Proudly erect she advanced; her large blue eyes were turned toward the princess; she gave neither glance nor smile to any one; her noble and beautiful countenance had a stern, resolved expression her lips were pouting, and her usually soft eyes told tales of an angry soul. There was something Juno-like in her appearance she was lovely to behold, but cold and stern in her beauty.
Anne was lying back in a little rocker, with her slim hands folded in her lap, watching Theodora. She realized that Theodora was very handsome, in a stately, Juno-like fashion of firm, white flesh, large, clearly-chiselled outlines, and great, cowey, brown eyes. When Theodora was not smiling, she looked very imposing. Anne thought it likely that Ludovic held her in awe.
I am not going all the way to Batignolles; no farther, indeed, than the Boulevards. I shall inconvenience you for a few moments only, a very few moments, Madame." I had time to remark that the lady, after giving her neighbor a glance of Juno-like disdain, turned her back upon him, and proceeded to study the straps hanging from the roof.

The cows came briskly to the rack in which he foddered them in pleasant weather, and when he scratched them between the horns they turned their mild, Juno-like eyes upon him with undisguised affection. The chickens, clamoring for their breakfast, followed so closely that he had to be careful where he stepped.
For lovely the Queen most certainly was, indeed it is the only word which adequately expresses the perfection of her charms.

He went to Dieppe to meet the afternoon boat. Where have you been since Tuesday? 'I slept at the lock-house with a nice civil woman, who gave me a night's lodging, said Ida, somewhat embarrassed by this question. 'But why not have come home at once, dear? asked the step-mother mildly. She always felt herself a poor creature before her Juno-like daughter.
