Maynard was a beautiful woman, and exceedingly young-looking for her age. There was scarcely a thread of gray in her dark brown hair, and the natural roses still bloomed on her soft cheeks. Marjorie had not seen her grandmother before in full evening attire, and she walked round, gazing at her admiringly. "I don't wonder my father is such a handsome man," she said.
There were the pretty American girls and their marvellously young-looking mammas, both out-Frenching the French in their efforts to look Parisian; there were rows of fat, placid, jewel-laden Argentine mothers, each with a watchful eye on her black-eyed, volcanically calm, be-powdered daughter; and there were the buyers, miraculously dressy in next week's styles in suits and hats of the old-girl type most of them, alert, self-confident, capable.

"I can easily imagine that it might have been told by other lips in harsher terms."

When he had talked with me a little, he said to Mrs.
I have no power over them, and you must make the best of it. Forward! men," continued the officer, saluting Edward as he passed on; and in a minute or two they were far away. "That's well over," observed Edward. "Chaloner and Grenville are too young-looking and too good-looking for Lambert's villains; and a sight of them might have occasioned suspicion.

As we came into the basin a small, young-looking man, to whom I was introduced as the Commandant, met us.
