She laughed, and accepting the arm of Ormuz Khan, walked into a very English-looking library, followed by Rama Dass and Mrs. McMurdoch. The house, she thought, was very silent, and she found herself wondering why no servants had appeared.
Looking everywhere for blue eyes and golden hair, it seemed to Cecile that such things had faded from the earth. And now! but no, what would bring the English girl Lovedy there? Why should Lovedy be at Moulleau more than at any other village in the Landes? and in any case what had the English-looking child to say to Lovedy? Cecile determined to put any vague hopes out of her head.
While Joe was away, sometimes accompanied by Maurice, sometimes alone, Cecile would yield to that queer fascination, which seemed unaccountable, and wander silently, and yet with a certain anxiety to the borders of that English-looking farm. Never did she dare to venture within its precincts.
From the bundles on the foremost cart peeped a lovely, fair-haired, English-looking child. Robert took all this in in a moment. The same moment Shargar's spell was broken.

Starting from Reggio, the carriage-road keeps to the plain for some while in a westerly direction, and then bends away towards the mountains. As we approach their spurs, the ground begins to rise. The rich Lombard tilth of maize and vine gives place to English-looking hedgerows, lined with oaks, and studded with handsome dark tufts of green hellebore.
As the steamer comes to rest on the mainland side at Kowloon Wharf we must take a ferry over to the city. Once we are there we find a well-built town with wide roads, tree lined and very clean; there are many quite English-looking buildings of stone, and in the shops a strange mixture of wares, European and Eastern.
'I hardly ever use any. I don't care for scent. 'But lately you have, he insisted. 'What is it? I think I like it. 'It's got a silly name. It's called Omar Khayyam. 'I thought it was Oriental. I think you're Oriental, Edith. Though you're so fair and English-looking. How do you account for it? 'I can't think, said Edith. 'Perhaps you're a fair Circassian, said he.
