Elinor Hadden's sweet child-face, always gentle and good-humored, though visited little yet with the deep touch of earnest thought, smiling upon life as life smiled upon her, looked lovelier to Leslie as this whisper made itself heard in her heart; and it was with a sweeter patience and a more believing kindliness that she answered, and tried to enter into, her next merry words.
No child-face was it now rather that of a woman who had been forced to look evil in the face, and was repelled and sickened at the sight. There was no joy in the eyes with which Enid now looked upon the world.

Well, he is off in India! I know he will be tragical and gloomy, and all that," she said; and then the soft child-face smiled to itself in the glass, such a pretty little innocent smile!
There was a mingling of love and daring, almost defiance, in her look, that seemed to say, 'If you are worth it if you are worth it then through fire and water! All at once a flash lighted up her lovely child-face and what do you think you were at the moment saying? that the flower of a plant was deeper than the root of it: that was what roused her!"
