There was something in the curves of her shoulders, in her pink-and-white cotton waist, that made one's fingers tingle, and heart yearn, and there was an appealing look in her face which made him smile indulgently at her as he might have done at a child. After all, it was probably not her fault about the lamp, and lamps were a minor consideration, and he was finical, but suppose she liked it?
Henry smiled upon him indulgently; his old relation of protector to the younger boy had grown stronger during this trip; in the forest he was his comrade's superior by far, and Paul willingly admitted it; in such matters he sought no rivalry with his friend. "I wonder what they are doing way down there?" said Paul, waving his hand toward the southeast.
There are heaps of nice men in the world." "Heaps," assented Nan agreeably. "Heaps bless 'em! But very few preux chevaliers. I only know two one is my lamb of an uncle and the other is Peter."

Then in that counsel of the mighty arose Ann Craddock, farm woman in the stronghold of her worn-out acres.

"But this is a matter for your father and me to decide for you. I am sure you cannot fail in patriotism, my child."
His companion went with an unnatural lightness, and a policeman observing his face, smiled indulgently at a look of happiness which he could only attribute to alcohol.
