Once because they saw a made-up Central Office man in every lounging long-shoreman, and were not so far wrong either they halted at the street end of one of the smaller piers and from there watched a grimy little foreign boat that carried no wireless masts and that might have taken them to any one of half a dozen obscure banana ports of South America watched her while she hiccoughed out into midstream and straightened down the river for the open bay watched her out of sight and then fled again to their newest hiding place in the lower East Side in a cold sweat, with the feeling that every casual eye glance from every chance passer-by carried suspicion and recognition in its flash, that every briskening footstep on the pavement behind them meant pursuit.
Then she saw, distinctly, that his face darkened, and after that, when he smiled at the things which were being tossed back and forth between Karl and Georgia, it was what she called to herself a "made-up smile"; and once or twice when Karl said something especially funny, she was quite sure she saw Dr. Parkman wince. A lump rose in Ernestine's throat; Karl seemed to have slipped away from her.
Without hesitation, Isidore sat down beside the man and said: "Yes, that is my name but who are you? How did you know me?" "That's not difficult and yet I've only seen your portrait in the papers. But you are so badly what do you call it in French so badly made-up."
To-night, in a closely-fitting dress of black silk relieved by a string of pearls round her neck, and a superb white rose at her breast, she was almost handsome. Robin watched her with satisfaction as she moved towards him. "Ah, it's cold," she said. "I know Marchant left those windows open till the last moment. Robin, your tie is shocking.

In one of the pews was seated a woman I learned afterwards she was Lady Alicia's maid, who had been instructed to come and go from the house by a footpath, while we had taken the longer road. I returned and escorted Lady Alicia to the church, and there was introduced to Mr. Haddon and his friend, the made-up divine.

It's to be given out, and distinctly understood beforehand, that the ghost isn't a veridical phantom, but just an honest, made-up, every-day spook.
Or of how I roundly swore it That there's none so fair as thou; True it is, but as I said it, By the girls I'm hated now. For Teresa of the hillside At my praise of thee was sore; Said, "You think you love an angel; It's a monkey you adore; "Caught by all her glittering trinkets, And her borrowed braids of hair, And a host of made-up beauties That would Love himself ensnare."

A few literal translations of Icelandic phrases may be thrown in; the result, as furniture-dealers say, is a "made-up article." On the subject of style another hint may be offered.
She did not complain, and merely said, with admirable resignation: 'I am punished, well punished! "I sent for assistance and for the workgirl's friends and told them a made-up story of a runaway carriage which had knocked her down and lamed her, outside my door. They believed me, and the gendarmes for a whole month tried in vain to find the author of this accident. "That is all!
