He regarded himself with pleased interest, remembering even in that instant that he had never before seen himself with closed eyes.... All in the room was extraordinarily vivid and clear-cut.
"If I were you, Caroline," she said steadily, "I'd simply ask myself if I could trust Ronicky Doone. Can you?" The girl faced Ronicky again, her hands clasped in indecision and excitement. Certainly, if clean honesty was ever written in the face of a man, it stood written in the clear-cut features of Ronicky Doone. "Yes," she said at last, "I'll go.
The sky was sharp and blue; the snow diamonds sparkled insistently; the stark trees were bare and shameless, with a kind of brazen beauty; the hills shot assaulting lances of crystal. Even the shadows were sharp and stiff and clear-cut, as no proper shadows should be.

But the week previous to this she had returned and Annixter had come upon her suddenly one day in the dairy, making cheese, the sleeves of her crisp blue shirt waist rolled back to her very shoulders. Annixter had carried away with him a clear-cut recollection of these smooth white arms of hers, bare to the shoulder, very round and cool and fresh.

The settlement lay four miles northeast and there were little-used, needle-covered roads to be found that led here, there and everywhere, over which the initiated could find the way to the store.

"Why are we here, father?" she asked him suddenly; and because she took him by surprise he did not answer her at once. "We are here to do good aren't we?"
"Listen!" the older man continued, in sharp, clear-cut notes. "You are a stranger not only to our trails, but our customs. You are a young man. Let me give you some advice. First get rid of that artillery. It will do you more harm than good. And second, when a stranger speaks to you civilly, answer him the same.
