LOVE AND ROMANCE

	Charles King was just as idealistic and passionate about love as he was about war. The following passages show King's descriptive and dramatic talents.
Gertrude Dean

Charles King’s writings and illustrations:

"Down she would have gone but for his quick spring and for his strong arms"
"Then bathes, with cologne, the white temples and soft, rippling, sunny hair"
 "‘You have taught me,’ he muttered below his breath"
"Pit-A-Patty"
"Bessie Bellingham"
"‘Hush! She’s coming’ - She was there"
"His arms had clasped and held her to his breast."
"But the major sought to block that mornings ride in vain"
"In her dainty bathing-dress"
"He could plainly hear their voices, almost their words"
