She certainly is a very pretty, modest-looking girl; and I have heard say that modest-looking girls are sometimes greatly admired among the grandees in fashionable places, because of their rarity. I shall certainly show the cold shoulder to Edward Lynne the next time he comes, and give him a hint as to the expectations I have for Rose.
"I have finer ones, but they are three francs each, and the maker only sells them by the dozen," she said. "I will take a dozen if they are really good," I replied. She rang the bell, and a young, charming, and modest-looking girl came in. I was struck with her. "You have got a nice maid," I remarked, when the girl had gone for the protective sheaths.
The modest-looking valet, however, was a distinguished engineer in disguise, who had been sent by Alexander for the especial purpose of examining the fortifications of Ostend that town being a point much coveted, and liable to immediate attack by the Spanish commander.

The parks, and the suburban roads were crowded with neatly-dressed, modest-looking nurses and nursery-maids, leading whole troops of rosy-cheeked, brown-curled, merry boys and girls to enjoy the fresh morning air; and Auguste was never tired, as we drove along, of admiring everything that met his eyes in quick succession.
If there were one additional small room, and not two flights of stairs, I could live with you here, and Hans could get another apartment below in this house.

He spoke of her with love, and declared in reply to my question that he certainly is willing to marry her.
To-morrow we shall be both in a hurry. Come here." He opened the case and showed her a small round portrait painted on ivory. It was the head of a girl of eighteen, exquisitely fair, with sweet, modest-looking eyes. "Your mother," he said briefly. Anna almost held her breath. She had never seen a picture of her mother before, and had very seldom heard her mentioned. "How lovely!" she exclaimed.
The company was a numerous one, especially where women were concerned, but the only one to attract my attention was a pretty and modest-looking brunette, whose fine figure was dressed with great simplicity. Her charming eyes, after having thrown one glance in my direction, obstinately refused to look at me again.
She declared that personally there was nothing against the Prussians; even when in uniform they were kindly and modest-looking men; it was when they got up on pedestals, in bronze or marble, that they, began to bully and to brag. The dinner which the Marches got at a restaurant on Unter den Linden almost redeemed the avenue from the disgrace it had fallen into with them.
"By Jove," cried the man, "she is the most beautiful creature I ever saw in my life!" Lord Orville, as he well might, laughed; but answered, "Yes, a pretty modest-looking girl." "O my Lord!" cried the madman, "she is an angel!" "A silent one," returned he. "Why ay, my Lord, how stands she as to that? She looks all intelligence and expression."
