A feeling of infinite deference, of intense but reserved adoration, flows and spreads about this Virgin, who, with Her arms crossed over Her bosom, bends Her little dove-like head, with downcast eyes and a rather long nose, under a veil. She resembles the Apostle St.
"Never deceive your father!" said the Sister, almost sternly; "but," darting her gray eyes right into those dove-like orbs, "give me five minutes' start IF YOU REALLY LOVE SIR CHARLES BASSETT." With these words she carried off the letter; and Bella ran, blushing, panting, trembling, to her father, and clung to him.
Catharine Maxwell and her cousin Louis were more like brother and sister than Hector and Catharine; but Mathilde was gentle and dove-like, and formed a contrast to the gravity of Hector and the vivacity of Louis and Catharine. Hector and Louis were fourteen strong, vigorous, industrious, and hardy, both in constitution and habits. The girls were turned of twelve.
"I asked you this morning if you would take a drive, and you declined." "I changed my mind." "Very abruptly, indeed, it seemed. Since you took so much touble to annoy my friend, it's a pity you failed." "I don't believe I failed. He's probably as cross as you are about it, only he can keep it to himself." "Dove-like creatiah! thanks. Will you please drive while I light a cigar?"
The matter is referred to King Dermod, who pronounces, in high court at Tara, the famous decision which has become a proverb in Ireland, that "to every cow belongs her own calf." St. Columba, who does not seem at this time to have possessed the dove-like temper which his name, according to his disciples, indicates, threatens to avenge upon the king his unjust decision.
There is but one resource for such a martyr. He must do "a perisher." That is precisely what the master of a lonely boat in an odd angle of the Coral Sea was doing when a joyful sail appeared a dove-like messenger from civilisation and shops. It was a pitiable famine. No one had had a smoke for a week.
The steeple-chase into Cuzco had been a fine headlong thing, considering the torrent, the trench, the wounded horse, the lovely lady, with her agonizing fears, mounted behind Kate, together with the meek dove-like dawn: but the finale crowded together the quickest succession of changes that out of a melodrama can ever have been witnessed.
"I don't believe a word of it," protested Nicholas. "He isn't much good, eh?" "Why, he's a brick," said Nicholas. "He's a cad," said Tom. Dudley laughed and blew a cloud of smoke in the air. "Well, she's a daisy herself, and as good as gold. She's the kind of woman to flirt herself hoarse and then settle down into dove-like domesticity. But what about Eugie? Is she really grown up?
With all his scheming and cringing he fell foul of everybody, always saying some biting remark with dove-like gentleness. Ministers, generals, fortunate people and their families, were the most ill-treated. He had, as it were, usurped the right of saying and doing what he pleased; nobody daring to be angry with him. The Grammonts alone were excepted.
The cigar was delicious, the air balmy and pleasant, his digestion happy, the society unexceptionably aristocratic a step had just been gained, and his consideration in the town and the country round improved, by the occurrences of the evening, and his whole system, in consequence, in a state so serene, sweet and satisfactory, that I really believe there was genuine moisture in his pink, dove-like eyes, as he lifted them to the heavens, and murmured, 'Beautiful, beautiful! And he mistook his sensations for a holy rapture and silent worship.
