Wayland even more than that of her husband. Fanny is a very accomplished woman, and saw a great deal of society in her younger days." "Confound it all! Why didn't you tell me that Madge had been living with two paragons?" said Graydon. "Oh, you have been so occupied with another paragon that there has not been much chance to tell you anything," was Mrs. Muir's consoling reply.
Muir's own enthusiasm is communicated to his hearer. With Mr. Burroughs, if his field of observation is closely gleaned, he turns aside into subjective fields and philosophizes a thing which Mr. Muir never does. One of the striking things about Mr. Muir is his generosity; and though so poor in his youth and early adult life, he has now the wherewithal to be generous.
chapter VII "She will tell Sir John, will she? Then I must be before her, and hasten events. It will be as well to have all sure before there can be any danger. My poor Dean, you are no match for me, but you may prove annoying, nevertheless." These thoughts passed through Miss Muir's mind as she went down the hall, pausing an instant at the library door, for the murmur of voices was heard.
Barrie would hardly have been surprised if she had stumbled upon a Sleeping Beauty. If she had, she would have said to herself, "So that's the secret Mrs. Muir's been hiding, by keeping the door locked up. I told you so!" The scent of the garret fascinated Barrie, and made her heart beat heavily, as if she were on the threshold of a mystery.

Gareth-Lawless' daughter watched the dancers, and looked unintentionally into the eyes of a girl standing for a moment near the wide entrance doors, the inexplicable and unconquerable Force reconnected its currents again. Donal Muir's eyes only widened a little for a second's time.
Muir's consternation at the peril her one ewe lamb had been led into by her highly revered friend. "A frightfully good-looking, spoiled boy like that always plunges headlong into any adventure that attracts him. Women have always made love to him and Robin will make great eyes, and blush and look at him from under her lashes as if she were going to cry with joy like Alice in the Ben Bolt song.
