She seemed to accept their devoirs not piquantly, as one courted and attended; nor preeningly, as many of her sex unworthily reap their honours; not yet stolidly, as the ox receives his hay; but concordantly with nature's own plan as the lily ingests the drop of dew foreordained to its refreshment.
