She was not handsome.

Her eyes were too wide apart, her nose needed perhaps an eighth of an inch in length, and her well-shaped mouth would not have suffered by a slight reduction.

But there was a cheerful honesty in her expression and in her words which gave me the idea that she was a girl to believe in.
After supper we played round games, and the nervous young lady talked.
She could not keep her mind on cards, and therefore played no game.

In the course of the evening Mrs.Larramie took occasion to say to me, and her eyes were very full as she spoke, that she did not want me to think she had forgotten that that day I had given her her daughter, and although the others--greatly to my satisfaction--did not indulge in any such embarrassing expressions of gratitude, they did not fail to let me know the high estimation in which they held me.

The little girl, Clara, sat close to me while I was playing, every now and then gently stroking my arm, and when she was taken off to bed she ran back to say to me that the next time I brought a bear to their house she hoped I would also bring some little ones.
