He might as well have relinquished the chase, for his chances here had grown as faint as those of pretty Dora Cowper whose leg he classically stated he had pulled had grown with him. Ah, well, there is a law of retribution in all things, direct or indirect, visible or invisible. I lay awake a long time contemplating the best way of approaching Grandma Clay in regard to Dawn's singing lessons.
The person addressed, a man about twenty-five years of age with classically formed features, turned hurriedly around; seeing the vicomte, he said in a cold voice: "I am at your service, sir." The vicomte walked toward the street and the man followed. On a deserted corner they both stopped, and the vicomte began: "Monsieur, first I must ask you to tell me your name; I am the Vicomte de Talizac."
General T. J. Jackson on Little Sorrel went up and down between the speaking guns and the waiting infantry. The men, from their couch upon the needles, watched him. Before their eyes war was transfiguring him, and his soldiers called him "Old Jack" and made no reservation. The awkward figure took on a stalwart grace, the old uniform, the boots, the cap, grew classically right.
In her afternoon dress of dainty sprigged silk, with just a touch of austerity in the broad muslin collar and cuffs her curly brown hair simply parted on her brow, and gathered classically on a shapely head her mouth a little troubled, her brow a little puckered over Lady Barnes's discontents she was a very gracious vision.
And yet as you look at her, at those big black somber eyes, at those almost classically regular features, at all that untidy abundance of blackish-brown hair, you think involuntarily "what a pretty girl that might be if she only combed her hair, put on a clean dress, and wasn't in bad temper!" She is tall, she is slender there is a supple grace about her even now she has shapely feet and hands.
I do not know why I have left saying till now that she was a very beautiful woman, classically regular in features, with black hair smooth over her forehead, and with tenderly peering, myopia eyes, always behind glasses, and a smile of angelic kindness.
The very names of Parthenope, Posilippo, Inarime, Sorrento, Capri, have their fascination. There too the orange and lemon groves are more luxuriant; the grapes yield sweeter and more intoxicating wine; the villagers are more classically graceful; the volcanic soil is more fertile; the waves are bluer and the sun is brighter than elsewhere in the land.
"Death is an eternal sleep" was inscribed on the schools; and Reason, represented by a classically dressed woman, was enthroned in the cathedral of Notre Dâme. At the same time a new era was invented, the 22nd of September, 1792; the months had new names, and the decimal measures of length, weight, and capacity, which are based on the proportions of the earth, were planned.
"I never break my word," I said, "especially when such a charming lady is concerned!" Madame Baret was seventeen, of a moderate height, and an exquisite figure; without being classically beautiful, a Raphael could not wish to depict a more enticing face. Her eyes were large and brilliant.
But after the ladies had withdrawn, Harbinger, with that plain-spoken spontaneity which was so unexpected, perhaps a little intentionally so, in connection with his almost classically formed face, uttered words to the effect that, if they did not fundamentally kick that rumour, it was all up with Miltoun. Really this was serious! And the beggars knew it, and they were going to work it.
