A Canadian Heroine, Volume 1
It was near sunset, and the season was early summer. Every tree was in full leaf, but the foliage had still the exquisite freshness of its first tints, undimmed by dust or scorching heat. The grass was, for the present, as green as English grass, but the sky overhead was more glorious than any that ever bent above an English landscape.

A Canadian Heroine, Volume 2
Mrs. Costello had felt it a kind of reprieve when she heard from Mr. Strafford that they might delay their journey safely for a month. The sober middle age which had come upon her before its time, as her life rolled on out of the anguish and tumult of the past, made home and quietness the most desirable things on earth to her, and her health and spirits, neither yet absolutely broken, but both strained almost to the extent of their endurance, unfitted her for the changes and excitements of long travel. So she clung to the idea of delay with an unacknowledged hope that some cause might deliver them from their present terrors, and yet suffer them to remain at Cacouna.

A Canadian Heroine, Volume 1
It was near sunset, and the season was early summer. Every tree was in
full leaf, but the foliage had still the exquisite freshness of its
first tints, undimmed by dust or scorching heat. The grass was, for the
present, as green as English grass, but the sky overhead was more
glorious than any that ever bent above an English landscape. So far away
it rose overhead, where colour faded into infinite space, that the eye
seemed to look up and up, towards the Gate of Heaven, and only through
mortal weakness to fail in reaching it. Low down around the horizon
there was no blue, but pure, pale green depths, where clouds floated,
magnificent in deep rosy and golden splendour. Under such skies the
roughest landscape, the wildest forest, softens into beauty; such light
and colour, like fairy robes, glorify the most commonplace; but here,
earth lent her own charms to be decked by heaven.
