1 Then the door opened and he saw his wife.
2 As he passed into their gloom he saw an indistinct outline just ahead of him.
3 He saw Eady, after a moment, jump from the cutter and go toward the girl with the reins over one arm.
4 The girl seemed to waver, and Frome saw her twirl the end of her scarf irresolutely about her fingers.
5 As he drew near the farm he saw, through the thin screen of larches at the gate, a light twinkling in the house above him.
6 The face she lifted to her dancers was the same which, when she saw him, always looked like a window that has caught the sunset.
7 Completely reassured, she shone on him through tear-hung lashes, and his soul swelled with pride as he saw how his tone subdued her.
8 As his lips rested on it he felt it glide slowly from beneath them, and saw that Mattie had risen and was silently rolling up her work.
9 When he raised himself again he saw that she was dragging toward the stove the old soap-box lined with carpet in which the cat made its bed.
10 He saw a scarcely perceptible tremor cross her face, and without knowing what he did he stooped his head and kissed the bit of stuff in his hold.

13 But when Zenobia's doctor recommended her looking about for some one to help her with the house-work the clan instantly saw the chance of exacting a compensation from Mattie.

15 When she came to take care of his mother she had seemed to Ethan like the very genius of health, but he soon saw that her skill as a nurse had been acquired by the absorbed observation of her own symptoms.
16 After the funeral, when he saw her preparing to go away, he was seized with an unreasoning dread of being left alone on the farm; and before he knew what he was doing he had asked her to stay there with him.
17 She changed her position, leaning forward to bend her head above her work, so that he saw only the foreshortened tip of her nose and the streak of red in her hair; then she slipped to her feet, saying "I can't see to sew," and went back to her chair by the lamp.
