And Schoolma'am would wear it, though I made her cover it, as well as I could, with a tea-rose. It was my last breakfast as a boarder, and I could not leave them in utter silence.
Dishart gave them to Gavin on his birthday she she had told him to keep them out of his father's sight. So if Tommy was to get "Waverley" at once, he must discover another way. For some time Miss Ailie had been anxious about her red-armed maid, who had never before given pain unless by excess of willingness, as when she offered her garter to tie Miss Ailie's parcels with.
'Sit ye down, sir do, said Dorcas, moving the three-cornered chair, 'an' let me get you somethin' after your long journey. Here, Becky, come an' tek the baby. Becky, a red-armed damsel, emerged from the adjoining back-kitchen, and possessed herself of baby, whose feelings or fat made him conveniently apathetic under the transference.

Mrs Verloc, full of deep purpose, spoke in the tone of the shallowest indifference. “There is no need to have the woman here all day. I shall do very well with Stevie.”
A stout, middle-aged, red-armed woman, already warned by some messenger of calamity, stood waiting on the roadside bank.

I shall be here for them, unless I am dead." At this moment Jane appeared, pressing her mother to take off her wet clothes, and Mrs Crawley went with her daughter to the kitchen. The one red-armed young girl who was their only servant was sent away, and then the mother and the child discussed how best they might prevail with the head of the family.
