Lord Ormont and his Aminta

CHAPTER IV
21/23

Why did she come?
But how was it that he was drawn to think of her?
Absent or present, she was round him, like the hills of a valley.

She was round his thoughts--caged them; however high, however far they flew, they were conscious of her.
She took her place at the midday meal.

She had Aminta's voice in some tones; a mellower than Aminta's--the voice of one of Aminta's family.
She had the trick of Aminta's upper lip in speaking.

Her look on him was foreign; a civil smile as they conversed.

She was very much at home with my lord, whom she rallied for his addiction to his Club at a particular hour of the afternoon.
