Still there was everything very smart; Spigot in full fig, with a shirt frill nearly tickling his nose, an acre of white waistcoat, and glorious calves swelling within his gauze-silk stockings. The improvised footman went creaking about, as such gentlemen generally do.
By God, you shall!" he whispered low in her ear, as though her spirit could hear and take comfort from the assurance. A downward jerk of the punkah rope set the great frill flapping with ostentatious vigour; and he himself set to work again no less vigorously; fighting death hand to hand with every weapon at command.
His hair was dyed brown. A slender frill adorned his shirt-front. "Mrs." the visitor began to say, not giving the name, but waving his index-finger toward his card, which Dr. Sevier had laid upon the table, just under the lamp, "my wife, Doctor, seems to be in a very feeble condition.
And yet how beautiful and stately she looked in her little white widow's cap, her sombre dress, and the frill of sheer white crape at her throat. "Edith!" Trix said involuntarily, "how handsome you have grown! You were always pretty, but now I don't mean to flatter but you are splendid! It can't be that black becomes you, and yet Charley, don't you see it? hasn't Edith grown lovely?" "Trix!"

The musical meeting at Exeter over, she made her appearance, and some concerts were given, which electrified all Cornwall. Count Frill was very strong here; though, to be sure, he also danced, and acted, in all varieties.
He really began to suspect that she was little better than an idiot: then, she ate so much, and he hated your eating women. He gladly shuffled her off on that fool Count Frill, who daily brought his guitar to Kemp Town. They just suited each other. What a madman he had been, to have embarrassed himself with this creature! It would cost him a pretty ransom now before he could obtain his freedom.
EARS Heart-shaped; not set too high; leather never long enough to come below the muzzle; not carried erect, but rather drooping, long feather. MUZZLE Very short and broad; not underhung nor pointed; wrinkled. MANE Profuse, extending beyond shoulder blades, forming ruff or frill round front of neck.
It was not enough to be called a fog, or even a mist, but quite enough to deaden the gray light, always flowing along the boundary of sky and sea. But over the wet sand and the white frill of the gently gurgling waves more of faint light, or rather perhaps, less of heavy night, prevailed.
