'Of course you are a fairy, and have fallen in love with me, but there is nothing to sigh at in that, surely? 'Ah ah ah! said the barber's wife, with another sigh, 'I believe you're fickle! Men with long-pointed noses always are! But the robber captain swore he was the most constant of men; yet still the fairy sighed and sighed, until he almost wished his nose had been shortened too.
You have put the halter round my throat." "No!" cried Margaret. "I have saved you: stand back from the window, both! Your knife, quick!" She seized his long-pointed knife, almost tore it out of his girdle, and darted from the room. The house was now surrounded with baying dogs and shouting men. The glowworm eyes moved not.
I took the boat and rowed some distance up this creek. It was very narrow, winding, and deep; on each side a wall thirty or forty feet high, formed by trees intwined with creepers, gave to the canal a singularly gloomy appearance. It has short legs, web feet, extremely long-pointed wings, and is of about the size of a tern.
The perianthium composed of five long-pointed parts, the form of the seed vessel and the smallness of the seeds, together with the irregular shape of the flower and thinness of the leaves, argue this plant to be a Rapuntium. Fucus foliis capillaceis brevissimis, vesiculis minimis donatis. This elegant fucus is of the Erica Marina or Sargazo kind, but has much finer parts than that.
We scramble down the sides of the British schooner, the “Glory,” and seat ourselves along with Tom. What a confusion of boats, long-pointed barges, and small sailing vessels! “Mind how you go, Tom.” “Ay, ay, sir!” replies Tom, contemptuously shifting his quid. These small sailing vessels we see are from the Hanoverian and Danish coasts.
The Bahrein boats have very long-pointed prows, elegantly carved and decorated with shells; when the wind is contrary they are propelled by poles or paddles, consisting of boards of any shape tied to the end of the poles with twine, and the oarsman always seats himself on the gunwale.
The anxiety gnawed on, rising at times into terror, dulling again to a steady ache. And then remorse began to fit a long-pointed fang into a sensitive spot in her heart. In vain to resist. It was securely placed. Let reason hold her peace.
Now, it is the jagged cut of the garments, punched and shredded by the man-milliner; now, the wide and high collars and the long-pointed boots, which attract the indignation of the moralist; at one time he inveighs against the "horrible disordinate scantness" of the clothing worn by gallants, at another against the "outrageous array" in which ladies love to exhibit their charms.
