But above her beauty is that pose of freedom and self-respect which commends her everywhere. Nor is this assumed. The woman of Burma is "the man of the family." In business, and in all forms of trade, she is far superior to her lord, and much of the support and the honour of the family depends upon her industry, cleverness, and independence.
The façade of the Palais du Sénat is not altogether lovely and has little suggestion of the daintiness of the Petit Luxembourg, but, for all that, it presents a certain dignified pose and the edifice serves its purpose well as the legislative hall of the upper house. The gardens of the Luxembourg form another of those favourite Paris playgrounds for nursemaids and their charges.
His indefatigable goings and comings and his poses fill their minds with a personality which typifies the national spirit. Will this change after the war? But that, too, is not a subject for speculation here. Through the war his pose has met the needs of the hour.
Ouardi smiled a broad welcome as they approached, and having made sure that his pose had been admired, retired to the cook's abode to fetch the teapot, while Batouch invited Domini and Androvsky to inspect the tent prepared for them. Domini assented with a dropped-out word. She still felt in a dream.
In the hunting season he kills in a day as many as a dozen of these pests' and ranges them in his pen tray. On Saturday afternoon he rummages in Malkan's and the second-hand bookshops along Fourth Avenue. To see Wurm in his most characteristic pose, is to see him on a ladder, with one leg outstretched, far off his balance, fumbling for a title with his finger tips.
Personally I find that my mental image is of contracting the latissimus dorsi the muscles of the broad of the back by the shoulder blades and thereby expanding the shoulders, forcing the hands apart, but still in direct line with the bull's-eye. And after the arrow has left the bow, hold the pose! Carry through!
A moment he stood so, unconsciously as so many, many times before, in pose; then deliberately, gently, ignoring the row of curious observant eyes, he took her hand and raised it to his lips. "Good-bye, Bess," he said low. "Come back as soon as you can; and don't worry. Everything will come right." Gently as he had lifted the hand, he released it.
"Oh," said Mrs. Severance again, but this time tinily and with a flavor of third acts about her, and she started to relax rather beautifully into a Dying Gladiator pose. "I'll get some more water, Mr. Piper," said Oliver briskly, and Mrs. Severance began to sit up again. "I fainted silly of me," she said with a consummate dazedness. "Somebody was firing revolvers "
Jud laid down his six-shooter, with which he was preparing to pound an antelope steak, and stood over me in what I felt to be a menacing attitude. He further endorsed my impression that his pose was resentful by fixing upon me with his light blue eyes a look of cold suspicion.
"Shall I?" He turned gently her face up to his own. "Shall I? Dare I?" She opened her eyes wide those glorious, trusting eyes. "But why should you be afraid to tell me?" He laughed again softly, and kissed her lips. "I will make a rough sketch in the morning and show it you. It won't be a study only an idea. You are going to pose for the study." "I?" she said, half-startled. "You yes, you!"
