Excerpt from Keith's Wife, Vol. 2 of 3: A Novel Keith, after asking permission, lighted a cigar (dorothy wondered that she had never before noticed how peculiarly pleasant and aromatic was the smell of tobacco smoke), and now sat still in his corner of the railway carriage, in an evident condition of quiescent well-being. Dorothy, close beside him, feasted her eyes on his appearance. In the days of her courtship she had scarcely dared to lift her eyes and study his features deliberately; but now, now that he was her very own, her treasure and her care, she noted every curve and line, and trick of speech or manner.
