"Oh, there's one looking right at me!" and she covered her face with her be-ringed hands. "Probably he hasn't seen a pretty girl in a long time," said Paul, for Miss Dixon was pretty, in a way. "Oh!" she exclaimed again and took down her hands. "And one of them is loading his pistol!" cried Miss Pennington. "Oh, dear!"
"Oh, mother!" he said, "little, dear, gallant mother, don't make life too hard for me. I've got to do my job, I've got to find my job." "I've bored you," she wept. Suddenly she was weeping with all the unconcealed distressing grief of a disappointed child. She put her pretty be-ringed little hands in front of her face and recited the accumulation of her woes.
If therefore you have aught else to say of me, pray remove out o' my hearing." This protest Sir Rupert fanned airily aside with be-ringed hand. "I gather," says he, "that you have been at some pains of service to my Lady Brandon in her late dolorous situation here receive my thanks!" "I wish none o' your thanks, sir " "None the less I bestow 'em on my Lady Brandon's behalf. Furthermore "
"This mistral is tiresome," observed the doctor, as the tide of talk flowed up to his end and made a remark necessary. "It tries the nerves of some." He glanced at O'Malley, but it was the fur-merchant who replied, spreading a be-ringed hand over his plate to feel the warmth. "I know it well," he said pompously in a tone of finality; "it lasts three, six, or nine days.
She noticed with a wondering gratitude that Sir Felix was quite pale. "I've only just heard it. The whole countryside will be shocked. Such a popular man as Sir Shawn, such a good landlord and fine specimen of a country gentleman. Upon my word, I'm sorry." She saw that he was, and she put out her fair be-ringed hand and took his, pressing it softly. "Thank you, Sir Felix," she said.
"You blithering idiot!" he exclaimed. Mr. Earles strode into the waiting-room. His face was wreathed in smiles, his be-ringed hand was cordially outstretched. "My dear Miss Pellissier," he said impressively, "this is an unexpected pleasure. Come in! Come in, do. I must apologize for my young puppy of a clerk. If I had known that you were here you should not have been kept waiting for a second."
He listened to himself talk, and when, his chest bulging, his pink chin freshly shaved resting on his white cravat, his be-ringed hand describing in the air noble and demonstrative gestures, one could, if one had the patience to listen to him, make him say all that one wished; for he was convinced that his interlocutor passed an agreeable moment, whose remembrance would never be forgotten.
He had deposited his hat and cloak on one rickety rush-bottomed chair, and drawn another close to the fire. He sat down with one leg crossed over the other, his podgy be-ringed hand wandering with loving gentleness down the length of his shapely calf. He was nothing if not complacent, and his complacency seemed highly to irritate his friend Heron.
I insist," said Abel, looking at Grace Plumer earnestly for a moment, then dropping his eyes upon her very pretty and very be-ringed white hands, where the eyes lingered a little and worshipped in the most evident manner. "Except, then, your own sex," said the little Louisianian, half blushing. "I do them no harm," replied Abel. "No; but you make them jealous."
"Which accounts," I remarked, "for the invasion of Europe!" Mrs. Van Reinberg leaned her fair, little head upon her white be-ringed fingers, and looked steadily at me. I had never for a moment under-estimated her, but she had probably never so much impressed me. There was something Napoleonic about this slow unfolding of her carefully thought-out plans. "Naturally," she answered.
