In the few minutes she spent with Laura upstairs, before she hurried down again to help her mother with the Sunday dinner, she asked her new cousin innumerable questions, showing an intense curiosity as to Bannisdale and the Helbecks, a burning desire to know whether Laura had any money of her own, or was still dependent upon her stepmother, and a joyous appropriative pride in Miss Fountain's gentility and good looks.
Fountain's stepdaughter?" said Helbeck's companion, as Laura and her cart disappeared round a corner of the winding road on which the two men were walking. Helbeck made a sign of assent. "You may very possibly have known her father?" He named the Cambridge college of which Stephen Fountain had been a Fellow.
Strongly it tilts us along, o'er leaping and limitless billows, Nothing before, and nothing behind, but the sky and the ocean. In the Hexameter rises the fountain's silvery column In the Pentameter still, falling melodious down. This consists of two dactyls, and three trochees; the two dactyls first; and the trochees following.
Thou art successful in both; ne'er has the Gaul had success. When the happy appear, I forget the gods in the heavens; But before me they stand, when I the suffering see. Giddily onward it bears thee with resistless impetuous billows; Naught but the ocean and air seest thou before or behind. In the hexameter rises the fountain's watery column, In the pentameter sweet falling in melody down.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon, too, has embalmed this "pet and plaything of the Temple" in some pleasant stanzas: The fountain's low singing is heard on the wind, Like a melody bringing sweet fancies to mind, Some to grieve, some to gladden: around them they cast The hopes of the morrow, the dreams of the past.

She had only just been buried, and me in bitter grief, when doesn't the doctor call and ask me as a great favor, would I nurse Mrs. Fountain's child, that was pining for want of its natural food. I bade him get out of my sight.
The flavor is so little nauseous that the pure issue of the spring is iced for ordinary table use; and this, coupled with the fact that we could not detect the slightest unusual taste, gave us the gravest doubts about the trustworthiness of this mineral fountain's old and unblemished reputation: another indication is, that they have never had the liquid analyzed.
'The chorus of our maidens, as they pay their evening visit to the fountain's side. The burden is prophetic. 'Hark again! How beautifully, upon the soft and flowing air, their sweet and mingled voices blend and float! 'See! their white forms break through the sparkling foliage of the sunny shrubs as they descend, with measured step, that mild declivity.
Why had he not been able to see that the good-natured, simple familiarity of Reine Vincart had nothing in common with the enticing allurements of those who, to use Claudet's words, had "thrown their caps over the wall." How was it that he had not read, in those eyes, pure as the fountain's source, the candor and uprightness of a maiden heart which had nothing to conceal.
