First Sentence: A face fresh and bright as a June rose picked before the sun has shone on it; eyes dark and dewy, and fond as a young wife's ought to be, and tender red lips that quivered with feeling as Hope Latimer hung upon the shoulder of that happy fellow, her husband, and called him all sorts of fond, sweet names, emphasizing each with a caress that in the old courting days would have crazed John Latimer completely, but which, being three years married, he received now with appropriate and philosophical resignation, everything considered.
