If he did, he was penitent afterwards, as he showed by going to stand near Miss Jenkyns' arm-chair, and endeavouring to beguile her into conversation on some more pleasing subject. But she was inexorable. The next day she made the remark I have mentioned about Miss Jessie's dimples.
Her laugh died suddenly, to be sure, so suddenly that the gleaming teeth and pretty dimples outlived the mirth long enough to give a stricken, death-like expression to the face, but the change brought no fear; it brought something worse. Joyce's moral sense was an unknown quantity in her present development.
"Well, we can't tell that." "They wouldn't be very grateful, would they?" "Their time was come," said Daddy, who was a bit of a Fatalist. "I expect it was the best thing." "It was jolly hard luck on Noah being swallowed by a fish after all his trouble," said Dimples. "Silly ass! It was Jonah that was swallowed. Was it a whale, Daddy?" "A whale! Why, a whale couldn't swallow a herring!"
The Second Gunkus dropped his shoe, and fumbled about trying to pick it up. "Don't we, though!" said both of them, at last. So Sara gave the faithful creatures two kisses apiece, which left them beaming. "Do do you like them as well as dimples?" she asked. "Because, if you'd like dimples, I'll give you some of the Snimmy's."
His smile is the most wonderful thing! As he lies gazing with his great serious blue eyes, his whole face suddenly lights up, his mouth turns up at one corner in the most irresistible way, and his cheeks all go off into dimples.

Sparling, realizing that Phil had no step to aid him in his effort to reach the back of the animal. The lad launched himself into the air as if propelled by a spring. He landed fairly on the back of the ring horse, wavered for one breathless second, then fell into the pose of the accomplished rider. "Y-i-i-i p! Y-i-i-i-p!" sang the shrill voice of Little Dimples far down in ring No. 1.
And when Joe looked into his brother's face and saw the anguish settle in those laughing blue eyes, the despair that drove the dimples away from that almost girlish mouth; when he realized that this boy was but four-and-twenty years old, and that all his future was perhaps darkened and shadowed for ever, a great, deep sorrow arose in his heart, and he forgot all things, all but the agony that rang up through the voice of the fair, handsome lad as he staggered forward, crying, "Oh!

Mary looked up, and remarked the shining black hair, the long dark lashes lying down over the glowing cheek, where two arch dimples were nestling, and said, quietly, "Probably he is a man of taste, Cerinthy; I advise you to leave the matter entirely to his judgment." "You don't, really, Mary!" said the damsel, looking up. "Don't you think it would injure him, if I should?"
She was a charming little brunette, with laughter always lurking in ambush within her sparkling black eyes, a mouth like "Cupid's bow carved in coral," and dimples in her cheeks, that well deserved their French name, berceaux d'amour. These radiant visions of beauty took Alfred King so much by surprise, that he was for a moment confused.
