The ships sail by cheerily, there is a touching beauty about the landscape before her, all nature seems glad. Even the heavens smile serenely; and a genial warmth breathes through the soft air. "Truly the Allwise," she says within herself, "will be my protector, and is chastising me while consecrating something to my good. Mr. Keepum has made my father's release the condition of my ruin.
From Earth it was merely a tiny speck of light in the sky, identifiable for what it was only because it moved so swiftly and serenely from the sunset toward the east, or from night's darkness into the dawn-light.

Her obi, or sash, was of pale green silk. Her hair was elaborately pompadoured and drawn up in the back into a large glossy roll held in place with tortoise shell pins. No doubt it had taken hours to arrange; two, at the very least. Billie patted her own smooth rolls serenely. "Suppose I had to sleep with my neck on a little wooden bench every night to preserve my coiffure," she thought.

She assumes a crushing dignity and goes on serenely practicing with her fine-tooth comb and quoting poetry just the same as if you were not present at all. Some people can not stand prosperity.

On the eve of the wedding he paid Ruth his last visit in the quality of a lover, and was received by her in the garden. He found her looking paler than her wont, and there was a cloud of sadness on her brow, a haunting sadness in her eyes.
Willoughby spoke to Clarice, mentioning a private view of an exhibition of pictures at which she had seen Clarice. 'Who was the cavalier? she added. 'Mr. Drake, Clarice replied serenely. 'I met him there by accident. Mrs. Willoughby looked puzzled, and repeated the name in an undertone. 'You don't know him, I think, Clarice went on. 'He comes here. Papa asked him to call.
