vf04-01 They ate dinner at the fifth, and rested for two hours
vf04-02 Two years ago I gave up civilization for this
vf04-03 She had died from cold and starvation
vf04-04 It was Jeanne singing softly over beyond the rocks
vf04-05 He was determined now to maintain a more certain hold upon himself
vf04-06 Each day she became a more vital part of him
vf04-07 It was a temptation, but he resisted it
vf04-08 This one hope was destroyed as quickly as it was born
vf04-09 Her face was against his breast
vf04-10 She was his now, forever
vf04-11 Providence had delivered him through the maelstrom
vf04-12 A cry of joy burst from Philip's lips
vf04-13 Philip began to feel that he had foolishly overestimated his strength
vf04-14 He obeyed the pressure of her hand
vf04-15 I am going to surprise father, and you will go with Pierre
vf04-16 About him, everywhere, were the evidences of luxury and of age
vf04-17 Then he stepped back with a low cry of pleasure
vf04-18 In the picture he saw each moment a greater resemblance to Jeanne
vf04-19 He told himself that as he washed himself and groomed his disheveled clothes
vf04-20 Accept a father's blessing, and with it, this
vf04-21 It seems like a strange pointing of the hand of God
vf04-22 Such things had occurred before, he told Philip
vf04-23 Ah, I had forgotten, he exclaimed
vf04-24 But there was something even more startling than this resemblance
vf04-25 I have to be careful of them, as they tear very easily
vf04-26 Of course, that is uninteresting, she continued
vf04-27 A moment before he was intoxicated by a joy that was almost madness
vf04-28 Now these things had been struck dead within him
vf04-29 For an instant he saw Pierre drawn like a silhouette against the sky
vf04-30 Goodbye, Pierre, he shouted
vf04-31 And MacDougall was beyond the trail, with three weeks to spare
vf04-32 Philip thrust himself against it and entered
vf04-33 MacDougall tapped his forehead suspiciously with a stubby forefinger
vf04-34 He was smooth-shaven, and his hair and eyes were black
vf04-35 Won't you draw up, gentlemen
vf04-36 A strange fire burned in his eyes when Thorpe turned
vf04-37 He had worshiped her, as Dante might have worshiped Beatrice
vf04-38 Does that look good
vf04-39 They look as though he had been drumming a piano all his life
vf04-40 You want to go over and see his gang throw dirt
