Nothing could have brought Phebe away, so far from home, except the news of Roland's death. The rosy color on Phebe's face was gone, and the brightness of her blue eyes was faded; but there was the same out-looking of a strong, simple, unselfish soul shining through them.
The twilight deepened, and in the silence I gazed upon that splendid dome of a forehead which time could not mar, at the width between the eyes, and at the eyes themselves clear, out-looking, and wide-seeing. She rose to her feet with an air of dismissing me, saying "Ut wull be a dark walk home, an' there wull be more thon a sprunkle o' wet un the sky." "Have you any regrets, Margaret Henan?"
Charlotte sat with her strange in-looking, out-looking gaze holding the gaze of her questioner until for relief he spoke. "Why, young lady, it's hard to doubt anything you say, but really that sounds rather fanciful. Why should you think it?" "I do not think it, I know it.
The sleep referred to being death. This was meant to take away the reader's breath; and after performing the feat, Byron betook himself to his pillow with a sense of supreme cleverness.

The sunken cheeks and pinched nose told little of the quality of the life that flickered behind those clear blue eyes of hers. Despite the minutiae of wrinkle-work that somehow failed to weazen them, her eyes were clear as a girl's clear, out-looking, and far- seeing, and with an open and unblinking steadfastness of gaze that was disconcerting. The remarkable thing was the distance between them.
