But a merry little couple were Gerdy and Constant, nine and eight years old, always together, adoring each other, good little flaxen- haired kiddies that they were: very babyish for their age, blending their resemblance to Papa and Mamma into one soft mixture of pink and white and gold, almost like a coloured picture, and seeming a couple of idyllic little figures by the side of the rough, sturdy elder brothers. "The Twilight of the Souls" by Louis Couperus
