In course of time Ailie grew up into such a sweet, pretty, modest, loveable woman, that the very sight of her did one's heart good. Love was the ruling power in Ailie's heart love to her God and Saviour and to all His creatures. She was not perfect. Who is? She had faults, plenty of them. Who has not?
Beneath these exhibitions the sober strong spirit of the country, unfortunately not a prescient one, nor an attractively loveable, albeit of a righteous benevolence, labours on, doing the hourly duties for the sake of conscience, little for prospective security, little to win affection.

"And engaging, and agreeable, and gentlemanlike?" "Agreeable, and gentlemanlike too." "And graceful, and loveable?" "Graceful, certainly; and, very possible, loveable, to those who know him."
In a few months' time they were captured, and it did actually fall to his lot to attend them to the scaffold. Yet, though of this fearless mould, he was one of the most loveable of men; everyone on his farm, as well as all little children, and the savages he conversed with, all loved him passionately.
It was a dreary road even in summer, though not therefore without its loveable features amongst which the dykes; and wherever there is anything to love, there is beauty in some form. A short way past the second milestone, he came to the first straggling houses of the village.
