I had often seen women in tiaras, at the Opera. But I had never talked to a woman in a tiara. Tiaras were symbols to me. Eyes are just a human feature. I fixed mine on the Duchess's. I kept my head by not looking at hers. I behaved as one human being to another. She seemed very intelligent. We got on very well.
Thick, waving locks of golden hair." "That is witchcraft!" the baron exclaimed. "Your Majesty is painting her portrait in words exactly, feature by feature. Her hair is like that of Titian's daughter." "Apparently you have not failed to scrutinize her closely," remarked the Emperor sharply. "Has she already associated with the gentlemen of the court?"
She will descant on its beauties by the hour; will point them out to you distinctly, lest they might escape notice. The hair, the nose, the mouth, and, in short, every feature, limb, and muscle, is admirable and is admired. To all which I agreed. Jerome Bonaparte is not here; nor is it certain that he is on the continent.
I found this projecting feature of Christian theology, like a sort of hard spike, the dogmatic insistence that God was personal, and had made a world separate from Himself. The spike of dogma fitted exactly into the hole in the world it had evidently been meant to go there and then the strange thing began to happen.

It was also under the roof of the Countess Waldersee that the present emperor became imbued with that very religious, one might almost say pietist disposition, which has since been so marked a feature of his character.
This notion of purity plays a great part in other old religions also; it is here that we see its original meaning most clearly. Another great feature of the doctrine of purity in the Vendidad is that the elements, fire, earth, and water, are holy, and to defile them in any way is the most grievous of sins.
Naturally the Arts and Crafts had made quite a feature of the Alberta author and poet who would attend the Convention.
Finally Ned handed a torn print to Frank, pointing out a single feature as he did so. "You see the tree in the foreground?" he asked. "Yes, of course." "Now follow along back to the bush at the left and in the rear." "I see the bush," Frank said. "What else do you see there?" Frank bent closer over the print. "Is that a face there?" he asked. "It certainly is a face."
In practical instruction, the extending of the compass of the voice is usually treated, rather loosely perhaps in most cases, as a feature of the registers. Methods vary greatly in points of detail, but in most of them instruction on this topic is given along the same general lines.
