Expansively the silversmith answered: "Well, then, since we've got money and we're all alone, why don't we take in a dance, to-night?" The whole Junoesque body of the young woman a true Madrid type trembled with joy. It had been a long time since she had had any such amusement; not since her marriage had she danced.
He pictured Miss Ward as probably pretty, but with the coquettish effrontery of the village belle and with the pushing, "good-fellow" manners of the new school. He was prepared either to have her slap him on the back or, from behind tilted eye-glasses, make eyes at him. He was sure she wore eye-glasses, and was large, plump, and Junoesque. With reluctance he entered the outer office.
If I only had a classical nose and mouth I should be perfectly happy," she said, surveying herself with a critical eye and a candle in each hand. In spite of this affliction, she looked unusually gay and graceful as she glided away. She seldom ran it did not suit her style, she thought, for being tall, the stately and Junoesque was more appropriate than the sportive or piquante.
But what sort of a woman was Miss Flora Henderson, it may be asked, that she should demand so much in the man with whom she should share the burdens of life? Surely one should be wellnigh perfect one's self to require so much of another and I really think Miss Flora Henderson was so. In the first place, she was tall and stately Junoesque some people called her. She had an eye fit for all things.
He could afford to marry, and he had admired many women, but none of them came up to his ideals. Miss Fotheringay, for instance, represented his notions as to what a woman should be physically, but intellectually he found her wofully below his required standard. She was tall and stately Junoesque some people called her but in her conversation she was decidedly flippant.
At the jewelry counter, a crystal rectangle facing broadside the main entrance and the bleached and sun-grilled street without, Miss Lola Hassiebrock, salient among many and with Olympian certainty of self, lifted two Junoesque arms like unto the handles of a vase, held them there in the kind of rigidity that accompanies a yawn, and then let them flop. "Oh-h-h-h, God bless my soul!" she said.
"I would defy anybody to sell me a thing I didn't want," she replied. "Ah, that," said he with a glance of wistful admiration, "that is because you have red hair." If any other strange male had talked about her hair, Zora Middlemist would have drawn herself up in Junoesque majesty and blighted him with a glance. She had done with men and their compliments forever.
To complete his characterization, it is necessary to mention that he had served in the Boer War, and had gained a D.S.O. But that was in the days before he met Juliet or he might not have risked a life so precious to her. Juliet was dark and rather little, not at all like her Junoesque mother. She was extremely pretty and dressed to perfection.
"Primrose is so depressed if the house isn't full. And so the d'Oylys are here, Nina more Junoesque than ever and really quite like an Amazon in bathing clothes; Enid Ouchterlony, a little bitter, I'm afraid, at not being engaged to any one yet, men are horribly scared of an intelligent girl and, after all, they don't marry for intelligence, do they?
She was not at all Junoesque, and the maiden of his dreams had been decidedly so. She had auburn hair, which hitherto Willis had detested. Indeed, if the same hirsute wealth had adorned some other woman's head, Willis would have called it red. This shows how completely he was smitten. She changed his point of view entirely.
