"I wish I could hug you all but it would muss you dreadfully." "Thank goodness, mammy, that you don't find any dirt on me," exclaimed Graham, whose ruddy face shone from an extra "party" scrubbing. "Am I all right, mother?" begged Isobel, pirouetting in her fluffy white. Uncle Johnny rushed in. He was very dapper in a new tailcoat and a flower in his buttonhole.
Geoffrey was clutching pathetically for anything which he could understand or appeal to in this elusive person. "I love him," said Yaé, pirouetting on her white toes near the edge of the chasm, "and I love you and I love any man who is worth loving!" They returned to the lake in silence. Geoffrey's sermon was abortive. This girl was altogether outside the circle of his code of Good Form.
And sentimental man, awakened to this disastrous view of things, endures shrewder pangs of rivalry in the contemplation of his usurping posterity than if, as do they, he looked forward to a tricked, perfumed, pommaded whipster, pirouetting like any Pierrot the enviable image of the one who realized her first dream, and to whom specially missioned angels first opened the golden gates of her heart.
"I wouldn't miss it for anything!" cried Lottie, pirouetting about the room, laughing and clapping her hands; "she has such comical ways of talking and acting. I know it will be real fun. You won't think of staying away, Elsie?"
Negro waiters flew here and there, and a huge, stout head-waiter, who was pirouetting and strutting, suddenly espied Oliver, and made for him with smiles of welcome. "Yes, sir just come in, sir," he said, and led the way down the room, to where, in a corner, a table had been set for sixteen or eighteen people.
"And see, mamma" the girl was pirouetting on the floor "I can do those steps you do. Isn't it Spanish?" "Rather Spanish-American, I guess. This is the way." Evelyn clapped her hands. "Isn't that lovely!" "You are only a little brownie, after all." Her mother was holding her at arm's length and studying her critically, wondering if she would ever be handsome. The girl was slender, but not tall.
To make a pathetic appeal to Helen, dwelling upon his love, his doubts, his torturing jealousy, was one thing; quite another to tell that hopelessly humorous, refusing-to-be-pathetic story of those ridiculous bas bleus they dangled everywhere from every point of his story; flying, pirouetting, circling and pin-wheeling in a psychic pas seul!
After the usual bareback riding, in which the Siamese were treated to the sight of European women in pink tights and tulle skirts pirouetting on the backs of cantering Percherons, two clowns burst into the ring. "Hey, you!" bawled one of them, "Have you seen the white elephant?" "Sure, I have," was the response. "The King has a stable full of them."
"What'd I tell yer, what'd I tell yer!" she exclaimed, pirouetting and somersaulting till the slower-moving Freckles was a trifle dizzy. Within a quarter of an hour the three were snugly ensconced in the window niche of the "cubby-hole," so Flibbertigibbet termed the robing-room closet, and looking with all their eyes across the street.
Colors, forms, sparkle, golden haze a painter must be dead or a duffer to leave before the gay glory of it faded and was dispersed in the gray dawn. The scene viewed from near had its cheapness, its crudity, like those poor painted faces of the dancers pirouetting in the midst of a public they can more surely enchant from the distance of the stage.
