[One of Our Conquerors by George Meredith]@TWC D-Link bookOne of Our Conquerors CHAPTER XXVII 12/19
You will see Dudley on Tuesday? I will write.

Your Nesta has no aversion ?' 'Admires, respects, likes; is quite--is willing.' 'Good enough beginning.' She rose, for the atmosphere was heated, rather heavy.

The fair black-clad widow's quick and singular interwreathing of the evanescent pretty pouts and frowns dimpled like the brush of the wind on a sunny pool in a shady place; and her forehead was close below his chin, her lips not far.
