She was neatly dressed, and had a plain shepherd's-plaid shawl, that suited her noble bust.

She looked a picture of health and happiness.
"If you please, miss, he is come to take me to Cairnhope." "Oh! is it for that?
And I declare you expected him, too." "Yes," said Jael, and blushed.

"I didn't feel very sure he would keep his word." "Then you don't know him as well as I do." "I haven't the chance.

He speaks a deal more to you than he do to me." "Well, Jael, you needn't snub me, because you are going with Mr.
Little." As a bone, put between two friendly dogs, causes a growl, so when a handsome young man enters on the scene, I have seen young women lose a little of that unmitigated sweetness which marked them a moment before.
