What's that?" cried Brighteyes, for she was a bit nervous from having had a tooth pulled week before last. "Don't be alarmed, my dear," spoke a soft voice. "It's only me," and if there wasn't a great, big, motherly-looking hoptoad, out in the dusty road, and the next moment if that toad didn't begin hopping up and down as fast as she could hop.
How he struggled through the snow that night, what difficulty he had in waking up his two nearest neighbors, and getting one of them to send his son for Doctor Critchel, and what was said about such things always happening of such a night, I will leave to the imagination of my reader. It was nearly an hour before Hanz returned, bringing with him two stout, motherly-looking dames.
Those two motherly-looking women in the smart pelisses, who are chatting so confidentially, inserting a ‘ma’am’ at every fourth word, scraped an acquaintance about a quarter of an hour ago: it originated in admiration of the little boy who belongs to one of them—that diminutive specimen of mortality in the three-cornered pink satin hat with black feathers.
He was thumping the back of some one whom he had never seen before and giving voice to such yells of delight that the motherly-looking woman who sat beside him said to herself that he must suddenly have gone out of his senses.
Muller, his tall bearded son Rufus, and a thin but motherly-looking elderly woman, came forth to meet the travellers; and in the front, full stare, stood a trollopy-looking girl, every bar of her enormous hoop plainly visible through her washed-out flimsy muslin.
The overwrought woman had been soothed into the blessed oblivion of restoring sleep, the first she had for many hours. A motherly-looking woman whispered her intention of remaining with Mrs. Wendall all night. Mr. Wendall took Madge's hand in both his own, and looked at her with eyes dim with tears.
They scattered, screaming with delight, and she after them. "Howdy, Mr. Ripley?" said the woman, smiling a little. "Howdy, Mis' McChesney?" said the old man, shortly. So this was the mother of Tom, of whom I had heard so much. She was, in truth, a motherly-looking person, her fleshy face creased with strong character. "Who hev ye brought with ye?" she asked, glancing at me.
I never saw such a mess." "I'm sorry," answered the youth, trying not to laugh. "We'll see that it doesn't happen again." "Yes; that's what you always say," rejoined the motherly-looking woman, who looked after the interests of Mr. Swift's home. "Well, we mean it this time," retorted the lad. "We see where our mistake was; don't we. Mr. Sharp?" "I think so," replied the other seriously.
After supper this chatty and entertaining gentleman brings his wife, a rotund, motherly-looking person, to see the bicycle; she is a Levantine Greek, and besides her own lingua franca, her husband has improved her education to the extent of a smattering of rather misleading English.
The house seemed to be in some disturbance, but as she could not suppose she was altogether forgotten, she thought it better to remain quiet in the apartment where she had been left, till some one should take notice of her. The first who entered was, to her no small delight, one of her own sex, a motherly-looking aged person of a housekeeper.
