He is a splendid young fellow.
Without turning her head she knew that Dr. Bulling was approaching Iola from the other side. She put her hand on Barney's arm. "Mr. Boyle, please take Miss Lane to my carriage there?

She resolved to show her letter to Dick.
"Tell me what to say, Dick," she replied, smiling into his face and leaning toward him. "How can I tell you?" cried Dick desperately, springing up. "I only know you are beautiful, Iola, beautiful as an angel, as a devil! What has come over you, or is it me, that you should affect me so?
