He looked up at me, and begged me as plain as plain could be to have pity on him and help him; didn't you, Grimmy? And so I brought him upstairs, and made him comfortable, and now we shall never part. Do you like animals?" "Yes." The door of the room suddenly opened, and there sprang in a fresh-coloured young girl in hat and jacket, short, plump, pretty, and looking about seventeen.
Across its little forehead hung locks of black, straight hair, and its sturdy limbs were vainly endeavoring to free themselves from the lacing of the "blankets." Maarda took the basket, with an expression on her face that was transfiguring. "Yes, this is my little Tenas Klootchman," she said, as she unlaced the bands, then lifted the plump little creature out on to her lap.
That will be a good lesson in arithmetic for us." So Peggy and Alice ran over to old Michael's house, where he was always to be found at his dinner-hour, to tell him the glad news. Mrs. Farrell came to the door. She was a prosperous, comfortable looking person, with a plump, trig figure and smoothly arranged white hair.
So he had a sudden fright, almost at his doorway, when he ran plump upon a big black person standing behind a knoll. It was old Mr. Crow. And Master Meadow Mouse thought he had an odd glitter in his snapping eyes. "I I haven't been taking any corn," Master Meadow Mouse stammered. Nothing but Air OLD Mr. Crow didn't say a single word when Master Meadow Mouse met him face to face in the meadow.
As the infant gurgled itself into silence, she glanced with a fleeting ecstatic smile at Maggie, who smiled back. It was strange how Maggie, now midway between thirty and forty, a tall, large-boned, plump, mature woman, efficient, kindly, and full of common sense it was strange how she always failed to assert herself. She listened now, not seeking notice and assuredly not receiving it.
Bates went on, "she's a little, plump, dark woman, and when she sits down she wiggles and flounces and goes all in a heap like this." Mrs. Bates illustrated by means of the window-seat on the landing. "Yes," assented Jane. She could not reproach Mrs. Bates for thus indulging her sense of humor in order to recoup herself for the tax on her memory. "And when she goes down-stairs, it's like this."
My cornfield is as mellow as a bed of ashes this year; I had a fine field of red-chaff wheat, with full heads, a plump berry, and straw as bright as a dollar; and I wish I could have brought down some of my big pumpkins and melons." "I think I shall like it pretty well, if I live to get there; I love a new country; it gives you more space to breathe in.
The Marquis was a man nearer seventy than sixty, but very hale, and with few signs of age.

His countenance would not have been bad, had not the weight of his marquisate always been there; nor would his heart have been bad, had it not been similarly burdened.
Adelaida always has a handkerchief. And still I cannot resist it. I say, 'There's the hanky! Nevertheless, in two minutes it has worked its way with me. She squeezes it in her poor, plump hand as the tears begin to rise; Fate, or man, is inexorable, so cruel. There is a sob, a cry; she presses the fist and the hanky to her eyes, one eye, then the other.
Barron, meanwhile, showed no trace of a smile, but looked bored if anything, and, with a serious face, handed her the glass, then walked a little way off. He was grave and courteous, but made no attempt at friendship. He had noticed when Joan smiled that her teeth were fine, and that her full face, though sweet enough, was a shade too plump.
