Miss Raeburn pushed back her chair with a sharp noise. But her brother was still peeling his pear, and no one else moved. Why did he let such talk go on? It was too unseemly. Lord Maxwell only laughed. "My dear young lady," he said, much amused, "are you even in the frame of mind to make a hero of a poacher? Disillusion lies that way! it does indeed. Why Aldous!
Ten Breeches was produced, and peeling off one pair of breeches after another, soon produced enough material to surround the entire island of Manhattan, which was thus bought for sixty guelders, or Dutch dollars. In due time came the first Dutch governor, Wouter Van Twiller.
"To-morrow will be all right, thank you," she replied. He put his hand in his pocket and took out a big roll of money. Peeling off five yellow-backed bills and placing them on the table, he said: "And you'll need some money in the meantime. I'll leave this here." "You seem to have come prepared," she smiled. "Did Elfie and you plan all this out?"
With his own hands the king would help West to place his pictures in position on the easel. The queen plain, snuff-taking, her face painted like a mask, and her eyes rolling like an automaton, as eyewitnesses have described her later in life called on Mrs. Garrick one day at Hampton Court, and found the widow of the Roscius very busy peeling onions for pickling.

We clomb the stairway to the first floor to the second. Here was all pure Jacobean; but the walls were crumbling, the paper peeling, the windows dim and foul with dirt. I have never known a place with such echoes.
Where the paint has yielded to age and exposure and is peeling off in flakes and patches, the effect is not happy. A noseless Cupid or a Jupiter with an eye out or a Venus with a fly-blister on her breast, are not attractive features in a picture.
"That's not the point," interrupted Mr. Travers. "Have you any opinion as to his motives in coming here?" Carter raised his weary, bloodshot eyes in a face scarlet and peeling as though it had been licked by a flame. "I know no more than you do, sir. Last night when he had me in that cabin of his, he said he would just as soon shoot me as let me go to look for any other help.
Not only this, but they grow much larger for the peeling, and also yield a fair product of bulblets, thus increasing their rate of multiplication in various ways. When I first heard of the advantages of peeling bulblets I decided to try it, and engaged a number of girls to do the work at their homes in the winter, paying ten cents an hour.
