1 She pictured him going to his business that morning.
2 She saw no pictures of solitude, of hope, of longing, or of despair.
3 Musical strains, well rendered, had a way of evoking pictures in her mind.
4 A hundred times Edna had pictured Robert's return, and imagined their first meeting.
5 She waited for the material pictures which she thought would gather and blaze before her imagination.
6 On the floor was a fresh matting, covered with a rug or two; and on the walls hung a few tasteful pictures.
7 So it was he who in turn mounted the ladder, unhooking pictures and curtains, and dislodging ornaments as Edna directed.
8 When she came back Robert was not examining the pictures and magazines as before; he sat off in the shadow, leaning his head back on the chair as if in a reverie.
9 She had pictured him seeking her at the very first hour, and he had lived under the same sky since day before yesterday; while only by accident had he stumbled upon her.
10 She retained a few of the sketches, and gave all the rest to Madame Ratignolle, who appreciated the gift far beyond its value and proudly exhibited the pictures to her husband when he came up from the store a little later for his midday dinner.
11 She gazed around the room at the pictures and photographs hanging upon the wall, and discovered in some corner an old family album, which she examined with the keenest interest, appealing to Madame Lebrun for enlightenment concerning the many figures and faces which she discovered between its pages.
