She was then twenty-five, and thus had been for six years in a state of almost constant ill health. Her very appearance moved him profoundly.

She was extremely small, with Oriental features and dark-lashed eyes that were at once penetrating and "prophetic."
His mind was filled by a galloping troop of vivid memories a pair of bright, dark-lashed gray eyes, the sound of a low, clear laugh, the turn of a rosy cheek, an opinion which had interested him, a pretty thought, a way she had of smiling appealingly after she had said something whimsical or perverse.
I only wanted to be on the same train and then, supposin' you should happen to need help any way, I'd be ready." "But that's rather too much self-sacrifice," said Angela, looking him full in the face with her dark-lashed, slate-gray eyes. "I'm not alone. I have my maid. I shan't need help." "I guess you know I'm not making a self-sacrifice," Nick said honestly.
"Be he fairer than the day Or the June-field coils of hay; If he be not so to me, What care I how fine he be?" There was such merriment in the dark-lashed eyes, I defy Eli Kirke himself to have taken offence; and so, like many another youth, I was all too ready to be the pipe on which a dainty lady played her stops.
She must have been past middle age, for her thick, brown hair was already touched with silver, and one lock of snow-white lay above her forehead.

No; I'm afraid I can't," Claire said regretfully.

Life had imposed on her a hard finish. But it was impossible for Roy to believe that this slender, tawny child of the wind and the sun could at heart be bitter and suspicious. He had seen the sweet look of her dark-lashed eyes turned in troubled appeal upon her father. There had been one hour when he had looked into her face and found it radiant, all light and response and ecstasy.
There was a certain magnificence about her arms, shoulders, hair, which had darkened since he first knew her, about the turn of her neck, the silkiness of her garments, her dark-lashed, greyblue eyes she was certainly as handsome at forty as she had ever been.
