Secretly the manicurist would laugh and ridicule; in her smooth white face and twinkly eardrops was the story of what she would think of such a domestic fool; of the woman who was the slave of man and home; who had lost her looks and hope in the servitude of married poverty.
Around this woman's neck glittered row on row of beads, and she wore a great flame-coloured turban, and long gold eardrops dangled to her shoulders against the glossy blackness of her cheeks, and bracelets tinkled on her polished arms, which were mighty shapely, though black.
Celie. Well, she has nothing but the diamond eardrops. Suppose Vauquier is left alone to guard Mlle. Celie while the other two ransack Mme. Dauvray's room. She sees her chance. The girl cannot stir hand or foot to save herself. Vauquier tears the eardrops in a hurry from her ears and there I have my drop of blood just where I should expect it to be. But now follow this!
"What was she like?" cried Dick eagerly, "and which way did she go?" "Down the Market Place, and she was belonging to one of the shows. She was bigger'n you, and she had a yellow scarf on and eardrops." The girl on the caravan whose master had wanted Pat! Dick had the clue now, but how could he recover his treasure?
Hence the excuse to go to Mlle. Celie's room. If the eardrops are found in the pot of cold cream, it would only be thought that Mlle. Celie had herself hidden them there for safety. Again it is conjecture, and I wish to make sure. So I tell Vauquier she can go away, and I leave her unwatched. I have her driven to the depot instead of to her friends, and searched.
Had he not made rich gifts to the Church? Had he not gone on foot to the shrine of Our Lady of Montserrate with a splendid votive offering a pair of eardrops, a necklace, and a crucifix, all of diamonds that quivered in the sunlight like drops of purest water?
We noticed that she used plenty of hot water and clean rags, and that she rubbed the glass until it sparkled, leaning perilously sideways on the ladder to detect elusive streaks. Our keenest housekeeping eye could find no fault with the way Blanche Devine washed windows. By May, Blanche Devine had left off her diamond eardrops perhaps it was their absence that gave her face a new expression.
I opened up a gross or two of the Brazilians and made Mame put them on rings, brooches, necklaces, eardrops, bracelets, girdles, and lockets. She flashed and sparkled like a million-dollar princess until she had pink spots in her cheeks and almost cried for a looking-glass.
If you say 'yes' I can think of something wonderful to do!" "What is it?" asked Waitstill, relenting at the sight of the girl's eager, roguish face. "PIERCE MY EARS!" cried Patty. "Say you will!" "Oh! Patty, Patty, I am afraid you are given over to vanity! I daren't let you wear eardrops without father's permission." "Why not? Lots of church members wear them, so it can't be a mortal sin.
Here are beads and trinkets of the goodly stones, pins and collars, bracelets and eardrops, white, yellow, and purple," she said, uncovering her basket, where were arranged various ornaments made of Derbyshire spar.
