Francesca, who was holding a plunging child between her knees, actively inspecting its head, grunted but did not look up, and the oracle of the wash-tubs, provokingly, with slow movements of her knotted coffee-coloured arms, flapped a dainty skirt, half-covered with drawn work, before she condescended to speak further.
"I suppose it was because of your excellent Cyprus wine, to which my father has taken a great liking." "Ah! he like it? We will give him some." Leah was in a state of undress as before, and the sight of her half-covered spheres drove me to distraction. "Are you not aware that you have a beautiful breast?" said I. "I thought all young girls were just the same."
Old Sally stood looking at him for a time with her small brown eyes half-covered under her gray brows. At last, with something of the liberty of the old servant she said, "Marster, is you married to that dere lady? Ef you isn't, is you gwine marry her?" "If I told you you'd know too much, Sally. It's enough for you to know that you're responsible for her.
"Wait a moment," Frank called in a sudden tone of authority. "I'm with you women in this. If you'll let me join your forces, I'll fight on your side." He had half-covered the distance between them before Julia stopped him with a "Wait a moment!" as decisive as his own. "In the first place," she said, "we don't want your help. If we don't get this by our own efforts, we'll never value it.
There was no mistaking that powerful figure, of low stature, but herculean proportions; that gloomy and phlegmatic face, half-covered with the black beard; and the eye glancing warily, but with a reckless fire in them, from beneath the heavy eye-brows. The woman wore an elegant gray riding habit gray seemed a favorite with her. Her cheeks were as white as ever, and her lips as red.
Some of the vaults have been opened, and many lead coffins, half-covered with rotting velvet and gold lace, lie exposed to the light of day, awaiting an examination at the hands of the Minister of Justice.
'He has beads and a cross, he cannot be a man-wolf, said the child, as a man with the snow heavy on his long, ragged beard, and on the matted hair, that fell over his shoulders and nearly to his waist, and dropping from the tattered cloak that but half-covered his withered brown body, came in and looked from face to face with mild, ecstatic eyes.
Julien's gaze rested lovingly on Reine's wavy locks, falling heavily over her neck, on her half-covered eyes with their luminous pupils full of golden specks of light, on her red lips, on the two little brown moles spotting her somewhat decollete neck.
And the daughter of the man, still sitting afar in his quiet laboratory, fitting little powder charges into a model Thunder Bird, set herself to battle through the swirling gap of that half-covered window-frame clutched and hampered now yet upholding, even if it was her daring death-thought, Toandoah's honor in the flood.
Nature had long ago healed the wounds of men; she had half-covered the ruined mill with verdure, had softened the stone walls of the dam with mosses and lichens, and had crept down the steep hillside and was now leaning so far out over the pool that she could see her reflection in the quiet water.
