Miss Corbet was dressed with what she herself would have said was a milkmaid's plainness; but Isabel looked in astonishment at the elaborate ruff and wings of muslin and lace, the shining peacock gown, the high-piled coils of black hair, and the twinkling buckled feet.
Then the Image of the Saint, as Fine as a Milkmaid's Garland, borne on a Bier, all spangled, on the shoulders of four men, and bedizened out with Flowers, Wax-candles, &c. After these, the Padre Guardian of the Convent, and about forty Priests in their full Habits.
If I had such a colour naturally, I should of course use blanc de perle or something to hide it. There is a considerable difference even a very young man might see it, I should think between rouge and the crude blazing red that nature daubs on a milkmaid's cheeks."
Yet, in spite of all this, what a book those Essays of his make, to lie down with under trees! It is the honest, lovable simplicity of his nature that makes the keeping good. He is the Izaak Walton of London streets, of print-shops, of pastry-shops, of mouldy book-stalls; the chime of Bow-bells strikes upon his ear like the chorus of a milkmaid's song at Ware.

It was not only Lorchen that Christophe kissed as he kissed the little milkmaid's chubby cheeks; it was all Germany. The girl slipped away and ran towards the train which was just going. She hung out of the window and waved her handkerchief to him until she was out of sight.
The girl was in high spirits, and laughed as she talked to the king, who smiled on her in a manner that caused my Lady Castlemain to remark: "The young milkmaid's affectations are disgusting." Other equally flattering remarks were to be heard from women of the Castlemain stamp, but the men were a unit in praising the new beauty.
Captain Barry, he added, with a sigh, 'the thing that I regret most in life perhaps it is because I am old, blase, and dying is, that I never had a virtuous attachment. 'Ha! ha! a milkmaid's daughter! said I, laughing at the absurdity. 'Well, why not a milkmaid's daughter? There's nothing like having a virtuous drudge at home, sir; depend upon that.
