The faintest flecks of pink made her face youthful. Miss Theodosia was a good-looking woman always, but, animated, her face was really lovely. John Bradford was better used to paper women, like paper babies, but his taste recognized flesh-and-blood attractiveness. He had always been a lonely man until now. "I'm having a beautiful time," he sighed.
He looked as much like an icily regular, splendidly null, bronze statue as a flesh-and-blood young man could possibly look, for that, no doubt, is his conception of the part of a well-trained "shuvver"; and he did not seem aware of my existence as he stood, cap in hand, ready for orders. As for me, I flatter myself that I was equally admirable in my own métier.
All the time you were engaged you were as haughty as if you were honorin' him, instead of his honorin' you! Since you've been my daughter-in-law, I have no cause to complain of you, only it's the feelin', and your settin' quiet and far away, when a flesh-and-blood woman would have clawed that viscountess's hair! Gussie'd never have been after her if you'd show'd a little more affection.
Yesterday you took me for a foster-brother, and I hope that you will always let me do for you as I would for a real flesh-and-blood sister." "I promise, and I will always do the same for you if I can, dear Don," she whispered softly, adding, "but somehow to-night oh please don't laugh at me now somehow to-night I feel more like ... like a mother, than a sister to you."

"That was a wonderfully brave thing you did, saving your lover's life that way," she said admiringly. "I wish I had known you. I think we would have been good friends. We would have had no end of fun swimming together. Could you do Trudgeon, and Australian Crawl? Or couldn't you swim?
Fancy being less afraid of a thing that might be a ghost than you are of a real flesh-and-blood uncle, who is really quite a dear old man!" "It does seem silly," admitted Marjory, "but it's no good pretending it isn't true, because it is." They went to the old wing next morning.
The dancers were to him not flesh-and-blood women, but magical creatures, and yet he was stirred to a new excitement too. As he sat there all the sense of poise with which he usually so confidently faced the affairs of life, and which, far from failing him, generally served him only too well, began to sway and grow many-coloured.
Hawthorne admires, but rather of the healthy, well-developed flesh-and-blood character of British feminine beauty might redeem a good deal of irregularity of features.
Venice got as far as Titian and Paul Veronese and Tintoretto, great colorists, mark you, magnificent on the flesh-and-blood side of Art, but look over to Florence and see who lie in Santa Crocea, and ask out of whose loins Dante sprung! Oh, yes, to be sure, Venice built her Ducal Palace, and her Church of St.
But still the flesh-and-blood Aaron sat on, and though the rowers cried so acutely that the invisible Aaron almost understood their very language, still the Aaron seated at the side heard nothing, and his elbow struck against the third stake. This was almost too much.
