In her eyes, as they met his, he thought he saw an expectancy, a welcome, and his hand, instead of stroking the rose-petals, closed on the rose and on the hand that held it, and kept them close imprisoned and strongly gripped.
I even know another old maid now who is nothing but an old music book long ago sung through, learned by heart, and laid aside: in a faded, wrinkled binding yellowed paper stained by tears and haunted by an odour of rose-petals, crushed between the leaves of memory: a genuine very thin and stiff collection of the rarest original songs not songs without words, but songs without sounds the ballads of an undiscovered heart, the hymns of an unanswered spirit."

The next outing for the people of Buck Creek neighborhood was the county fair, which occurred in September.
O, unfamiliar yet well-known face! ... O, slumbrous, starry eyes that seemed to hold the memory of a thousand love- thoughts! ... O, sweet curved lips whereon a delicious smile rested as softly as sunlight on young rose-petals!
