It has bandy legs and arms no thicker than Thy smallest finger. It has a baldy head, about the size of an apple, with threads of gold spread over it like floss. It has a pink, wee face and a rose-bud of a mouth. It's eyes are like patches of Thine own blue Heaven. And it's soft and cuddly. The Women calls it her 'Belovedest. And it smells sweet like the flowers we used to breathe in Eden.
We'll give Arethusa a bridge-party, how about it, Belovedest?" Elinor agreed, and so Ross suggested a lesson right away. And Arethusa was just starting off to fetch some cards and have George bring what Elinor spoke of a "card-table," when George himself knocked at the door to announce that Miss Arethusa was wanted on the telephone. "Mr. Bennet wishes to speak to her."
I promised you that night I would kiss you in the way you longed to be kissed, in the way I longed to kiss you, and I have fulfilled my promise in part. Myra, belovedest, the nectar of your lips has increased my longing a thousandfold. Tell me, darling, that my kisses have fired your heart with the love for which I crave, and "
The paper doors of the sick chamber were wide apart, and once again I saw outlined against the glow of the evening sky two figures. The girl held the hands of the man against her heart, and through the soft shadows came low, happy voices: "Ah, Zura, 'I sought for thee and found thee!" "Belovedest," joyously whispered the girl, bending low.
In her lover's arms, their feet keeping time to the syncopated, stirring rhythms of the violins, their hearts beating to a mightier harmony of nature's own brewing, Tony Holiday was far from being a piece of statuary. She was all woman, a woman very much alive and very much in love. Alan bent over her. "Tony, belovedest. There are more things than art in the world," he said softly.
I want this miracle of a thing for my own." He stopped and stood before her. "My mother is the most beloved creature in the world. I have always told her everything. She has always cared. I don't know why I have not told her about this but I haven't and I don't want to now. That is part of the strange thing. I do not want to tell her even the belovedest woman that ever lived. I want it for myself.
Meanwhile, out in the garden Tony and Alan had strayed over to the fountain, just as they had that first evening after that first dance. "Tony, belovedest, let me speak. Listen to me just once more. You do love me. Don't lie to me with your lips when your eyes told me the truth in there. You are mine, mine, my beautiful, my love all mine." He drew her into his arms, not passionately but gently.
And Tony utterly miserable in a daze of conflicting emotions nestled in his embrace unresisting for a second, not caring any more than Alan himself what any one saw or thought upon seeing. "You were wonderful, belovedest," he whispered. "I never saw them go madder over anybody, not even Carol herself."
And now here's me named Rebecca Mary, and dearly beloved you named Thomas Jefferson. Oh, I don't suppose you can understand; I suppose you're asleep. You'll never know how it feels to give up your dearly belovedest, but oh, oh, dear, you'll know how it feels to be given up! You'll be one o' the blessed martyrs, Thomas Jefferson doesn't that comfort you a little speck?
As she came through the kitchen she said to Katy, busy with the lunch box: "Belovedest, have there been any strange Japs poking around here lately?" She nearly collapsed when Katy answered promptly: "A dale too many of the square-headed haythens. I am pestered to death with them. They used to come jist to water the lawn but now they want to crane the rugs; they want to do the wash.
