compromising his chances, he said "How can I marry you? I haven't a cent in the world." "I am not sure I would marry you if you had every cent in the world." Mike looked at her in despair. She was adorably frail and adorably pale.
