220 II, V | little one, with her hair a little lighter, her smile a little
221 II, V | little lighter, her smile a little more mischievous, her air
222 II, V | more mischievous, her air a little more mocking; and he felt
223 II, V | forming a thick layer of little thin papers. He thrust his

262 II, VI | person; at last, glancing a little further down, he saw his
263 II, VI | hastened away, running a little, to show how much she was

272 II, VI | murmured.~“Oh, yes!”~Bending a little lower, she brushed his forehead,
273 II, VI | her lips, with that soft little breath that children give
274 II, VI | tightening his fingers a little. Each pressure said something
