Nor, on the other hand, does he care for the country hoyden, whose mind and person have never risen above the cheese-tub, with red hands, awkward gait, loud voice, and limited conversation. He has read too much, in his quiet way, and observed too much, in his quiet way, also, for that.

She has broken out in the most unexpected way, and frisks like a colt; for she says she feels so full of spirits she must run and shout whether it is proper or not," added Mrs. Jessie, who had been a pretty hoyden years ago herself. "Good good! that's the best news you could tell me," and Dr. Alec rubbed his hands heartily.

More than two hundred years ago there lived in the parish of St. Teath, a poor labouring man called Jefferies, and this man had one daughter, called Anne. Anne was a sweetly pretty girl, and a very intelligent one, too; but she was a terrible hoyden. She shocked all the old ladies in the village, and all the prim people, dreadfully, and instead of being ashamed, she seemed to glory in it.

She had to wear one now for dancing-class, as it made movement and spacing so different; but other times she went her wilful way, short nose in air, encouraged by the complacence of her father, who had no more knowledge of what the country people called her "goings-on" than if he had lived in an alien clime. Hilaria was a hoyden.

At these primitive tea parties the utmost propriety and dignity of deportment prevailed. No flirting nor coquetting no gambling of old ladies, nor hoyden chattering and romping of young ones no self-satisfied struttings of wealthy gentlemen with their brains in their pockets nor amusing conceits and monkey divertissements of smart young gentlemen with no brains at all.

"Your future daughter-in-law," says Mrs. Bethune, in a low voice, nodding her beautiful head at Lady Rylton. "Oh, it is detestable! A hoyden a mere hoyden," says Lady Rylton pettishly. "Look at her hair!" And, indeed, it must be confessed that the hoyden's hair is not all it ought to be.

She was never in earnest with me just a hoyden asking to be won." "I crave your honour's pardon. The girl was in earnest enough when she smashed your carriage window with the heel of her shoe and leaped out like a young filly clearing a five barred gate." "Pest! Don't remind me of that. It makes me sick when I think how I was fooled and that you were such an ass as to let her slip."

Willcoxen expressed himself rather pleased than otherwise at the prospect of Miriam's having a companion, and so the engagement was closed. Alice Morris was a hearty, cordial, blooming hoyden, really about ten or eleven years of age, but seeming from her fine growth and proportions, at least thirteen or fourteen.

And she indicated with her hand, laughing, dear David's red wig and false sandy whiskers, as we felt convinced they must be now. She looked at them and tittered. Her manner at this moment was anything but shy. In fact, I will venture to say, it was that of a bold and brazen-faced hoyden. "Then you are Colonel Clay!" Sir Charles cried, mopping his brow with his handkerchief.

O dear, what a fool I am! There is nothing the matter with me. I don't know what makes me cry; but I can't help it, I hate myself, I can't bear myself, and yet I can't change myself. Nobody that I care for will ever love me. I am such a hoyden such a romp I disgust every one that comes near me; and yet I can't be gentle and sweet like you, if I die.
