Then it fell again to the coverlet thin, flower-like hand, which in its translucency of flesh seemed to have been created by spirit for its chosen abode. When silence had lasted some moments 'Now that I know he is dead, Emily resumed oh, the sad music of the last word! 'I can bear to hear the manner of it without disguise. Will you tell me the whole truth, Mrs. Baxendale?
Her hands but how shall I write of the flower-like hands of Elaine? They The door-bell pealed portentously through the house, echoing and re-echoing through the empty rooms. No answer. Presently it rang again, insistently, and Elaine, with her snowy palfrey, whisked suddenly out of sight. Gone, except for these few lines! Harlan stifled a groan and the bell rang once more. Heavens!
Of his two great works in marble, the tomb of Benozzo Federighi, Bishop of Fiesole, at San Miniato, and the Cantoria for the Duomo, of his bronze doors for the sacristy there, and his work on the Campanile, I speak elsewhere; but here in the Bargello, and all over Tuscany too, you may see those terra-cotta reliefs of Madonna, of the Annunciation, of the Birth of our Lord, painted first just white, and then blue and white, and later with many colours which are peculiar to him and his school could such flower-like things have been born anywhere but in Italy? and then, if you take them away they fade in the shadows of the North.
Seated in an armchair near the window, but with her back toward it, was what on first view appeared to be a golden-haired child in black; one elbow rested on the arm of the chair, and a childish hand supported the flower-like head. As Ruth hesitated after closing the door behind her, she found a pair of listless violet eyes regarding her from a small white face.
"I wish you would let me show you how to do it," Valerie added. Mary blushed. There had always been to her, in her ruthless hair-dressing, an element of severe candor, the recognition of charmlessness, a sort of homage paid to wholesome if bitter fact. Mrs. Upton was not, in her flower-like satisfaction, one bit vain; but Mary suspected herself of feeling a real thrill of tempted vanity.
Peyssonel, in the extract from his memoir already cited, compares the flower-like animal of the coral to a "poulpe," which is the French form of the name "polypus," "the many-footed," which the ancient naturalists gave to the soft-bodied cuttlefishes, which, like the coral animal, have eight arms, or tentacles, disposed around a central mouth.
Serviss winced at times at the childish flatness of Viola's comment, but her voice was musical and her face flower-like therefore he forgave her. With all his knowledge of the constitution of matter, he was still young and in the mating mood.

It was a thousand pities, indeed; it was impossible for even an enemy to feel otherwise on looking at Tess as she sat there, with her flower-like mouth and large tender eyes, neither black nor blue nor grey nor violet; rather all those shades together, and a hundred others, which could be seen if one looked into their irises shade behind shade tint beyond tint around pupils that had no bottom; an almost standard woman, but for the slight incautiousness of character inherited from her race.
She was much nearer him than she had been in the dusky church, and upon closer view, she seemed even more lovely, more flower-like, more angelic than ever before.
Uncle William followed in her wake, admiring the quick, lithe movements of the tall figure. Now that the flower-like face was turned away, she seemed larger, more vigorous. "A reg'lar clipper, and built for all kinds of weather," said Uncle William as he followed fast. "I wouldn't be afraid to trust her anywheres. She'd reef down quick in a blow."
