2 It was beautiful, but too solemn; I half rose, and stretched my arm to draw the curtain.
3 She appeared to be cross-questioning me, attempting to draw from me information unawares.
4 They discovered I could draw: their pencils and colour-boxes were immediately at my service.
5 I had forgotten to draw my curtain, which I usually did, and also to let down my window-blind.
6 I then proposed to occupy myself till dinner-time in drawing some little sketches for her use.
7 Himself has hitherto sufficed to the toil, and the toil draws near its close: his glorious sun hastens to its setting.
8 It was drawing to an end now; but the evening was even warm, and I sat at work in the schoolroom with the window open.

15 I think you good, gifted, lovely: a fervent, a solemn passion is conceived in my heart; it leans to you, draws you to my centre and spring of life, wraps my existence about you, and, kindling in pure, powerful flame, fuses you and me in one.
16 Thus relieved of a grievous load, I from that hour set to work afresh, resolved to pioneer my way through every difficulty: I toiled hard, and my success was proportionate to my efforts; my memory, not naturally tenacious, improved with practice; exercise sharpened my wits; in a few weeks I was promoted to a higher class; in less than two months I was allowed to commence French and drawing.
17 Blanche Ingram, after having repelled, by supercilious taciturnity, some efforts of Mrs. Dent and Mrs. Eshton to draw her into conversation, had first murmured over some sentimental tunes and airs on the piano, and then, having fetched a novel from the library, had flung herself in haughty listlessness on a sofa, and prepared to beguile, by the spell of fiction, the tedious hours of absence.
