"He has kind eyes. He is"—slowly and meditatively—"very like you.","No. Dido did that.","H'm!" said Maurice. "It is devil-worship, pure and simple."，"Go in presently and see if she's done, and ask if she'll have some fruit pie or cake, and report if the tray is still on the deck."，"The praise I heard of it, though great, was too faint," he answers her, with such extreme sincerity in his tone as touches and gladdens the heart of the little patriot at his feet. She smiles contentedly, and turns her eyes once more with lazy delight upon the sea, where each little point and rock is warmed with heavenly light.
