The face reminded one of ripe fruit so rich was the downy bloom on the delicate cheeks, so vivid the hazel of the wide black-fringed eyes. A touch of something heavy and undecided in the lower part of the face made it perhaps less than beautiful.
Soon we passed out of sight of the cabin, and could see only the billowy plain, the red tips of the stony wall, and the black-fringed crest of Buckskin. After riding a while we made out some cattle, a few of which were on the range, browsing in the lee of a ridge. No sooner had I marked them than Jones let out another Comanche yell.
There'd be only one thing that she'd be thinking about that would make her glad to do it to know that he loved her, Boye." Eye holding eye, she drew him closer till her black-fringed lids lowered and her face, held up to his, offered itself a symbol of a fuller gift. Gathering her in his arms, he rose and drew her to her feet.
And this wisp of a girl with her big black-fringed gray eyes peering up and out over her gray knitted shawl, but for the holes in her white stockings and the fact that the alabaster of her neck was a shade off color faith, an' it might have been Eleanor hersilf!
Now, whether she were really sleeping or shamming, the awakening, real or pretended, was beautiful. The drooping, black-fringed eyelids slowly lifted themselves from the eyes two large black orbs of soft fire; and the plump, crimson lips opened, and dropped two liquid notes of perfect music the syllables of his baptismal name: "Malcolm!"
Her bared throat and shoulder had the firm smoothness of marble, her lifeless face, its pure, full lips fallen apart, its long lids closed, black-fringed and black-browed, owing little of its beauty to color or expression, was at no loss in this deathlike composure and whiteness.

His pulses quickened here. He saw cattle dotting the expanse, and here and there along the edge log cabins and corrals.
You would think they lived whole days with those dark, black-fringed eyes cast down; but they see you first. The work about the house is well done where they are; there are apt to be flowers outside round about; while they themselves are as Paul desired to see the women in bishop Timothy's church, "adorned in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety."
The gray, rolling foothills, so exquisitely colored at that hour, and the black-fringed ranges, one above the other, and the distant peaks, sunset-flushed across the purple, all rose open and clear to her sight, so wildly and splendidly expressive of the Colorado she loved. At the foot of the slope Wade joined her.
"So are we all, in certain directions. Moreover, most women like their heroes to have a little personality. One can't make one's admiration stick to a blank wall of impersonal perfection." Weldon's mind moved swiftly backwards to two blue, black-fringed eyes glowing out from a dust-streaked face. "No," he assented; "but neither can one ever really be chums with his hero.
