He found himself taken under a dovelike protectorship; a wonderful, inexpressible Being seemed to have become his proprietor. "Isn't this just perfectly lovely?" she said cozily, close to his ear. He swallowed, but found no words, for he had no thoughts; he was only an incoherent tumult. This was his first love. "Isn't it, Ramsey?" she urged. The cozy voice had just the hint of a reproach.
It mattered not at all what Irma was given to wear an old tartan of my grandmother's Highland Mary days when she was a shepherdess by the banks of Cluden, a severe gown designed on strictly architectural principles by the unabashed shears of Aunt Jen herself, a bodice and skirt of my mother's, dovelike in hue and carrying with them some of her own retiring quality in every line.
And the silken sheen and intoxicating perfume of her hair, and the trembling lashes shading the eager, longing, soul-hungry eyes; and the way the little pink ears nestle; and the fair, white, dovelike throat, with its ripple of lace.

This room did not look so bright half an hour syne." But Truelove shook her head, and would not reckon further; instead heard Ephraim calling, and gently drew her apron from the Highlander's clasp. "There will be a meeting of Friends at our house next fourth day," she said, in her most dovelike tones, as she rose and held out her hand for her new shoes. "Will thee come, Angus?
