As for Molly, she was as happy as a bird in these pleasant surroundings, and danced about the house all day long; now concocting some delicate dish in the kitchen, under the supervision of Hetty, the cook, who had taken a great fancy to her; now taking an old dress or bonnet of Sara's, and, by a dexterous touch here, or a perked-up bow of fresh ribbon there, giving it an altogether new and elegant appearance; or else feeding the birds, or lounging in the hammock, chattering with a group of girls, always busy, happy, and useful, if her studies were quite forgotten.
The coquettish mule had small feet, a nicely trimmed tassel of a tail, perked-up ears, and seemed much given to little tosses of the head, affected skips and prances; and, if he wore the bells, or were bedizened with a bit of finery, put on as many airs as any belle.
Running up for the week-end, three days later, he was relieved to find her decidedly perked-up, and left her again with the easier heart. It was on the day after he went back to Mildenham that she received a letter from Fiorsen, forwarded from Bury Street. He was it said just returning to London; he had not forgotten any look she had ever given him, or any word she had spoken.
Flower-decked heads and silken-gleaming shoulders passed between the windows and the light, outlining vividly every line and angle and curve the keen cut of profiles, the scallops of perked-up lace, the sharp dove-tails of ribbons. Before one window was upreared the great back and head of a man, still as a statue, yet with the persistency of stillness, of life.
Those little perked-up ears seemed tingling with suppressed glee. He made a desperate effort to master the situation, and jumped up to reach for some Russian cigarettes as an incentive to conversation, but was foiled by the cactus, to whom again he fell a prey. The last straw was added. "Damn the cactus."
All the stone-cutters seem to have tried their chisels on this group, and there are dozens of them. The wise and foolish virgins also stand at the church doors in time-stained stone, the one with a perked-up air of conscious virtue, and the other with a penitent dejection that seems to merit better treatment.

I do not know what we may come to in time, we may be as genteel as Kate's friend, Willie Turner, says the people are in Aurelia Place that perked-up row of houses, whose windows and doors give them such a comical expression of countenance, more like butterflies than aurelias. 'Who is Kate's friend? asked Anne, in a wondering tone.
