Why did n't she come, too?" asked Polly, trying to look demure, while her eyes danced in spite of her. "Afraid of spoiling her crinkles;" and Tom smiled, for this base betrayal of confidence made him feel his own man again. "You and I don't mind dampness. I 'm much obliged to you for coming to take care of me."
I happened to meet Bobbie in Piccadilly, and he asked me to come back to dinner at the flat. And, like a fool, instead of bolting and putting myself under police protection, I went. When we got to the flat, there was Mrs. Bobbie looking well, I tell you, it staggered me. Her gold hair was all piled up in waves and crinkles and things, with a what-d'-you-call-it of diamonds in it.
They were rounding a curve now, so that they swayed face to face, nose to nose. A few crinkles, frequent with him of late, came out in rays from his eyes. "Is it anything you you couldn't say in front of ma?" "Yes." He inserted two fingers into his collar, rearing back his head. "Anything wrong, Clara?" "You mean is anything right."
Her fingers closed on something round and hard like a marble, which in the moonlight shone with little bright flashes and crinkles of gold and blue and rose. Hortense knew it was some precious stone. As she sat with it in her hand, she heard the soft patter of feet along the hall, and in a moment two great green eyes shone in the doorway.
The rich fragrance of the gold pomander wrapped with it filled the air like a vivifying elixir. Phillida gathered up the braid with a cry of envious rapture. "Oh! The gorgeous thing! How do some lucky girls have hair like that? If it was unbound, my two hands could not hold it all. What a pity to have cut it! Look, Ethan, how it crinkles and glitters."
Vice-Presidents—Messrs. Leaver and Scroo. ‘MR. CRINKLES exhibited a most beautiful and delicate machine, of little larger size than an ordinary snuff-box, manufactured entirely by himself, and composed exclusively of steel, by the aid of which more pockets could be picked in one hour than by the present slow and tedious process in four-and-twenty.
