But the loveliness of the eyes and hair, of the dark brows, sustaining the broad and delicate forehead, the pale rose and white of the skin, the setting of the head, her wonderful tallness and slenderness, these, instinct as the whole woman was, at the moment, with a passion of defiance, made of her a dazzling and formidable creature.
Richard and Albert Howard were bound together by the strongest of brotherly ties. Richard had inherited his father's bigness and powerful constitution, Albert his mother's slenderness and fragility. But it was the mother who lived the longer, although even she did not attain middle age, and her last words to her older son were: "Richard, take care of Albert."
Shouting "Ha, ha!" and stamping his little feet with tremendous energy, he delivered the point twice or thrice at Captain Dobbin, who parried the thrust laughingly with his bamboo walking-stick. Mr. Stubble, as may be supposed from his size and slenderness, was of the Light Bobs.
But it was not because of her slenderness and clear eyes and bronze hair that Becky held him, it was because of the force within her which baffled him. The guests were leaving.

"She was wearing a white lace frock with a big hat." "Well," said Mr. Hazlewood mildly, "I don't think I have anything against big hats." "She was trailing her hand in the water that he might notice its slenderness of course. Outrageous I call it!" Mr. Hazlewood nodded his head at his indignant sister. "I know that frame of mind very well, Margaret," he remarked. "She cannot do right.
Actæon was charmed contemplating her girlish figure, so sturdy for labor, in which the freshness of youth triumphed over fatigue. Her slenderness, with lines erect and harmonious, reminded him of the elegance of the Tanagra figurines on the tables of the hetæræ of Athens; of the imperious virility of the canephoræ painted in black around Greek vases.
