Her face was beginning to lose the kittenish look, and was, alas! more suggestive of the seal. Her cheeks were spreading upwards, outwards, and to both sides. The Bugrovs were living in first-rate style. They had plenty of everything. The house was overflowing with servants and edibles. . . . When we had finished supper we got into conversation.
"Oh, no I mean not really." "Well, I'll bet you do!" He glanced at her smooth hands, her diamond and ruby rings. She caught the glance, snuggled her hands together with a kittenish curving of slim white fingers which delighted him, and yearned: "I do love to play I mean I like to drum on the piano, but I haven't had any real training. Mr.
I fancy that even quoting from memory I could convince you that it is better to avoid him. 'Pass Byron, said Mrs. Beecher, who was a very pretty little kittenish person, with no apparent need of any cosmetics, literary or otherwise. 'How about Shelley? 'Frank raves about Shelley, observed Maude. Mrs. Hunt Mortimer shook her head. 'His work has some dreadful tendencies.
Her big brown eyes is sparklin', she's smilin' coy as she looks the Major up and down, and the next thing we know blamed if she ain't cuddled right up to him and remarked kittenish: "You dear man! I'm going to let you take me out to the cab." Well, that was the programme from then on. It was the Major and Mrs. Hollister first, with me and J. Bayard trailin' on behind.
But I must tell you more about the Miss Murgatroyds Amelia, Eliza, and Susannah.

Poor Susannah being the youngest the youthful side of sixty and inclined to be kittenish and giddy, is very rarely "Susie."
And like all men of his type he estimated her tenderness for him, her clinging arms, and the lingering passion of her caresses, to be chiefly the outflow of pleased vanity the kittenish satisfaction of being stroked and fondled the sense of her own sex-attractiveness, but of anything deep and closely rooted in the centre of a more than usually sensitive nature he had not the faintest conception, taking it for granted that all women, even clever ones, were more or less alike, easily consoled by new millinery when lovers failed.
No one knew how they lived, but they did live. Every two years they gave a series of parties, and the splendour of these festivals made the town exclaim in one voice: "Well, how do they do it?" But Mrs. Handy, who was steaming the wrinkles out of her face, and assuming more or less kittenish airs in her late thirties, never offered the town an explanation.
May we come in here, or are you too much ashamed of your vices to court inspection?" Walter Butler hastened to open the door, bowing low as he did so, and delivering himself of some gallant nonsense or other. The London lady entered the room with a mincing, kittenish affectation of carriage, casting bold smirks about her, like an Italian dancer.
He cultivated utility in other ways, and it pleased and flattered him to feel that he could afford, morally speaking, to have a kittenish wife. He had within himself a fund of common sense to draw upon, so that to espouse a paragon of wisdom would be but to carry water to the fountain.
Hers was to be different, oh, yes, quite exceptional and perfect, with an intimacy, a mutual helpfulness.... The girls at St. Mary's had all had their emotional experiences, which they confessed to one another; and she had had hers, of course, like her affair with Fosdick; but so innocent, so merely kittenish that they had almost disappeared from memory.
