She was gazing out of the window. It was a beautiful, desperate silhouette; something fateful in the long, still pose and the fixed look.

Her figure, now that it was trained to slight corseting, was less vigorous and more fine-drawn.
Then they were brought out, smooth, shining, fine-drawn, frisky, spirit-stirring to look upon, most beautiful of all the bay horse Ormonde, who could hardly be restrained, such was his eagerness for action. The horses disappear in the distance. They are off, not yet distinguishable, at least to me.
And as Steve talked a beam of sunlight fell athwart his sturdy figure, lightening its rough clothing, and surrounding him with a penetrating light that revealed the sprinkling of grey beginning to mar the dark hue of his ample hair. The lines, too, in his strong face, fine-drawn and scarcely noticeable ordinarily, the searching sun of spring had no mercy upon.
Can we keep our strength, without the tonic of his example? How petty it now seems to ask for any fine-drawn subtilties of poet or seer in him who gave his life to the cause of the humblest! Life speaks the loudest.
