In spite of all her wrinkles the form of the face remained, and it was easy, especially when her little grand-niece was by, to see that sixty-five years ago she must have had a long and pleasant face, such as one sees in a fox, and red hair like Molly. Molly was sixteen, and her grey dress reached only to her ankles.
The crowd, which had been booing a minute before, cheered heartily. "He's fetched down the representative of the Lord-Lieutenant of this country to unveil the statue!" "I'm not," said Lord Alfred feebly. "I wish I could get you to understand that I'm not his representative." His protest was lost in a fresh burst of cheers. "He has provided a charming grand-niece," said Mr.
I shall try not to look too far beyond the days we shall have in the Louvre and the Uffizi and the Pitti Palace. We shall search for beauty, and perhaps I can teach her to find it, before it is too late, in the things that count. "If you loved a man, and knew that he loved you, and he wouldn't ask you to marry him, what would you do?" The Admiral surveyed his grand-niece thoughtfully.
Blanche Trevellian, whom Neil had designated as tow-haired, and white-browed, was her grand-niece, and Neil's second cousin, and as heiress to ten thousand a year, she might develop into a desirable parti, notwithstanding her ordinary appearance now.
But this was no brutal gorge. We ate slowly, with discrimination. We paused long between the courses. Once or twice we smoked. Once the grand-niece and grand-nephew recited for us, standing up, turn about, on their chairs, and declaiming with fluency and much gesture what were plainly school-learnt poems.

Newton, however, observed that, when speaking of the three sisters, he invariably designated them as "my grand-niece, and the two other young women."
I suppose one would call Hetty a grand-niece." "Mother wasn't quite certain whether you said niece or grand-daughter," explained Leslie. "Her mother's dead, I take it. Who was she?" "Why are you so curious?" "Isn't it quite natural?" "Her mother was a Glynn. You have heard of the Glynns, of course?" She trusted to his vanity and was rewarded. The question was a sort of reproach.
Mr. Allsop conceived a warm affection for the young scholar. He had a grand-niece staying with him on a visit, who less openly, but not less warmly, shared that affection; and with her George Morley fell shyly and timorously in love. With that living he would be rich enough to marry; without it, no.
I won't keep you any longer just now, as we shall have other opportunities of conversation, and I have my adieux to make." The door closed behind Victor, and Mr Farrell turned immediately towards his eldest grand-niece, as if anxious to get through an ordeal. "Well, Ruth, I must bid you good-bye. I trust you will have a pleasant journey, and find matters at home less serious than you anticipate."
