Lovell's eyebrows were the faintly-marked trace of a perfect arch. The other young person's were thickish, more level; a full brown colour.

Cytherea started to her feet at the sound, which broke in upon a fitful sleep that had overtaken her. She had been sitting drearily in her chair waiting minute after minute for the signal, her brain in that state of intentness which takes cognizance of the passage of Time as a real motion motion without matter the instants throbbing past in the company of a feverish pulse.

Armand's very soul was in his eyes. So far he had not yet caught sight of his beloved, and slowly very slowly a ray of hope was filtering through the darkness of his despair. The sentinel, who had stood aside for him, chaffed him for his intentness. "Have you a sweetheart among these aristos, citizen?" he asked. "You seem to be devouring them with your eyes."

In a flash of insight she realised that, just then, he was wondering about her as he had never wondered before, wondering whether she was really the good woman at whose feet his sin-stricken soul had worshipped. Yes, he was asking himself that question. "Boris," she said, "will you leave yourself in my hands?

His whole mind should then be given with equal intentness to Therapeutics, in its broadest sense, to Practical Medicine and to Surgery, with instruction in Hygiene and in Medical Jurisprudence; and of these subjects only surely there are enough of them should he be required to show a knowledge in his final examination.

Jim noticed the reclining figure casually, but thought no more about the man, though his interest might have been aroused if he had chanced to turn quickly for the desperado had raised his head with the quickness of a rattlesnake and his beady eye was fixed with malevolent intentness on Jim's every movement.
