His passage kindles to unconsuming fires and quenches into living ashes. No incidents save of his causing, no delight save of his giving: from the sunrise, when the larks, not for pairing, but for play, sing the only virginal song of the year a heart younger than Spring's in the season of decline even to the sunset, when the herons scream together in the shallows.

I ask, therefore, cannot we get our girls to help us here more than we do, without being crippled by the fear of initiating them too much in the evil of the world or destroying that unconscious virginal purity which is, even as things are, so strong and pathetic an influence for good over young men?

Miles and miles away, however, the mountains, in majesty of rock and snow, were sharply lifting upward into blue so deep and cloudless that its intimate proximity to the infinite was impressively manifest. The day was sweet of the ripeness of the year, and virginal as all that mighty land itself. With two of the rabbits across his lap, the tiny hunter made no effort to rise.

She was only Eileen O'Keeffe, she had never left Ireland save for the Convent. The rest was a nightmare. How glad she was that nobody knew! The proposal duly took place in a bunker, while Eileen was whimsically vituperating her ball.

One hand off the steering wheel, he took her hand a fresh, cool, virginal hand, snuggling into his, suddenly stirring him. He wanted to hold it tighter.

'Don't look like that, she said, with a touch of virginal fear, pushing him away, 'you frighten me. 'Frighten you, Bebe? he said, in a caressing tone; 'my heart's idol, you are cruel to speak like that; you must come with me, for I cannot and will not leave you behind. 'When do you go? asked Kitty, who was now trembling violently.

"Tell him we are the two ladies staying at Signor Selva's house," said Noemi. Don Clemente appeared, blushing in the virginal purity of his soul because Jeanne was unaware that he knew her story, as he might have blushed had he been committing some fraud. He mistook Noemi, who came forward first, for Signora Dessalle.

It was a manifest sign that a virginal vow had been broken, and that some of the keepers of the eternal fire were tainted with the sin of unchastity.
