The other was superb with health, and her face was full of rose-bloom. She was handsomely dressed in green velvet, and her copper hair flamed and flashed beneath a small bonnet with mauve strings. 'Oh, Alice, how tired and pale you look! You have been working too hard, and all for me! How can I thank you?
How many fashionable women at the end of a long season would be ready to welcome heaven itself as a relief from the desperate monotony of dressing, dawdling, and driving! This could not go on so forever. Clement had placed a red curtain so as to throw a rose-bloom on his marble, and give it an aspect which his fancy turned to the semblance of life.
Returning homeward, she found the shadowy girl amid the knot of visionary transcendentalists, who were still seeking for the better life. She was joyous now, and had a rose-bloom in her cheeks, and was one of the prettiest creatures, and seemed one of the happiest, that the world could show. But the lady stole noiselessly behind her and threw the veil over her head.
"I can't get my hat," she said; "but it doesn't matter. I'll go as I am." Now Kitty's dress was more picturesque than suitable.

The poet is alone among the mountains, with dawn and sunset for associates, Jura thrilled to gold at sunrise, Salève in its evening rose-bloom, Mont-Blanc which strikes greatness small; or at night he is beneath the luminous worlds which One by one came lamping chiefly that prepotency of Mars.
Daisy was brave of heart, but in the face of such sudden and unlooked-for danger her courage failed her.

She caught her breath with a sob, and, seizing the oar with two soft, childish hands, made a desperate attempt to turn the boat.
I desire you to tell us." "And if I don't, guardy?" She looked up at him rather defiantly seated on a low stool, her elfish chin in her elfish hand, her pretty little rose-bloom face peeping brightly out from the scented yellow curls. "Mollie!"
