"Meaning you'd rather not make pretty-pretty pictures for a competitor?" "No. I mean you'd be wasting your money." "Why?" David drew out his original sketch and laid it before Dick. Dick looked and looked again. He leaned over and studied it intently, his eyes widening and shining. Suddenly with a queer gesture he rose and went to a window.
"I'm afraid you won't like Dick Garstin's work," she said decisively. She was rather disappointed. Had this audaciously handsome man a cult for the pretty-pretty? "Let us see!" he replied, smiling. He looked round the big studio.
Penny was quite pale when she sprang from her chair, but her voice seemed to be Nita's very own, as she sang out: "It can't be 5:30 already!... Thank heaven I'm dummy, and can run away and make myself pretty-pretty for you and all the other great big men, Tracey darling!"
After a long while he rose from his chair, set up the easel and began to work, not on a pretty-pretty picture for Dick Holden, but on an idea of his own that lately had been haunting him. That became a habit in his spare hours. Swiftly the new idea took form, as the flower grows in the field, without travail or effort.
Gilbert would soon rout this paltry little tuppenny-ha'penny Society novelist with his pretty-pretty chatter and his pretty-pretty blue eyes and his air of being a knowing dog.

He was unctuous when he was not pretty-pretty, and his views were evidently unpopular. Parkson was a man from Lancashire, and a devout Quaker; his third and completing factor was Ruskin, with whose work and phraseology he was saturated.
There is a gentle, pretty-pretty haze of romance over Italian scenery which is like reading fairy-tales after having devoured Carlyle. It is like hearing Verdi after Wagner. The East has my real love. I find that I cannot rave over a pink and white china shepherdess when I have worshipped the Venus of Milo. The point of view is always the pivot of recollection. How ought one to remember a place?
"We were playing bridge, the last hand of the last rubber, because the men were arriving for cocktails, when Nita became dummy and went to her bedroom to " "To make herself 'pretty-pretty' for the men," Mrs.
You can do nothing, and will only be a damned nuisance if you do try to do anything. The brigantine will be here presently, and you'll get your head attended to, and have 'pretty-pretty' plasters stuck on your nose and other parts of your facial beauties." "Where are the niggers?" I asked. "Gone, gone, my dear boy. Vanished, but not vanished in time enough for five or six of them.
