Anton, a flaxen-haired youngster, arose, saluted like a wooden soldier, and intoned the following monologue: "Man is an animal in the process of evolving into a god. The method of this evolution is a struggle in which the weak perish and the strong survive. First in this process of man's evolution came the savage, who lived with the lions and the apes.
The flaxen-haired man was one of those people in whose character, at first sight, there seems to lurk a certain grain of stubbornness so much so that, almost before one has begun to speak, they are ready to dispute one's words, and to disagree with anything that may be opposed to their peculiar form of opinion.
It was speedily apparent, however, that the young gentleman's estimate of their services was not entirely based upon their present performance. With his eyes still fixed upon the almanac and a sardonic smile upon his dark face, he uttered a single word "Parker!" A flaxen-haired clerk, perched at the further end of the high glistening desk, gave a violent start, and looked up with a scared face.
There, in the open field, were two children: the one a boy, of six or seven years old; the other a little flaxen-haired, blue-eyed girl, of five. They were quietly picking flowers. "What are you doing here?" Percy asked, in astonishment. He spoke in French and, receiving no answer, repeated the question in German. "What are you doing here?"
Come along, and I will personally conduct you." "No names, please!" said Holmes, as we knocked at Gilchrist's door. A tall, flaxen-haired, slim young fellow opened it, and made us welcome when he understood our errand. There were some really curious pieces of mediaeval domestic architecture within.

Little flaxen-haired Eva Gray, eleven-year-old daughter of Nolan Gray, arose and said that Jesus had saved her and that she aimed to spend her life for him, as had Grandma Gray.
Not a few of those who bear a prominent part in the government of our country more than one of the first men of the nation men whose names are now heard in connection with the highest office of the people twenty years ago, occupied a place as humble in the scale of influence, as that flaxen-haired son of the stoop-shouldered emigrant.
For the Herr Doctor was a regular man, and always appeared at his window at the same hour, rain or shine. And when Simpelmayer mended the well-worn shoes that came to him periodically from across the way, he was sure that the flaxen-haired student would not call over to know if they were finished until the sun was well down and the day far spent.
But the fates are ladies, and not of course that it follows occasionally spiteful. It is very rash indeed to be ungallant enough to defy them they have such an unpleasant habit of accepting the challenge. Mr. Bultitude had hardly got clear of the groups scattered about the field, when he met a small flaxen-haired boy, who was just coming down to join the game.
His soldier-service in the colony was not of long duration. A certain cherry-cheeked, flaxen-haired Gertrude the daughter of a rich boor had taken a liking to the young lieutenant; and he in his turn became vastly fond of her. The consequence was, that they got married.
