At early dawn I visited the stable and found John disgusted beyond measure with my bargain.
"She is young and lovely, gentle and a lady, you have her 'all solid, and she can't 'escape'; that's the end, of course. But if I were you, I wouldn't have her until I gave her a chance to get away, and saw whether she would if she could." "Oh I am not a jailer," said the Harvester. "She shall be free if I cannot make her love me; but I can, and I will; I swear it."
"I must not," answered the Master of Ravenswood, "challenge the freedom of speech in which I have set example.

He was an oldish man, quiet and gentle in his ways and speech; tiny wrinkles spread out fanwise from the corners of his eyes, like the traces of a thousand kindly smiles.

Could we leave the well just for a little, and come round and look at the garden wall?
"Well, let's come and look at pictures. And I can't imagine nothingness, can you? We might have lunch out somewhere, if you don't mind."

What man that had a heart in his breast could listen unmoved to words like these, or look without emotion upon one so beautiful, so gentle, and so tender?
