He is a shrewd-looking old man, with a dash of white blood in his composition; his hair curls tightly all over his head, but is elaborated on each side of his face into a single hard-twisted ringlet; short crisped whiskers, streaked with grey, encircle his face, and an imperial completes his hirsute attractions; his cheeks and forehead are marked with the small-pox.
As he had passed the Bower of Bloom a few days before, he saw Mossrose, who was combing out a jet-black ringlet, and held it up, as if for Woolsey's examination, with a peculiar grin. The tailor did not understand the joke, but he saw now what had happened. Morgiana had sold her hair for five guineas; she would have sold her arm had her husband bidden her.
"Oh!" he said. "Wait a minute! Those beans look good!" To the King's delight he took the dish out of the old woman's hand, examined it carefully, and when no one was looking slipped the ringlet into his pocket. Then he ate the beans every last one of them! The King gave the old woman some golden ducats and begged her to prepare another dish for the Prince on the morrow.
"Let it be true what you have writ, 'The Lord be between me and thee, forever!" EUPHORION. "I will not longer Earth-bound linger: Loosen your hold on Hand and on ringlet. Girdle and garment; Leave them: they're mine!" "Bethink thee, bethink thee To whom thou belongest! Say, wouldst thou wound us, Rudely destroying Threefold the beauty, Mine, his, and thine?"
"It's him; I'm sure of it," said Mrs. Hale, with a suppressed smile. Kate threw open the door smartly, to the extreme discomfiture of a tall, dark figure that already had slunk away from it. For all that, he was a good-looking enough fellow, with a moustache as long and almost as flexible as a ringlet.
The enchanting deceiver plays off all the little political artifices of her sex so naturally as to exclude all idea of art or premeditation. If she has a royally beautiful hand, the most perspicacious beholder will believe that it is absolutely necessary that she should twist, or refix, or push aside the ringlet or curl she plays with.
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.
"He has not given me up. He has not said so." "But he will give you up. He shall. You are mine now. Come!" He took her unresisting hand in his, and again they walked side by side, so close that the strong wind once more brushed the little ringlet against his cheek. It is a peculiarity of Grafton that the low swells around it, rolling away towards the mountains, look just alike everywhere.
Twice he was ready to order, "To horse," that he might fly to Lindisfarne and command that not one golden ringlet of her fair head be harmed, and twice he thought, "They dare not. I gave orders that she should be safe, though not at large." While thus love and repentance strove in the breast of the lord, the landlord began a weird tale, suggested by the speech of the Palmer.
The grandmother's coffin was then found to be filled with beautiful, glossy, living chestnut ringlets, into which her whole substance seems to have been transformed, for there was nothing else but these shining curls, the growth of half a century in the tomb. An old man, with a ringlet of his youthful mistress treasured on his heart, might be supposed to witness this wonderful thing.
