"We shall see a little more as we wind down." And presently they came within view of a shaft, and two honest-eyed young Englishmen, both old Charterhouse boys, came forward to greet them. Meryl shook hands with her face all aglow with interest; and to their humble apologies that they had only huts to invite them into, she said, "But it is so nice of you to invite us at all.
In the sun-scorched, honest-eyed little figure before him he saw his own boy the single child of his young wife, who was lying beneath a marble slab in the churchyard. Her face, mild and Madonna-like, glimmered against the pallid rose leaves in the deep window-seat. He turned hastily away. "Yes, yes," he answered, "I will lend you one. Read the titles carefully. Don't let the books fall.
Once more he found himself contrasting the honest-eyed, pure-hearted Ruth with this sensual scoffer. There was no denying the physical appeal of the lithe, sinuous Russian; there was no gainsaying the call of the blood. On the other hand, the American girl stood for everything his own mother exemplified in flesh and spirit.
Andy Green, that honest-eyed young man whom everyone loved, but whom not a man believed save when he was indulging his love for more or less fantastic flights of the imagination, pulled up on the brow of Flying U coulee and stared somberly at the picture spread below him.

She presented him, and we saw that he was, indeed, no clergyman, no minister even in the sense that the Skeptic had differentiated these terms but a preacher and an embryo one at that a big, red-cheeked, honest-eyed boy, a straightforward, clean-hearted, large-purposed young fellow, who meant to do all the good in the world, in all the ways that he could bring about.
He was younger than his years, this honest-eyed, inexpressive fellow of seventeen, but for all his youth he was hard hit.
