"How could I forget them, the first pretty slippers which I ever owned?" She hastened to put them on, afterward surveying them with much satisfaction. They were such pretty slippers, decorated with white satin bows and crystal beading.
Was there any possible meaning in the world other than that he was planning some unearthly, more terrible fate for the man she loved!

Still the dark drama of the fireside continued before her eyes.
All this was deliciously lighted up by the rays of the sinking sun, which penetrated into the room, sparkling on the steel ornaments of the harpsichord and the gold beading of the picture-frames.
