With the promptitude of absolute certainty, he put out his strong hands and lifted the child from the ground. Then he uttered a cry. It was not Marian after all! He put her down he almost let her drop, and the startled child began to cry.
It was another type, another point of view he required, but, above all and principally, youth, youth the spirit, for instance, that was in Berenice Fleming. He was sorry in his way. He felt sympathy, but it was like the tinkling of a far-off sheep-bell the moaning of a whistling buoy heard over the thrash of night-black waves on a stormy sea. "You don't understand how it is, Aileen," he said.
When the young and rose-lipped cherubim are full of celestial sensations and adoring, eternal thoughts, they must look as Brenda did at that moment.

The same wonderful glow of her eyes, night-black and tender; the softness that comes from passion, and love, and virtue. The same wistful droop of the perfect mouth. What a wondrous mass of hair she had! I dropped my pen. She took my hand. I could sense the thrill of contact; cool and magnetic. "Harry!"

"Thou!" saith Beltane, staring in amaze, "ne'er hast thou seen me until this day!" "Verily, messire O messire, thou hast indeed seen me ere this and to my bitter sorrow for I who speak am the lady Winfrida " "Nay nay " stammered Beltane, "here is thing impossible thy night-black hair " O indeed, indeed I who speak to thee am the wicked Winfrida Winfrida the Sorrowful!"

O glossy night-black ringlets!
