The following forenoon the liveryman at the Junction brought to Millville a passenger who had arrived by the morning train a quiet, boyish-looking man with a shock of brick-red hair and a thin, freckled face. He was driven directly to the Merrick farm, where Uncle John received him cordially, but with surprise, and at once favored the new arrival with a long interview in his private room.
Afterwards you played the part of a youthful Circe, I remember. You should be more experienced now." She flushed under the cool, satirical tone. It seemed as though he neglected no opportunity of impressing on her the poor estimation in which he held her. Her thoughts flew back to a sunlit glade in a wood and to the grey-eyed, boyish-looking painter who had kissed her and called her "Witch-child!"
Still, I did not mind it as much as some, for I cared but little for gentlemen's society, and had frequently declared that I should never marry. "Toward the last of July, Mrs. Le Vert's brother came to visit her. He was a handsome, boyish-looking youth, six months older than myself just out of college full of life and very fond of pretty girls, particularly if they chanced to be wealthy."
My own desk being in the foreign editor's room, I witnessed this grim occurrence. At half-past five a boyish-looking lieutenant sauntered in and asked for the managing editor, who was sitting with his feet on a desk. "Good-evening," said the German. "You have disobeyed orders in getting out this edition. I am sorry." The editor stared at him, not understanding. "Well, what's the answer?"
Harry and Nicolas were also there not handcuffed, yet quite as plainly prisoners. "This must be a part of the army that Don Luis also owns!" flashed through Reade's mind. From behind the group stepped forth a boyish-looking young fellow at whose side dangled a sword. He was a very young lieutenant. "Are these your men?" inquired Tom. "Yes," nodded the lieutenant. "Why have they stopped me?"
They were two in number, one an old woman with a sweet face and snow-white hair; the other a tall, boyish-looking chap, undoubtedly the Jo who had been farmhand to Mr. Rollins, and was now under the dreadful ban of suspicion. When Paul first caught sight of these two they were bending over the table, on which something evidently lay that had been holding their attention. Jo was talking excitedly.
He is very boyish-looking and young, but there is something so dignified and gentle in his manner that one feels he is cut out to be a staid old family physician, and that in time he will grow into the love and confidence of his patients like Maclaren's Doctor of the Old School. But dear old Doctor Tremont is the flower of that family. We all fell in love with him the moment we saw him.
You will be robbed or burnt in your beds!" Olivia could not conceal her amusement. A vivid remembrance of the flushed, weary young face of the wanderer rose before her; it was so boyish-looking with the fair hair and golden brown moustache. "I am sure he does not drink," she returned, trying vainly to suppress a smile; but this contradiction did not please Mr. Gaythorne.
"It's wearing an officer's uniform." "Then undoubtedly you chanced to glance at an officer of the Navy," Darrin replied, sarcastically soothing. "Brace up, Dan." "But he's only a kid!" remonstrated Dan. "And he wear a lieutenant's insignia!" "Bosh! Some officers are quite boyish-looking," remarked Farley. "Come on out, fellows; I haven't forgotten how to salute an officer when I see one."
It was true that Uncle Arthur was a very boyish-looking uncle; but he was tall and big, and he had been preaching for a year now, and David thought that he preached very good sermons indeed. Besides, he had been in the Spanish War, one of the youngest privates in Uncle Stephen's company, and he ought to know all about it, even though he had really been in very few engagements.
