He greeted them with an unclouded brow and frank and open bearing; not a tinge of fear and nervousness was to be seen in his features; he fixed his large and lustrous eyes on the lips of General St. Hilaire who presided over the court-martial and now rose from his seat.

This easy capacity of great affections for small duties is the peculiar triumph of the highest spirit of love. How quietly she lies! Closed are the lustrous eyes, Whose fringed lids, so meek, Rest on the placid cheek; While, round the forehead fair, Twines the light golden hair, Clinging with wondrous grace Unto the cherub face. Tread softly near her, dear ones!
His features were his mother's set in masculine lines, with the same abundant dark hair, the same lustrous dark eyes, the same straight nose and well-formed chin. The same imperious will of all the Thaines to do as he chose was his heritage, too, and he walked the prairies like a king.
Blocking the end of the street, in stern contrast, was the huge Clarendon Mill with its sinister brick pillars running up the six stories between the glass.

The young girl stands in wondering amaze, her velvety brown eyes lustrous with emotion.
Bertha unclosed the other case. It held a bracelet and a tiara-shaped comb. The shamrock and lily were blended as in the necklace. "These diamonds are very lustrous," said Bertha, clasping the bracelet admiringly upon her delicate wrist. "But what are you doing with them, and at this time of night?" "Looking at them," answered Madeleine, with some hesitation.
I covered him up and stood waiting in silence, catching a painfully gasped word now and then. They were no longer in his own language. The fever had left him, taking with it the heat of life. And with his panting breast and lustrous eyes he reminded me again of a wild creature under the net; of a bird caught in a snare. She had left him. She had left him sick helpless thirsty.
Bard moved inside, taking off his hat. "How'd you happen to be lost in the hills?" "I'm a bit of a stranger around here, you see." The other surveyed him with a growing grin. "I guess maybe you are. Sure, we'll put you up for the night. Where's your hoss?" He went out and raised the lantern above his head to look. The light shone back from the lustrous wide eyes of the grey. Wood turned to Bard.
