We were looking at one another and at these two children when there came into the room a very little girl, childish in figure but shrewd and older-looking in the face pretty-faced too wearing a womanly sort of bonnet much too large for her and drying her bare arms on a womanly sort of apron.
Will you settle down to toil in the diggings, giving her no further thought, while this pretty-faced lieutenant is chuckling over the clever manner by which he fooled you as well as us " "No!" fairly shouted the roused parent; "I will follow them to the ends of the earth! They shall not find a foot of ground that will protect them! She has never seen me angry, but she shall now!"
"It seemed as if all the back-kitchens and staircases in England had that day been emptied out life-tattered housewives, girls grown stout on porter, pretty-faced babies, heavy-handed fathers, whistling boys in their sloppy clothes, and attitudes curiously evidencing an odious domesticity....
"Oh!" with a pathetic grimace, cried the pretty-faced though sandy- haired Henry, the next to him in age, "if our beloved parents knew how their poor deserted infants are treated " "A fine large infant you are, Hal!" exclaimed Susan. "I'm an infant, you're an infant, Miss Fosbrook is an infant a babby." "For shame, Hal!" cried the more civilized Sam, clenching his fist.
The fishermen were used to it; they only smiled, or paid no attention whatever to the noise. And what was all the noise about? You shall hear. Look at yonder flaxen-haired, pretty-faced, stoutish little girl, leaning so far over the iron rail that it seems her desire to tumble over it, and plunge into the arms of a rough old fisherman, who is gazing quietly up at her with a sarcastic smile.
"I should like it served in the garden under the leetle tree." The young man behind her had now stepped into the room, and he also stood looking at me. He was a pretty-faced little fellow, with an air of provincial foppishness, a tiny Adonis of Grimwinter. He had a small pointed nose, a small pointed chin, and, as I observed, the most diminutive feet.
She was particularly kind to all Americans, barring, I fear, a few pretty-faced, finely-frocked title-hunters, told stories of the Far West, and had theories of a people of which they knew little, cared less, and believed to be vulgar.
Elsie flushed. She couldn't help being pleased by the extravagant praise, but she couldn't bear to be advised to give up the dramatic stage. The older singer turned to Miss Pritchard. "My dear Miss Pritchard, why do you let this charming child waste her time learning to do vaudeville stunts that any limber-jointed, pretty-faced chit could do, with a glorious voice like that?"
I would not see him again for the wealth of the States! 'Tush, foolish girl! said Douw, whose sensations were anything but comfortable. 'A man may be as ugly as the devil, and yet if his heart and actions are good, he is worth all the pretty-faced, perfumed puppies that walk the Mall.
I don't want to take Ned's part; he's nothing in the world but a pretty-faced noodle. But Richard's treated 'im as if he was the dirt under 'is feet. And Ned's felt it. Oh, I know whose doing it was, we were never asked up to the house when you'd company. It wasn't YOURS, my dear!
