"You don't know how dreadfully lonely it has been in this great room all night, and I am afraid of those solemn-eyed priests who stand round the doors. The women who brought me food last evening crawled about the place on all fours like dogs; it was horrible!" "I am sorry that you have been left alone," said Leonard, "but you must try to make better arrangements.
"I'd like to ride him. Can he run?" "Run? He's a demon. Swiftest horse on the sage! I hope he'll stay in that canyon. "He'll stay." They left camp to wander along the terraces, into the aspen ravines, under the gleaming walls. Ring and Whitie wandered in the fore, often turning, often trotting back, open-mouthed and solemn-eyed and happy.
She was singing, and a strand of pale-brown hair, crinkly as sea-weed, had blown across the rose of her cheek, when she felt rather than saw a shadow fall across her path, and, glancing up, she saw facing her the woman whom she had supplanted, and the solemn-eyed little girl holding tight to her doll.
But Peter, I suspect, sniffed something untoward in the air, for after a long study of my face which made me color a little, in spite of myself he became about as abstracted and solemn-eyed as Struthers herself.

Suddenly the giant swung round and looked at the spot where Davia had been standing. She had vanished. And Jean, solemn-eyed as any moose, stared stupidly at the place where her feet had rested.
When day after day passed and brought only softly whistled repetitions of his call, a handful of crumbs on the top of a locust line-post, and gently worded coaxings, he grew in confidence.

"I know they baked to-day, and we'll have a cup of tea and some cake. It will refresh us." "I ought to be going home," said Amy, with a little hesitating pause at the word "home." "Oh, do come in!" begged the French girl. As they entered the yard the twins, hand in hand and solemn-eyed, came down the walk to meet them. "Oh, the dears!" gushed Grace.
"Remember you are responsible for Carita, too." Mr. Ashe drew the solemn-eyed young girl who had been witnessing Blue Bonnet's little outburst into the circle. Blue Bonnet turned quickly and put her arms round Carita. "If Carita dares act like this, I'll exert my authority and spank her," she said, giving that young person a warm hug.
