Elmore. And somehow a shoemaker for the sandals, a seamstress for the delicate flowing draperies, a hair-dresser for the adjustment of the young girl's rebellious abundance of hair beneath the star-lit fillet, were actually found, with the help of Hoskins, as usual, though he was not suffered to know anything of the character to whose make-up he contributed.
The hair is dressed with olive-oil or daubed over with semen, or liquid butter. My old negress landlady is a hair-dresser of the first style, and the fashionable negresses come to have their woolly crispy locks dressed by her secundum artem nearly every day. This hair-dressing takes place on my terrace, and affords me a splendid field for observation.
And settling himself with relief in his carriage, he thought: "Och! I ought not to get fat!" The following evening he went to the Turkins' to make an offer. But it turned out to be an inconvenient moment, as Ekaterina Ivanovna was in her own room having her hair done by a hair-dresser. She was getting ready to go to a dance at the club.
"No head ever comes to me uncleansed," replied the illustrious hair-dresser; "but for your sake, I will do that of monsieur myself, wholly. My pupils sketch out the scheme, or my strength would not hold out. Every one says as you do: 'Dressed by Marius! Therefore, I can give only the finishing strokes. What journal is monsieur on?"

Adam Hartley was full middle size, stout, and well limbed; and an open English countenance, of the genuine Saxon mould, showed itself among chestnut locks, until the hair-dresser destroyed them.

When I had taken my chocolate, a hair-dresser quite a fashionable, dapper fellow made his appearance, dying to give vent to his chattering propensities. Guessing that I did not wish to be shaved, he offered to clip my soft down with the scissors, saying that I would look younger. "Why do you suppose that I want to conceal my age?"
Sam, with the best intentions in the world, somehow frustrated her attempts in this direction. He was propped up on one elbow beside her. "How thick and bright your hair is!" she murmured. "You've got some hair yourself," returned Sam politely. She quickly put both hands up. "Ah! don't look at it. A hair-dresser spoiled it. As a child it hung below my waist."
It told how Mrs More had taken Shenac's hair to a hair-dresser in the city, and how the money she had received for it had been given into the hands of Mr Rugg, who was to buy a wheel with it, as something Shenac would be sure to value. "And here it is," said Mr Rugg; "as good a wheel as need be. It will put yours quite out of fashion, Mrs Macivor."
