From this speculation, the sweet voice aroused him. "You have told me who you are. Now, do you know who I am?" "I hope so, fairest Leoline.

Goodrich, followed by his son, hurried from the dining-room and ran upstairs. The door of Amy's apartment was open, and just inside prone upon the floor, lay Mrs. Goodrich, holding in her hand a piece of paper. Adam, with the help of his son, lifted his wife and laid her upon the bed, which they noticed had not been occupied.
Sir George White has, from humane motives, yielded points to his adversary which most of us would have thought worth fighting for, but he is every inch a gallant soldier, as we who have watched him under heavy fire all know full well, and nobody here needs to be assured that he will never surrender Ladysmith or abandon its stubborn defence as long as there is any reason for holding it.

There was a little group round them by this time, men generally collected wherever Beau Lovelace aired his opinions, and a double attraction drew them together now in the person of the lovely woman to whom he was holding forth. Marcia Van Clupp stared mightily surely the Norwegian peasant would not understand Beau's similes, for they were certainly incomprehensible to Marcia.

They are very light in color, much more so than their cousins found higher up in the mountains, and locally they are called ibex, or white goats.
