Here and there those cliffs are seamed with water-courses and gullies, while at other points they are rounded off into spurs of green spurs now coated with fleece-like tufts of young undergrowth, now studded with the stumps of felled trees, now covered with timber which has, by some miracle, escaped the woodman's axe.
Their summits are rounded, as for the most part in granitic mountains, and covered with thick forests of the laurel-tribe.
She posed Harmony behind the curtain, arranged lights, drew down the chiffon so that a bit more of the girl's rounded bosom was revealed. Then she drew the curtain aside and stood smiling. Le Grande paid the picture the tribute of a second's silence. Then: "Exquisite!" she said in English. Then in halting German: "Do not change a line. It is perfect." Harmony must walk in the gown, turn, sit.

Elsie's big blue eyes rounded.
The swerve had the effect of overturning the cariole gently, and emptying its contents at our feet, and out from the mass of wraps and furs there arose not a red-headed six-footer, but a young and sprightly girl, with clear dark complexion, a neat, rounded little figure, and a pair of magnificent black eyes, which, at the moment, were opened to their utmost with an expression of intense amazement.
The Randolph had the weather-gage of the Yarmouth by this time; and Seymour shifted his helm slightly, rounded in his braces a little, and ran down with the wind a little free and on a line parallel to the course of his enemy, but going in a different direction. He lifted the glass again to his eye, and looked long and earnestly at the woman's figure half hidden by the rail on the ship.
