Straight and slender, spiritedly gracious in bearing, with gray eyes questioning us from beneath lashes of crinkly black, she was a radiant figure as she stood facing us, with a coat of bright-blue velvet thrown over her rosy gown. "Beg pardon, miss," said the policeman, brightly, "this gintleman's been robbed."
On the 18th, another advance was made by the divisions of Smith's corps, a part of the Second corps, and our own Second division. Smith's troops advanced spiritedly across the plain, facing a withering fire of grape and canister, but were unable to come up to the rebel works.
In a front car was Peter Sherman, of Pawtucket, R.I. He was tall and broad shouldered and his sun-browned face was shaded by a big soft hat. He was on his way from Texarkana, way down in Texas, and he too was at Conemaugh. He was a passenger on the first section of the day express. He had not slept a wink on the way down from Altoona, and he told his story spiritedly.
I ought to know, of course, but I forget. Come, brush up my memory a bit, won't you?" "Your memory seems indeed very poor all at once," said Margery, spiritedly, "considering the fact that you have known me since I was a little child" and, in spite of her efforts at self-control, big tears brimmed over the pretty eyes and rolled down the round cheeks. In an instant Kendale was on his feet.
By happy chance, which in a generous mood I ascribed to Janet's good nature, I came across them at a seven miles' distance. They were talking spiritedly: what was wonderful, they gave not much heed to me: they seemed on edge for one another's conversation: each face was turned to the other's, and after nodding an adieu, they resumed the animated discourse.
It was talked of at the assembly the two men were a good deal together. And if you don't mean anything, Cynthia, you'll get yourself gossiped about, and you'll spoil some lives," declared Polly spiritedly. This thing had been seething in her mind, and she was going to have it out at the risk of breaking friendship. "I don't want to spoil any one's life.
They can make a great deal of trouble if they wish." "Poor Daddy!" Ruth sighed. "Oh, but I mustn't make you worry this way," he said spiritedly. "I shall find some way to fight this case. I'll never give in to that scoundrel." "I wonder where he is?" mused Alice. "We thought he was injured in the accident, and would not bother you." "This notice does not mention him," replied Mr.
"My dear," Hamilton remarked dryly, as his wife paused, "you have omitted one salient qualification of the modern woman: she is, preëminently an orator. Why, you, yourself, are a feminine Demosthenes nothing less." But he abandoned, his tone of raillery, as he continued: "And so, what you've been doing that's your idea of partnership, is it?" "Yes," Cicily declared, spiritedly.
Englishmen of the rank which in bygone times had not associated itself with trade had begun at least to trifle with it to consider its potentialities as factors possibly to be made useful by the aristocracy. Countesses had not yet spiritedly opened milliners' shops, nor belted Earls adorned the stage, but certain noblemen had dallied with beer and coquetted with stocks.
The confusion now became considerable, and it was apparent, that the whole had been a pre-concerted scheme. Several persons, leaping upon the table, attempted to extinguish the great lustre of the salon, in which bold attempt, they were most spiritedly resisted by some of the other players and the gens-d'arme, who had by this time arrived in force.
