A pair of dark, bushy, and jet-black, silken whiskers, that were in singular contrast to eye-lashes and brows of almost feminine beauty and softness, aided also in giving a decided expression to a face that might otherwise have been wanting in some of that character which is thought essential to comeliness in man.
Serafina, affecting indifference, but noting everything carefully from under her lowered eye-lashes, promised herself to supplant the soubrette in the marquis's favour, feeling that this great seignior was her own legitimate prey, and ought to have devoted himself to her in the first place, instead of weakly yielding to the vulgar blandishments of the pretty waiting-maid, as he should no longer be permitted to do if she had any power.
She had been educated at Mrs. Somebody's seminary in Mountjoy-square had been taught to dance by Montague and had learned French from a Swiss governess with a number of similar advantages a very pretty figure dark eyes long eye-lashes and a dimple and last, but of course least, the deserved reputation of a large fortune.
This little chap had lived in my arms a good part of its small life, and often I could soothe away its troubles and get it to laugh through the tear-dews on its eye-lashes when even its mother couldn't. Seats at it were worth well, you would never believe the figure, so it is no use to state it.

Margaret was in a state of almost trembling eagerness, while Mr. Bell discussed his plan with her aunt Shaw, who was first startled, then doubtful and perplexed, and in the end, yielding rather to the rough force of Mr.

She answered in the tone in which she might have scolded a child: "Will you be quiet?" These were the first words of flirtation they had ever exchanged. "Come," said Jean, much agitated.
Here we have been the happiest party in the world, and this odious, selfish creature breaks it up!" Miss Bell's long eye-lashes looked down toward her tea-cup: and Warrington blushed hugely but did not speak. Neither did Miss Bell speak: but when he blushed she blushed too. "You ask him to come, my dear," said the benevolent old gentleman, "and then perhaps he will listen to you " "Why should Mr.

"I hear the eulogy, I know the sonnet," said Violetta, smiling, and described the points of a brunette: the thick black banded hair, the full brown eyes, the plastic brows couching over them; it was Vittoria's face: Violetta was a flower of colour, fair, with but one shade of dark tinting on her brown eye-brows and eye-lashes, as you may see a strip of night-cloud cross the forehead of morning.
