Her shining loveliness upon the stairs attracted considerable attention; even her best girl-friend Mattie Allen noticed it, spoke of it to Evey McVey.... And then at the foot of the steps, she ran right into Jack Dalhousie's friend once more, the lame stranger whom she had just finally disposed of.
Brandreth winningly. "For instance, you know Mrs. Wilmington." "Oh yes; she's an old girl-friend of mine." "Then you know how enormously clever she is. She can do anything. We want her to take an active part the part of the Nurse. She's delightfully funny. But you know her peculiar temperament how she hates initiative of all kinds; and we want somebody to bring Mr. Wilmington round.
"Lead off, Polly and I will follow," said Eleanor, linking her arm through Polly's. Polly was not only surprised but pleased at Eleanor's evident act of friendship. She had never had a girl-friend of her own age to confide in, and she had felt very diffident with these city girls after their arrival.
I mean this materially in the light of an unshaded lamp. Our mental conclusions depend so much on momentary physical sensations don't they? If the lamp had been shaded I should perhaps have gone home after expressing politely my concern at the Fynes' unpleasant predicament. Losing a girl-friend in that manner is unpleasant. It is also mysterious.
"Along this cool avenue my girl-friend led me, looking down I recall the pleasant lines, the finely-modelled chin of her sweet kind face asking me questions in a soft, agreeable voice, and telling me things, pleasant things I know, though what they were I was never able to recall... Presently a little Capuchin monkey, very clean, with a fur of ruddy brown and kindly hazel eyes, came down a tree to us and ran beside me, looking up at me and grinning, and presently leapt to my shoulder.
She couldn't have worried George Washington and Friedrich Schiller and Hannah More. She met this argument, to my surprise, by throwing up the album without a pang. It wasn't even her own; she was responsible for none of its treasures. It belonged to a girl-friend in America, a young lady in a western city.
I always say one's either a friend or not, and if one's a friend why then be as rude as you please. What's friendship for?" They were, in fact, the greatest possible friends. Maggie had never possessed a girl-friend before. She had, in the first days of the acquaintance, been shy and very silent she had been afraid of going too far.
"And along this avenue my girl-friend led me, looking down I recall the pleasant lines, the finely-modelled chin of her sweet kind face asking me questions in a soft, agreeable voice, and telling me things, pleasant things I know, though what they were I was never able to recall . . . And presently a little Capuchin monkey, very clean, with a fur of ruddy brown and kindly hazel eyes, came down a tree to us and ran beside me, looking up at me and grinning, and presently leapt to my shoulder.
It's pretty lonely for me here, for I haven't a single girl-friend. Father kept me at school in Brussels for the sake of learning the language, but almost all the girls were French or American, and none of them live in London.
The children romped together outside, gravely, unplayfully, as one would expect from Fyne's children, and Mrs Fyne would be gone to the bottom of the garden with the girl-friend of the week. She always walked off directly after tea with her arm round the girl-friend's waist. Marlow said that there was only one girl-friend with whom he had conversed at all.
