You'd be entertaining your dearest enemies, serene in the consciousness that your house was a credit to your good management; and behold, Mary Magdalen in the drawing-room door, with her wig askew and her hands rolled in her apron: "Oh, Miss Sophy!" "Well?" say you, resignedly, with a feigned smile; "what is it, Mary Magdalen?" "Miss Sophy, you know we-all's sugah?" "Yes."
Thorn gave him a searching glance, and then, seeing he was resolute, shrugged contemptuously. The huntsman blew his horn, the dogs were drawn off, and Gerald followed the others across the field. Grace, however, sat down on a fallen tree to rest her foot and for a minute or two thought herself alone. Then she rose as Askew came through the gap in the hedge.
Well, then I'd like to suggest that your hat is rampantly askew. Harrowing scenes aren't good for millinery. Yes, that's straight. Now do haul up a chair, and we'll proceed to talk this thing out to the bitter end. There's no denying that I've made a mess of life by my own recklessness; but apparently I've got to go on living, just the same.
Grace's foot was getting worse, and sitting down on a slab of the slate stile, she glanced at her companion. "I imagine it needed some pluck to stop the hunt," she said. "For one thing, you were alone; nobody agreed with you." Askew smiled. "Opposition sometimes makes one obstinate. But do you think it's hard to stand alone?" "Yes," said Grace, impulsively.

It was a quarter to nine; down below, the room, which was lined with mirrors set in gilt frames, was filled with light; knives and forks still tapped upon the plates, but the hour being late many diners leant across the strewn tablecloths and talked, or sat a little askew in their chairs and listened.
"Monsieur Higgins est tout pour les dames." "To be sure he is," cried Mr. Love; "all the English are, especially with that coloured hair; a lady who likes a passionate adorer should always marry a man with gold-coloured hair always. What do you say, Mademoiselle Adele?" "Oh, I like fair hair," said Mademoiselle, looking bashfully askew at Monsieur Goupille's peruque.
For instance she noted that Mrs. Brenning was on the other side of grandma, and wondered whether she were atoning for the sins of her chickens against Mrs. Jones's tomato-vines; she noticed, too, that Mrs. Brenning's hat had become askew, which gave her a queer, unsuitable, rakish look. Yet Missy didn't feel like laughing. She felt like closing her eyes and waiting to be born anew.
It was with these questions ringing in his brain, then, that Scott Brenton, after his old fashion, shut his teeth askew and awaited the still distant homecoming of his old-time idol. He gained the slimmest sort of comfort by remembering how characteristic it all was of the boy he used to know. That Reed Opdyke was very badly broken, no one, seeing him, could deny.
As Peter stood up he saw that the patched quilts were all askew over her shapeless bulk. Evidently, she had not been resting well. Peter's conscience smote him again for worrying his mother with his courtship of Cissie, yet what could he do? If he had wooed any other girl in the world, she would have been equally jealous and grieved.
There was a lady, ANNE ASKEW, in Lincolnshire, who inclined to the Protestant opinions, and whose husband being a fierce Catholic, turned her out of his house.
