One of my favorite moments of the 'little house' books:
"Almanzo smiled. 'Your new ring is becoming to your hand,' he said.
Laura turned her hand in the sunshine. The gold of the ring gleamed, the garnet glowed richly in the center of the flat, oval set, and on either side of it the pearls shimmered lustrously.
'It is beautiful, this ring,' she said.
'I would say the hand,' Almanzo replied."
I don't think of myself as a swooner, but I guess I am, cos...swoon!
