His daughter Dora's death in 1847 had hit him terribly hard, and his sister's state the helpless though gentle insanity of the unique, the beloved Dorothy weighed heavily on his weakening strength.
And when they got out of the train Dora's boa got stuck in the door and she had to turn round though she did not want to, and then she saw again ! She simply could not sleep for a whole month afterwards. I remember that time when she could not sleep but I did not know why it was. She never told anyone except Erika and the same thing happened to her once.
"He hasn't the slightest idea that you are here, or that anybody is going to spend the night with us. If Mike said anything about you and your brother, which I doubt, for he is awfully anxious to get in that hay, Ralph thought, of course, that you were both gone long ago." The situation suited Dora's fancy admirably. "Let us make it a regular surprise," she said.
He met that gentleman at his own garden gate. Octavius paused in his exit, to hold it open for young Murchison, thus even assisting the act of entry, a thing which thrilled Lorne sweetly enough when he had time to ponder its possible significance. Alas! the significance that lovers find! Lorne read a world in the behaviour of Dora's father in holding the gate open.
The sight of the new quilt and of the fresh white pillow, coupled with the knowledge that it was Dora whose fingers had prepared it all for me, sent a glow of delight through my heart Dora's name was whispering itself in my mind. I paused at the window, an enchanted man
Nellie lowered her voice, so Dick might not hear. "Something is wrong between them. I don't know what it is." "Wrong? Why, how can that be? I didn't hear of anything," Tom now spoke in a whisper.

Do you see, Dora, why I want you to learn to draw? Look how Wynnie sees things. That is, in a great measure, because she draws things, and has, by that, learned to watch in order to find out. It is a great thing to have your eyes open." Dora's eyes were large, and she opened them to their full width, as if she would take in the universe at their little doors.
They were dressed at last, and very beautifully Eugenia looked in the pink satin and flowing lace, which harmonized so well with her complexion, and which had been bought with the united proceeds of a velvet bonnet, a delaine dress, a broche shawl, and Dora's hair!
And when nothing else could cow Mostyn, he was cowed by the law. He sank almost fainting into his chair, and the Justice listened to Dora's story, and looked indignantly at the brutal man, when she showed him her torn dress and bruised shoulder. "I entreat your Honor," she said, "to permit me to go to my mother who is now in London." And he answered kindly, "You shall go.
Dora's was bright with the brightness of a marigold that follows the sun without knowing it; and Eliza's was bright with the brightness of a half-blown cabbage rose, radiating good-humour. This last is not a good simile, but I cannot find a better. I confess failure, and go on.
