She wore a silken brocade with little broidered roses here and there, a bodice of the same, cut square over a girl-like neck, white, and not yet filled up. Her long gloves were held up to the sleeve by tightens of plaited white horsehair, which held a red rosebud in each tie; and her hair was braided with a ribbon, and set high in coils on her head, with but little powder.
The brightness in her own eyes was reflected in that of her chums. Girl-like, they found exquisite happiness in being thus appreciated. "We'd better be starting," Jane presently proposed. "We could get only one taxi, so four of us will have to go first and four more in a second load." Jane's anxiety to be starting lay not entirely in her natural impatience of delay.
Hattie laughed, so she nearly swallowed the tack that, girl-like, she held between her lips, and I after a laugh, told him it was a poor subject for a jest, and we went in. There was no store in Columbus then where play-books were sold, and as Mr.
They did not care to talk, even about the wonderful Cave of Gold, just then. They had ridden something like a couple of miles on their way homeward and their tongues were just beginning to wag, girl-like, again, when both were considerably startled by a loud hallo, coming from behind.
She did not, indeed, look like one of those children who are born in disease and starvation, and put to nurse upon the pavement; her limbs were shapely enough, her back was straight, she had features that were not merely human, but girl-like, and her look had in it the light of an intelligence generally sought for in vain among the children of the street.
I like to think of his slight figure amongst them; his delicate, almost girl-like, profile against theirs; his dreamy eyes and pale brow, surmounted by one of those dark clusters of hair in which the fingers of women love to creep an incongruity, though of surfaces only, which certain who knew him but 'by sight, as the phrase is, might be at a loss to understand.
I had praised the Italian women for the simplicity of their church-attire: their black dresses and lace veils make a picturesque contrast with the gorgeous ceremonials of the high altar. But there was something in this quiet toilet, so fresh and simple and girl-like, that struck me as the one touch of grace that the American woman can give to the best even of foreign taste.
Girl-like, she was inclined to imagine that his interest in her depended upon something else than her mere personality. When she reached home Mrs. Gerhardt had heard of her flight from the other children. "What was the matter with you, anyhow?" asked George, when she came in. "Oh, nothing," she answered, but immediately turned to her mother and said, "Mr. Brander came by and saw us."
He had not spoken to Marise that evening, save the first greetings, and his impudent shout to her in the dance, and now turned to find her. On the other side of the room she was installed, looking extraordinarily young and girl-like, between Mr. Welles and Mr. Bayweather, fanning first one and then the other elderly gentleman and talking to them with animation.
"Tell 'im I've come back from Australia, if you like," said Mr. Price, faintly. "I don't mind." Mr. Spriggs cleared his throat again. "But, you see, we told Ethel as you was doing well out there," he said, with an embarrassed laugh, "and girl-like, and Alfred talking a good deal about his relations, she she's made the most of it."
