I need not repeat the other events of the evening; how forms and features were passed in review; how the jewelled, smooth-skinned, doll-like beauties usurped the admiration of the minute, and how the indefinably sympathetic air of less pretentious belles prolonged their magnetic sway to the close of the night. Holman, the Blind Traveller. Milutinovich, the Poet. Bulgarian Legend.
They grew in large clusters among the bases of the leaves; and Guapo was not long in ascending several trees for the jara is a smooth-skinned palm, and can be climbed and breaking off the spadices, and flinging them to the ground. He had soon collected a bag-full, with which he hurried back to the house.
Before Fra Pacifico can speak, the whole pack of dogs, attracted by the loud voices, gather round the steps before the open window. They are barking furiously. The smooth-skinned, treacherous bull-dog is silent, but he stands foremost. True to his breed, the bull-dog is silent. He creeps in noiselessly his teeth gleam within an inch of Nobili. Fra Pacifico spies him.
We must not think of the smooth-skinned frogs and toads and innocent newts which to-day represent the fallen race of the Amphibia. They were then heavily armoured, powerfully armed, and sometimes as large as alligators or young crocodiles.
They were healthy, smooth-skinned, clear-eyed, and they were young youths like me, learning the way of their feet in the world of men. And they WERE men. No mild saki for them, but square faces illicitly refilled with corrosive fire that flamed through their veins and burst into conflagrations in their heads.
Then she suddenly thrust out both hands towards me across the stretch of water. I could see her smooth-skinned brown fingers, and one wore my ring. She bade me welcome. I bent to my paddle, and would have crashed the canoe up to the shore. But she forestalled me. She was already on her way back to the camp, and if she knew that I had started toward her she did not let me see.
Nevertheless, their pigmentation was peculiar, and what there was of it looked more like a pale orange tint than the ruddiness of the Caucasian. They were well formed, but rather undersized and soft-looking, small-muscled and smooth-skinned, like young girls. Their features were finely chiseled, eyes beady, and nose slightly aquiline.
Beltane saw that he was but a youth, slender and shapely in his rich surcoat and costly mail, the which, laced close about cheek and chin, showed little of his face below the gleaming bascinet, yet that little smooth-skinned and pale. "Sir knight," said Beltane, "free art thou to go hence, nor shall any stay or spoil thee.
We cannot forget, also, that it is next to impossible to prevent the attacks of the curculio upon our smooth-skinned fruits, the Nectarine, Apricot and Plum and the vast amount of vigilance and care required to counteract the invasions of the various other insect pests which visit us, and to obtain even a moderate crop, in many localities, out of doors.
Recently she had grown younger in a smooth-skinned, full-lipped way so much younger that it was spoken of. Something girlish in figure, in spontaneity, in the hesitation of her smile, in the lack of that hard, brilliant confidence which once characterised her, had developed; as though she were beginning her début again, reverting to a softness and charm prematurely checked.
