Such persons mightgaze carelessly at first, but, becoming interested, would return dayafter day, and study these painted faces like the pages of a mysticvolume. Walter Ludlow's portrait attracted their earliest notice. Inthe absence of himself and his bride, they sometimes disputed as to theexpression which the painter had intended to throw upon the features; allagreeing that there was a look of earnest import, though no two explainedit alike. There was less diversity of opinion in regard to El...inor'spicture. They differed, indeed, in their attempts to estimate the natureand depth of the gloom that dwelt upon her face, but agreed that it wasgloom, and alien from the natural temperament of their youthful friend. A certain fanciful person announced, as the result of much scrutiny, thatboth these pictures were parts of one design, and that the melancholystrength of feeling, in Elinor's countenance, bore reference to the morevivid emotion, or, as he termed it, the wild passion, in that of Walter.
