Beets are hardy and although hair-roots are apt to form on transplanted garden beets, the transplanting aids the growth in other ways and Hiram expected to have table-beets very early. In the garden itself he had already run out two rows of later beets, the width of the plot. Bunched beets will sell for a fair price the whole season through.
Her very black face was dazzlingly chalked, lines by threes running from hair-roots to nose-bridge and meeting others drawn across the temples; the orbits of the eyes were whitened, and thence triple streaks stretched up the nose and across the cheeks.
How could she be anything but happy, she, the Holy Virgin's favourite? Tell Mr. Böhnke what she has revealed to you in your dreams, darling," and she nodded encouragingly to the child. "I've not dreamt it." Rosa grew almost angry, and she flushed up to her hair-roots. "You're not to say that I dreamt it, mother. It was really true; I was just as wide awake as you are, and father, and Mr. Böhnke.
I never sent a telegram." "I beg your pardon, Mrs. Cameron. I understood you to desire Dr. Martin's presence, and I ventured to send a wire in your name. I hope you will forgive the liberty," said Smith, red to his hair-roots and looking over his horse's neck with a most apologetic air. "Forgive the liberty?" cried Mandy. "Why, bless you, Mr.

He had that indefinable, yet certain, air of superiority, of assured position and knowledge, that stamps a few men in the world a Yuan Shih Kai, Rabindranath Tagore, Sitting Bull, and Porfirio Diaz. He wore only a pareu, and was tattooed from toenails to hair-roots. A solid mass of coloring extended from his neck to the hip on the left side, as though he wore half of a blue shirt.
And out from the midst of the light stepped Dolores, bewitching, irresistible, smiling down upon him with a tenderness that filled him with awe. Amazed, dazzled, the man sat up, quivering with a sensation that rippled at his hair-roots and sent the blood singing to finger and toe-tips.

At the sight of her free and easy bearing his face changed, and he said stiffly: "I think, Jane, a little less exposure of your person, my dear...." Flushing to her hair-roots, Jinny began as hastily as she dared to re-arrange her dress. Mary broke a lance on her behalf.
I did not believe that I was going to die. I knew I say I knew that I was not going to die. My head was swimming, and my heart was pounding from my toenails to the hair-roots in my scalp.
