Women are always alike at bottom; it is only men that are different. A bit of finery would make Rosie happy for a week. Her hair was an everlasting job, so was her skin, which she kept out of the sun and rubbed down very careful with oil.
If Carey had chosen to unveil the truth to herself, she would have owned that Allen, who was always ready, tender and sympathetic to her, was a much greater comfort than his sister; nay, that even little Babie gave her more rest and peace than did Janet, who always rubbed against her whenever they found themselves tete-a-tete or in consultation.
Once her illusions had been rubbed away through daily contact with him, she would undoubtedly awaken to his human faults, and unhappiness would result for both. What Natalie needed for her lasting contentment was a boy her own age whose life would color to match hers. So argued Eliza with that supreme satisfaction which we feel in arranging the affairs of others to suit ourselves.
I took it thankfully and rubbed with energy, the little girl, intensely interested, watching the operation and giving me advice. "There it's all right now a little more on the right there now it's all off." "Are you sure? No green left?" I anxiously asked. "No, it's red all over now," she replied cheerfully.

I accepted the calluses as of long time and a matter of course. I opened my eyes. My shelter was a small cave, no more than three feet in height and a dozen in length. It was very hot in the cave.
The Judge looked even more surprised and puzzled. He rubbed his chin and smiled doubtfully. "Well, Mary," he said, "I think I can promise that if I answer your questions at all I shall answer them truthfully. But I scarcely like to promise to answer them without knowing what they are. A lawyer has a good many secrets intrusted to him and he is obliged to be careful." "I know.

Bog rubbed his eyes, into which the cold but not biting wind had brought the tears, and gazed anxiously into Mr. Minford's apartment. The pale inventor stood a few feet from the window, attentively examining a mass of machinery before him, upon which the light shone strongly.
