She has tried to make it straight and simple, as every woman should, but the angels seem to have curled it here and mussed it there, so that all her care cannot hide its wanton waves. Her face is full of life and health, so open, so candid, that there you read her heart, and you know that it is as good as she is fair.
He knew that she believed him, and he was glad; that she had to believe him, because his story bore the impress of truth. It was not something that he could have made up. "And while your picture was lying there, Wade and this Purnell girl were making goo-goo eyes at each other. Why, it was she that rode out to warn him that we were after Santry." Helen's lips curled.
Trent had come straight from Ascot, straight indeed from his interview with Francis, and was still wearing his racing-glasses. "I wish to see Mr. Da Souza," Trent said. "Is he in?" "I believe so, sir," the boy answered. "What name?" "Trent! Mr. Scarlett Trent!" The door of an inner office opened, and Da Souza, sleek and curled, presented himself.
Tendrils which have caught nothing, spontaneously curl up to a close helix after the interval of several days. Those which have curled round some object, soon become a little thicker and tougher. The long and thin main peduncle, though spontaneously moving, is not sensitive and never clasps a support.
He was turned slantwise from the nightlight on the washstand so that it showed his yellowish skin under the lifted shirt. The white half-face hung by itself on the darkness. When he left off scratching and moved towards the cot she screamed. Mamma took her into the big bed. She curled up there under the shelter of the raised hip and shoulder.
He used to sketch in water-colours, and I had plenty of work developing photographs in a delightful little dark room, where I lived and enjoyed as many skins of water as I could use, till I had to stop and pack my celluloid negatives like artificial flowers, for they curled up and the films contracted and split, from the alkaline water. I had to put glycerine on them when I reached Aden.
His answer was a shrug with his palms extended and a short, disclamatory "Ah." He started to resume his walk, but turned to her again and said: "Why did they make that law? Well, they made it to keep the two races separate." Madame Delphine startled the speaker with a loud, harsh, angry laugh. Fire came from her eyes and her lip curled with scorn. "Then they made a lie, Père Jerome! Separate!
"Like the light in the window for the unreturning sailor," somewhat cynically remarked the Big Financier. "Did many come to the Manor on that New Year's Day?" "But yes, many, monsieur. Some came from kindness, and some because they were curious " "And Monsieur Dolores?" The lips of the Clerk of the Court curled, "He went about with a manner as soft as that of a young cure.
She's curled up, such a delicious black ball, on my bed; you couldn't you couldn't have the heart! I'll take you up and introduce you I'll do everything proper!" The dog looked up at her, with its soft, quiet eyes, as though it weighed her pleadings. "There," she said triumphantly. "It's all right he winked. Come along, my dear, and let's make real friends."
Her figure is slight and her ankles are my delight, but her crowning glories, which I have purposely left till last, are her eyes.
