"How do you know, Ramsay?" retorts Rebecca, turning her face away with a dimple trembling in her chin, albeit it was the Sabbath. "That preacher is too handsome to be sound in his doctrine, Rebecca." Then she grows so mighty prim she must ask which heading of the sermon pleases me best. "I liked the last," I declare; and with that, we are at the turnstile.
"Mamma," said Dimple, "for a colored girl, Bubbles is the nicest I ever saw; but indeed, I should like a white girl to play with, just for a change. Couldn't you get me one?" "Perhaps so," said her mamma. "We will see what can be done." "Good-bye, little girl," said her papa the next morning. "I am going away and will not be back till to-morrow. What shall I bring you? A new doll?"
Have a peach?" "I must!" she breathed. "I can't let the chance slip. O-oh, what a scent!" She reached the peach towards him. "Grand, isn't it!" Jenny discovered for Keith's quizzical gaze an unexpected dimple in each pale cheek. He might have been Adam, and she the original temptress. "Shall I peel it?" "Seems a shame to take it off!" Jenny watched his deft fingers as he stripped the peach.
I'll have on the best table-cloth for breakfast; and along in the forenoon I'll fetch out some macaroni cakes and lager beer; that'll coax her up, I guess." Just then Mrs. Rosenberg down stairs and Dotty Dimple up stairs both fell asleep. One dreamed of running away and being chased by a dog with a hat on his head, who barked "Good-night" as fiercely as a bite.
She had a comfortable figure, but was not stout, here a dimple and there a dimple. Nothing could disturb her. Children, servants, her husband's sermons, district visiting, her Tuesday "at homes," the butcher, the dean's wife, the wives of the canons, the Polchester climate, bills, clothes, other women's clothes over all these rocks of peril in the sea of daily life her barque happily floated.
'Tis manifestly out of keeping with your 'broideries, your pleats, tags, lappets, pearl-buttons, galoons and the rest on't." "'Twould almost seem you do not like me thus," says she frowning down at her finery but with the dimple showing plainer than ever. "Why truly," says I, stooping to take up the jewelled comb where it lay, "I liked your ragged gown better."
"We will have our supper together, because papa is away, and Bubbles can wait on us here." Bubbles had disappeared, but presently came back with a bunch of roses, which she put in the middle of the table. "Why, Bubbles, that is quite fine," said Dimple, and she ate her supper with a relish; after which, the time seemed very short until to-morrow, for she was soon asleep.
The term craniotabes is applied when the bone becomes thin and soft, reverting to its original membranous condition, so that the affected areas dimple under the finger like parchment or thin cardboard; its localisation in the posterior parts of the skull suggests that the disappearance of the osseous tissue is influenced by the pressure of the head on the pillow.
Of course I could have spoken the instant I got on board, perhaps " here a flood of colour dyed her face with a gorgeous conscious crimson, and a dimple faintly came and went at the corner of her mouth, "perhaps I would have spoken. But then, you must remember, you closed my lips!" "My God!" said Captain Jack, and looked at her with a sort of horror.
This last sort of neatness belonged to Isaura, and brought to mind the well-known line of Catullus when on recrossing his threshold he invokes its welcome, a line thus not inelegantly translated by Leigh Hunt, "Smile every dimple on the cheek of Home."
