And at last came Lisbeth herself, swiftly, lightly, as fair and sweet and fresh as the morning, who yet paused a while to lean upon the balustrade and look down at me beneath the brim of her hat. Up I rose and stretched out my hands to her, but she still stood there, and I saw her cheeks were flushed and her eyes shy and tender.
Her cheeks had flushed despite her efforts for composure, and she was uncomfortably conscious that Sylvia was trying to restrain a smile at this most open contradiction of the implied attachment between Jack and his Irish neighbour. Her irritation urged her to stronger measures, and she said testily "It proves how little dependence can be placed upon Jack's promises.
Miss Ethel also flushed a little on her thin cheekbones, while the left side of her face twitched a little as it did when she was agitated; but that was all the sign she gave of the tumult of irritation, impatience and hurt pride which surged within her. That Ellen's niece should dare to speak to her like that!
She looked flushed and excited, and she came forward at once, and spoke to me before I could open my lips. "I wanted you," she said. "Come and sit down on the sofa with me. Marian!

Why, Pete, we mustn't leave him. He isn't he isn't HIMSELF, Pete. He he's been DRINKING!" Billy's voice broke, and her face flushed scarlet. She was almost crying.

She was flushed and handsome, her eyes bright, her hair slack, thick, but more witch-like than ever. She did not speak. She had been followed by a grey-haired woman with a round, rather sallow face and a slightly hostile bearing.
"Nothing on earth, barring the chances of life, can keep me away." Her face flashed and flushed with the glow of a leaping joy; but like the vanishing of a gleam it disappeared to leave her as he had never beheld her. "I am nothing I am lost I am nameless!" "Do you want me to come back?" he asked, with sudden stern coldness. "Maybe you want to go back to Oldring!"
But what about your Indian ruins? You must find them." Bet was anxious for the old man to realize his desire and find the ancient village of the vanished tribe. It meant so much to his crippled daughter. "That can wait for a little while. This looks as if it might be much more interesting." The professor's wrinkled face was flushed with the excitement of a mystery to be unearthed.
"Of course," said Betty, "because everything would be so silly if He didn't, you know. I believe He likes us to love him, and what's more, I believe He likes us to love all the pretty things He's made trees and rivers and sunsets and seas." "And each other," said Temple, and flushed to the ears: "human beings, I mean, of course," he added hastily.
