The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Little Rivers by Henry van Dyke: your words and your voice with your thoughts, your looks and your
gestures to interpret your feelings. The warm, strong grasp of
Greatheart's hand is as dear to me as the steadfast fashion of his
friendships; the lively, sparkling eyes of the master of Rudder
Grange charm me as much as the nimbleness of his fancy; and the
firm poise of the Hoosier Schoolmaster's shaggy head gives me new
confidence in the solidity of his views of life. I like the pure
tranquillity of Isabel's brow as well as her
"most silver flow
Of subtle-paced counsel in distress."
The soft cadences and turns in my lady Katrina's speech draw me
