The boatswain heard a long moan through the roar and whistling of the wind; he saw an inextricable confusion of heads and shoulders, naked soles kicking upwards, fists raised, tumbling backs, legs, pigtails, faces. "Good Lord!" he cried, horrified, and banged-to the iron door upon this vision. This was what he had come on the bridge to tell.
Just as we were parting at the door, Helen turned full on me her great, lambent eyes. "Do you love me?" she asked suddenly. "Why, I loved you," I replied, "when you were a little freckled Nelly in pigtails." And that, at least, is true! God help me to be kind to the most beautiful woman in the world! June 21, 19 . Helen and I were to have been married just a year ago.
She would leave school with Sophy, and I waited on the corner near the McAlery house. Poor Sophy! She was always of those who piped while others danced. In those days she had two straw-coloured pigtails, and her plain, faithful face is before me as I write. She never betrayed to me the excitement that filled her at being the accomplice of our romance. Gossip raged, of course.
That is, sometimes they looked like that, and sometimes her arms looked like the arms of a windmill. And her frizzy pigtails swished around with her arms just like the sails of a windmill that had suddenly gone mad.
Aside from the regular attendants of the chapel, there were groups of rough miners alone and with their families, who were rarely to be found in any church; while, in the foremost rank, sat Wang Kum and a dozen intimate friends, their very pigtails waggling with suppressed excitement and admiration, as they looked about the pretty chancel and listened to the voices of the boys.

In his brief college days his timid glances had wandered by an irresistible attraction towards the seats on the right-hand side of the class room, where the girls of the first year sat, with golden pigtails down their backs, doing trigonometry. He would have married any of them. But when a girl can work out trigonometry at sight, what use can she possibly have for marriage? None. Mr.
From the first day, the sense of emancipation was indescribable. I enjoy being addressed as "Ma'am"; I revel in being without a maid, though it takes me ages to do my hair, and I have serious thoughts of wearing it in pigtails down my back!
But it is not so, there is no school in the kingdom where the youth are better fed, or made more comfortable than at Oscot. TRENTHAM has a delicious situation on the Trent, which forms a lake in the park, inhabited by swans and monstrous pike. The Hall used to be one of the hideous brick erections of the time of pigtails and laced waistcoats, the footman style of dress and architecture.
They do be pigtails on th' Dootch a fut long in the eel-skin. Faith, I saw McCraw's scalp 'twas wan o' Harrod's men tuk it, not I, sorr! an' 'twas red an' ratty, wid nary a lock to lift it, more shame to McCraw!" Mount stood, balancing now on his heels, now on his toes, inhaling and expelling his breath like a man who has had more than a morning draught of cider.
He is so great that he spends much of his time learning the exact number of buttons, tags and laces, and the cut of all the cocked-hats, pigtails, and gaiters in his army. Oh, yes, he is so great that he is always meddling in other people's affairs. He pokes his red face into every cottage for miles around.
