The artists all admired the change of expression on the dancer's sweet face, where faint distaste gave way to violent repulsion, fright and stark horror. As if a great hand had tossed her, she flew to the outer limits of the circle of light. But a force compelled her to return to the flower. Mara no longer followed sweet scents.
The dancer's strength is in his feet; the blacksmith's in his arms; the market porter is trained to carry loads; the singer works his larynx; and the pianist hardens his wrist.
Two or three youngsters swerved aside with frightened snorts, but as he came up behind a laboring mare she paused in her flight to let drive with both heels. Alcatraz barely escaped the danger with a sidestep light as a dancer's and shortened his gallop. He could not punish the mare for her impudence; besides, he needed time to rearrange his thoughts.
Not confining herself alone to these traditional devices, she often creates realistic figures of common objects such as her grass brush, wooden weaving fork, a stalk of corn, a bow, an arrow or a plume of feathers from a dancer's mask.

"The sick child could not get the fall which had frightened her so terribly out of her head.

He merely watched with unchanging intentness the face that gleamed, ashen-white, above the shimmering metallic green tights that clothed the dancer's slim body. The noise ceased as the wild tarantella proceeded.
"I'm sure I don't know whose place they are to take, the serpentine dancer's or mine," said Jack, as if he were studying a problem. "How does your experiment get on, Miss Tavish?" Carmen looked up quickly. "Oh, I haven't any experiment," said Miss Tavish, shaking her head. "It's just Mr. Delancy's nonsense." "I wish I had an experiment. There is so little for women to do.
The duchess plays the courtesan in her own house and this disgusts Beaurivage and makes him amend his way. Then there's an awfully funny QUID PRO QUO, when Tardiveau arrives and is under the impression that he's at an opera dancer's house." "And what does Geraldine do in it all?" interrupted Nana. "Geraldine?" repeated Bordenave in some embarrassment.
She clung to her companion, chattering vivaciously; then, when the rose du Barry had been matched, she suggested tea. "We'll run right over to the Waldorf my car is outside." But Lorelei declined, explaining lamely that she did not care for public places. "Really?" "Really. People point out one and I get enough of that." The dancer's expression and tone changed abruptly.
