Close beside me she sat, wrapped warm from the cold, rejoicing in her deliverance, and now and then looking up with tear-bright eyes into my face. Once and again I felt her sob, but I knew it was a sob of joy, and not of grief. The spell was broken at last, and she was mine.
'Then why don't you do it, John? asked Lorna, looking up at me, with a flash of her old fun. Now this matter, proverbially, is not for discussion, and repetition.

Then my darling drew back proudly, with blushing cheeks, and tear-bright eyes, she began to cross-examine me.
To Sandy the time seemed immeasurably long as he waited on the further side of the closed door, but at last they came to him Peter, stern and rather strained-looking, and Nan with tear-bright eyes and a face from which every vestige of colour had vanished. "Get a taxi, will you, Sandy?" said Peter.
It is the memory of a woman's very beautiful face, a woman with a flushed face and tear-bright eyes who went by me without speaking, rapt in some secret purpose. I passed her when in the afternoon of the first day, struck by a sudden remorse, I went down to Menton to send a telegram to my mother telling her all was well with me.

Outside a Christmas moon rode high above a sparkling ice-bright world and as the sleigh shot away into its quiet glory, Ralph, meeting the dark, tear-bright eyes of Sister Madge, tucked the robes closer about her with a hand that shook a little. "'Gipsy' Hildreth!" he said suddenly, smiling, but the hated nickname to-night was almost a caress.
Enough that we said nothing more than, "Oh, John, how glad I am!" and "Lorna, Lorna Lorna!" for about five minutes. Then my darling drew back proudly, with blushing cheeks, and tear-bright eyes, she began to cross-examine me. "Master John Ridd, you shall tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

She lifted her tear-bright eyes, with the reflection of her subsiding passion in them, and looked yearningly into his. Ollie suddenly found herself feeling small and young, penitent and frail, in the presence of this quickly developed man. His strength seemed to rise above her, and spread round her, and warm her in its protecting folds. There was comfort in him, and promise.
"All right, little girl. All right," he said. His tone must have reassured her, for she slipped round and knelt beside him. "I'd like you to kiss me," she said, and lifted a pale face and tear-bright eyes to his, He took her head between his hands, and she saw that he was moved.
