Like most of the unattached girls of small towns, she was always dreaming of the handsome stranger who would fall in love the thrilling, love-story kind of love at first sight. The weather plays a conspicuous part in the romancings of youth; she felt that this was precisely the kind of day fate would be most likely to select for the meeting.
We ain't developed much of a love-story as yit, but you never can tell." He laughed, and Peggy Simms got up quietly, folded her sewing, and said "Good night" composedly before she went to her room. "How about it, Rainey?" quizzed Lund. "How about the love part of it? She's a beauty, an' she'll be an heiress. Ain't you got enny red blood in yore veins? Don't you want her?
And if she had guessed nothing, might not Snelling, leaping at conclusions, have gone back to Belleport there to spread idle gossip of the love-story? What would Howard Snelling know of the delicate situation 'twixt himself and Mr. Galbraith's daughter?
His conversation is agreeable, for he thinks for himself, and deeming thou wouldst not hear of such a match and that there was no danger, I met him at the Club several times in the evening, and and thou knowest the rest." She turned away her face, blushing, contrite, happy, anxious. Her love-story was as simple as her telling of it.
"He be gone to see the Bishop," pursued Josey, watching her tenderly with his old dim eyes, it was like reading a love-story to see the faint colour flushing those soft round cheeks of hers, and the tremulous quiver of that sweet sensitive mouth "Church business, likely.

He told himself that he had been depending upon Gertie for the bread-and-butter of friendship, and begging for the opportunity to give the stranger, Ruth Winslow, dainties of which she already had too much. When he called, Sunday evening, he found Gertie alone, reading a love-story in a woman's magazine. "I'm so glad you came," she said. "I was getting quite lonely."
Leonardo never mentions her, yet one writer has attempted to show that the rare beauty of that mysterious face shown in so many of Leonardo's pictures was modeled from the face of his mother. No love-story comes to us in Leonardo's own life he never married. Ventura suggests that "on account of his birth, he was indifferent to the divine institution of marriage." But this is pure conjecture.

She turned and arranged her veil at the glass, and as she did so, her eyes fell on the photographs of herself scattered over the mantel-piece, and she smiled slightly.
The Englishman looked at me sharply, even gravely; but the veranda is only dimly illuminated at night, and his scrutiny went unrewarded. "Eh, well!" said the Russian; "your philosopher has observed that all mankind loves a lover." "As all womankind loves a love-story," the Englishman added. "You ought to be very successful with the ladies," turning to me.
