Pressing one hand on her head, he raised the other, and called Heaven to witness, that, although the world might regard him as the husband of 'that sallow, gray-eyed, silly girl, whose gold alone had bought his name, the only woman he could ever love was his own beautiful Edith; and, should death come to his aid and free him from the detested bond that linked him to the heiress, he swore he would not lose a day in claiming the lovely wife that fate had denied him.

After confirming to his satisfaction that Trigger was indeed in charge, he informed her in chilled tones that the Devagas Union would hold her personally responsible for the unprovoked outrage unless an apology was promptly forthcoming.

I loved the quiet, gray-eyed youth next after Archie.
She was generous in her estimation of their worth and strove to enthuse over their many excellences, but to her irritation, suddenly realized that she was weighing them all against a gray-eyed man in a fire-rent shirt, with smoke-grimed face and singed hair. She turned uneasily in her hammock, catching through the wistaria a glimpse of the open door of the dimly-lit bunkhouse.
Norton expelled a deep breath of relief; he realized suddenly that whatever this gray-eyed, strong-handed girl had said would have had his fullest credence. Brocky's grin grew a shade less strained. "When you add to that combination," he muttered, "a sure-enough angel come to doctor a man. . . ." "Growing delirious again," laughed Virginia. "Give him a little brandy, Mr. Norton.
Roger, meanwhile, had been sorting out the wood he needed for a chair of another pattern. "I wish Dorothy would heave in sight," he growled as he piled some half inch thick strips in one heap. "She told me she'd tell me all she knew about chair legs when I reached this stage of proceedings." "She will," answered a cheerful voice, and gray-eyed Dorothy appeared from the house.
She slowly fed Susy, watching the child's face anxiously and wishing the doctor would come quickly. After an interminable time Dr. Brown came, a little shaky, and gray-eyed and very concerned over his call to the Manor.
