For a considerable portion of the way, where our travellers passed, the occupation of the inhabitants was that of braiding straw for bonnets; and here every body seemed to be braiding.
Her head was turned backward a little to one side that she might more easily reach the great red golden skein. In that entrancing attitude the reflection of the nether lip of which John had spoken so fondly came distinctly to Dorothy's notice. She paused in the braiding of her hair and held her face close to the mirror that she might inspect the lip, whose beauty John had so ardently admired.
Braiding's, and the glance of her serious face showed what the crushing strain of it was. "I think he might have told me." "Well, sir. I'm very sorry. Very sorry.... But you know what Braiding is." G.J. felt that that was just what he did not know, or at any rate had not hitherto known. He was hurt by Braiding's conduct. He had always treated Braiding as a friend.
Diccon, still on his knees at his task, looked too; and my lord, turning from his contemplation of the distant kingdom of Accomac; and Mistress Percy, one hand shading her eyes, the slender fingers of the other still immeshed in her long dark hair which she had been braiding. They stared at the ship in silence until my lord laughed. "Conjure us on board at once, captain," he cried.
I fight tomorrow with Count M. If you do not see me again, pray for the soul of Varhely." Count Varhely had sent this despatch before going to keep his appointment with Michel Menko. It had been arranged that they were to fight in a field near Pistoja. Some peasant women, who were braiding straw hats, laughed as they saw the men pass by.
So when Sue had undressed and dressed her two dolls, combing and braiding their hair, she said to Bunny: "Oh, let's do something else now." "All right," replied her brother. "What shall we do?" "Can't you think of some fun?" Sue wanted to know. Bunny rubbed his nose. He often did that when he was thinking. Then he cried: "Let's ask mother to let Bunker Blue take us out in the boat.
The third of August 1759 rose bright, calm, and clear: it was the morning of the trial; and when Ellinor stole into her sister's room, she found Madeline sitting before the glass, and braiding her rich locks with an evident attention and care. "I wish," said she, "that you had pleased me by dressing as for a holiday. See, I am going to wear the dress I was to have been married in."
And just as the cord would be incomplete, just as it would lack strength, if any of the strands were to be omitted, or if the braiding were to be haphazard, so the life would be incomplete, one-sided, weak, should these three processes not go on side by side under the fostering care of an intelligent unifying agency.
"I wish three things: that there had not been a hurricane lately, that canoes could be converted into three masters, and that Miss Sophia may be Queen of England." "Granted," cried Jack. And laying hold of a wreath of violets that the young girl had been braiding, he solemnly placed it on her head. "You will make her too vain," said Mrs. Wolston.
Mayaro shrugged his contempt of the St. Regis hunter; the Oneida youth sat industriously braiding his first trophy; the others had rekindled the embers of the dead man's fire and were now parching his raw corn and dividing the baked river-trout into six portions.
