At that stage of life a bud-like delicacy, a hesitancy of contour that is exquisitely charming, distinguishes young girls. The outlines of womanhood appear amidst girlhood's innocent slimness, and woman shoots forth at first all embarrassment, still retaining much of the child, and ever and unconsciously betraying her sex.
But love, her pretty body, her lips, her quiet manner the lure of all these combined, and his two children, when they came two in four years held him. He would dandle Frank, Jr., who was the first to arrive, on his knee, looking at his chubby feet, his kindling eyes, his almost formless yet bud-like mouth, and wonder at the process by which children came into the world.
In the others a strong limy skeleton was developed, and the nerves and other organs were modified in adaptation to the bud-like or flower-like structure. In the living Comatula we find a star passing through the stalked stage in its early development, when it looks like a tiny sea-lily. * See the section on Echinoderms, by Professor MacBride, in the "Cambridge Natural History," I.
At one or more nodes, bud-like branches spring from the main trunk and, curving upward, form columns about the parent stem. The giant cactus bears near the top a purple flower and a large, edible fruit. This fruit, which has a red pulp, is a favorite food with the Indians, and also with many insects and birds.

It had dark hair. He touched it with his finger, he wanted to see its eyes.
Upon the ventral surface of each of the rings thus sketched out, a pair of bud-like prominences made their appearance the rudiments of the appendages of the ring.
These bud-like young afterwards become what are known as jelly-fishes, etc., which in turn reproduce themselves but here is a wonder the jelly-fish lay eggs, which when hatched produce stationary polyps like their grandparent, and not moving creatures like their parents. The jelly-fishes have a comparatively complex organism.
The same impulse wreathed the crowning cross with a thousand midsummer fancies, till the circle of Eternity, or the triangle of Trinity, which often mingled with its arms, scarcely knew itself. The pinnacles, too, blossomed into crockets and bud-like finials, and began to gather more thickly about the roots of the spire, and from them often leaped flying-buttresses against it.
