"All right, Annekins, just one minute," and Judy dashed in a drowning sailor or two, fluffed the heroine's hair into entrancing curliness, added a few extra rays to the sparkling comb, and held up the sketch. "There," she said, triumphantly. Anne slid from the rock, and waded in to look. "It isn't a bit like me," she criticized, holding up her wet and flowing draperies.
That was how he was always seen; he never wore his hat at home, and out of doors he carried it in his hand. I have never seen so beautiful a beard. It was of a light colour and very thick, but the chief peculiarity of it was its delicate curliness. It was positively beautiful in itself as a beard seldom is.

A blue ribbon banded her head, and save for an extra moist curliness in the soft rings of hair on her temples, no one could have guessed that the serene looking girl had worked hard and steadily for three hours in a kitchen.

He considered that it curled naturally in such a disordered style that he must get the natural curl out of it and then wave it, as this would be more becoming to the face.

Polly Hopkins cried; "and indeed, Mr. Stixon, these are slippery things."
