She has grown very dear to me.
What a real blessing that child has been in the family! She leaves her mark wherever she goes, and always for good.

Wherever I turn I find some new evidence of her beneficial influence.

And to me personally she is particularly attractive; I can't understand exactly why, but whenever I look into her eyes, I feel as if I had known her for a long time, and as if we had been sympathetic friends in days gone by." "Ah, my dear wife, how often I have heard you say that whenever you feel a particular friendship for any one.

I recollect perfectly that after we had known each other a little while, you said it seemed to you as if we had been intimately acquainted some time before." "Well, suppose I did, you most incorrigible tease," said his wife, "you cannot convince me to the contrary, nor can you take away the fact that Dora is dear and delightful, not only to me, but to all the family besides.

Paula goes about beaming like the sunshine, and with no trace of her usual discontent.
