Leonora was not laughing. Her gold-spotted eyes had opened wide; her nostrils were quivering with emotion. She seemed deeply moved by the young man's eloquent sincerity. "Poor Rafael! My poor dear boy!... And what are we going to do?" Down at the Blue House, Rafael had never dared speak so openly.
I looked about the library for some staff to help me to my feet again.

Crooked Jack was delving vigorously in the garden; ordinarily the Old Lady did not talk much with Crooked Jack, for she disliked his weakness for gossip; but now she went into the garden, a stately old figure in her purple, gold-spotted silk, with the sunshine gleaming on her white hair.
Rita was soon arrayed in a scarlet military coat, a habit skirt of dark velvet, and a plumed hat which perched like a bird on top of her flowing wig.

All the deep, strong color of the South was there, making things unreal: the gray mountains, fragile masses against the solid cobalt of the sky.
