Excerpt from The Invader's Son However, on this occasion, she unconsciously ex pressed aloud the secret of her heart. She was sur prised to hear the precious words repeated in the still, crisp atmosphere. She made a pretty menac ing gesture at her f riends - the big, brown hills over the way, - and scrambled further out on the broad coping to inhale the harvest-scented air from the fields. Her light auburn hair ¿oated in the breeze. The pink ¿ush of perfect health mounted to her cheeks. Delicately moulded features and a mouth that one would kiss set her apart at once as beautiful. Raoul had often told Hermance of this desirable gift of the gods. And She was guilty of admiring in the mirror, when quite alone, her high prominent forehead, bright bewitching blue eyes, shapely head finely poised on a graceful, velvety, white neck. As She stood thus, almost dizzy in the zenith of happiness that comes to a good girl at such a time, She was more comely than ever before. A ¿owing garment of pea-green lawn suited her well - it fiapped out behind, silhouetting the out lines of her rounded, divinely carved form against the cloudless canopy of the heavens. Her nebulous charms of grace and natural vivaciousness gave her the right to be called the loveliest young woman in that part of Northern France.
