"What have you been doing to those chaps?" asked Jack, as the horses slowed down and the yell was repeated. "One of them cheeked me, and I hit him with my stick." "Well, we'd better slip away as soon as this thing stops; we don't want to have a row with them here." Unfortunately for the three boys, their steeds stopped just opposite the hostile group.
Zeke thought they would better enter at once before explaining; and truly the large kitchen, with a great fire blazing on the hearth, seemed like heaven. The door leading into the family sitting-room was open, and there was another fire, with the red- cheeked girls and the white-haired grandsire before it, their eyes turned expectantly toward the new-comers.
The cordon was pulled, and through the aperture made by the backward swing of the great door, I caught sight of a ruddy cheeked, fair haired maiden in her early teens, bearing a huge bowl of fresh cream cheese in her outstretched hands.
Henrietta listened with a sort of stupefaction to the cynical answers of the old scoundrel, and her heart grew heavy within her. To think that that merry, rosy cheeked young woman should have killed herself out of grief for her lover. "Then who is carrying on the house?" enquired Squire Gerzson. "Nobody.

Four miles are equal to twenty. It is really an acquisition. I hope you will see our little girl rosy cheeked and plump as a partridge. I rejoice with you at the poor major's return. I grow lazy, and love leisure; and, above all, the privilege of disposing of my own time with quiet and retirement when it suits me.

So he went away and returned after a little, bringing a damsel in richest raiment robed, a maid spear-straight of stature and five feet tall; budding of bosom with eyes large and black as by Kohl traced, and dewy lips sweeter than syrup or the sherbet one sips, a virginette smooth cheeked and shapely faced, whose slender waist with massive hips was engraced; a form more pleasing than branchlet waving upon the top-most trees, and a voice softer and gentler than the morning breeze, even as saith one of those who have described her,
To see Villiers who regards himself as the greatest man in the country, who not only thinks that he regulates every political intrigue in Spain and Portugal, but assumes to give the direction of every military movement also, and tries to dictate to the general on purely military matters quietly cheeked by an ensign, is the best thing I ever saw."

"Polly did?" "Yes, and behaved very badly too. I don't know what's coming to the girl. If I had a temper like that I'd " What Mrs. Clover would do remained conjectural. "It's a good thing," remarked the other, laughing. "Trust Polly to take care of herself. She cheeked you, did she?" They discussed Miss Sparkes very thoroughly.
