The delightful M. Lontane, in khaki riding breeches, he, as all police, ride bicycles his khaki helmet tipped rakishly over his cigarette, blew a ringlet. "C'est comme ça. We would not press our victory," he said gallantly. "We French are generous. We have hearts."
These ladies seem to have chosen for their model the touraco or cockatoo, they have never heard of "Kikeriki," and the effect is at first wondrously grotesque. Presently the eye learns to admire pretty Fanny's ways; perhaps the pleureuse, the old English corkscrew ringlet, might strike the stranger as equally natural in a spaniel, and unnatural in a human.
One curl of a girl's ringlet, one hair of a whisker, will turn the scale against them all in a minute. They did not weigh with Emmy more than with other women.
Laura bent her head, and, feigning to arrange a displaced ringlet on the head of her mistress, she said, in low, earnest tones: "Pardon me, gracious mistress; but will you tell me who is that young cavalier in the recess of the window opposite?" "Certainly, my dear," replied the duchess in the same tone of voice.
It may cost as much as a thousand pianos or as much as three square miles of farms in Indiana.

His moccasins, and his blanket, which was draped on his arm and fell in picturesque folds to his feet, were fringed with tufts of hair the black, the gray, the auburn, the golden ringlet of beauty, the red lock from the forehead of the Scottish or the Northern soldier, the snowy tress of extreme old age, the flaxen down of infancy all were there, dreadful reminiscences of the chief's triumphs in war.
They had been formally betrothed on that occasion by the Papal Nuncio in the presence of the French King and all the Court, and he had returned to the Escurial bearing with him a little ringlet of yellow hair, and the memory of two childish lips bending down to kiss his hand as he stepped into his carriage.
She finished her story by suddenly holding to view the long, bright ringlet which once adorned the fair head now resting in the grave. Her plan was successful, for bursting into tears Harry wept nearly two hours. From that time he seemed better, and was frequently found bathed in tears, and bending over Lizzie's Bible, which now was his daily companion. Lucy, too, seemed greatly changed.
And so, when four special slaves have piled up the headdress, out of a perforated box this glistening powder is showered.

Soon Sabina will start for the Temple of Cybele. Ah!
