On page 101 “In the shady court, where Jane spent many of
the hot July days, Fays tiny feet pattered over the stone flags and splashed in
the amber spring.” I thought this was
interesting in terms of body movements.
I noticed that the author, Zane, likes to talk about a
person’s eyes. For example, on page 102,
“She watched Lassiter with great, round, grave eyes but showed no fear.” Also, “He
saw Bess’s face white now with dark, frightened eyes” shown on page 134. On
page 143, “Her pale face, her great, glowing, earnest eyes, seemed to stand
alone out of the gloom of the gorge” which was another example of a description
of eyes. The last example I found when I
was reading regarding eyes is on page 160, “That, if it were needed, was the
concluding evidence of her femininity; for it went fittingly with her sun-tinted hair
and darkened, dilated eyes, the sweetness of her mouth and the striking
symmetry of her slender shape.” Eyes tell a lot about a person.
On page 122 “But if I lost Black Star and Night, it would be
like parting with my own flesh and blood.” People become attached to their
animals. Losing an animal is like losing a family member.
