While the monk was speaking thus, Agnes fixed on him her eyes with an innocent mixture of surprise and perplexity, which gradually deepened into a strong gravity of gaze, as if she were looking through him, through all visible things into some far-off depth of mysterious knowledge.
"What a pity!" sighed Iris, and her hand crept sympathizingly into his. The gloomy look deepened on his face. "Do you believe that there is a true mate for each heart, Iris?" he asked, suddenly.

The wise leader will discover the broad middle course where love of the flower shall be deepened, and, as it were, broadened, by knowledge of its wonderful structure and functions. These can be well understood without so much as one technical term, though the skilful introduction of a few helpful words will not detract at all from the pleasure of the study, and will be most convenient.
The Viscount was, however, too adroit a fencer to yield readily to such a fate. Careful, at first, only to defend himself, he met each thrust and pass with a parry which deepened the frown on Winter's brow, and having retreated to the edge of the duelling ground, he there held his position despite the fierceness of the onslaught.

A shudder ran through Dick's great frame. He stretched out his hand.
"I'll just kill him good and quick! I'll be fair to this girl, if it's the last thing I do on earth!" Another day went by, in which he worked less and pondered more and all the time covertly watched Bess.
