"I wonder whether he'll write or come." Because it seemed to her entirely impossible that, in spite of her prayer, he should put the letter in the fire and let her go. Surely he too remembered the dear old Pool, and the temple, and the rest! "The fact is," observed Lord Thrapston complacently, "the girl very much resembles me in disposition." Calder's eyes grew larger and rounder.
All the blazin' idiots in Christendom is climbin' over me wantin' to know what I'll lay this and what I'll lay that. They're like a lot of blasted mosquitos. A rounder comes up an' makes a bet; if it's small p'r'aps I don't twig his mug at all, just grabs the dough an' calls his number.
My eyes were half-closed and I saw things rather dimly, particularly one pot on the window-sill, which, instead of being red and regular pot-shaped, seemed to be rounder and light-coloured, and to have a couple of eyes, and grinning white teeth.
The old gold and silver coins of the country were of ancient and unknown origin, as a rule, but some of them were Roman; they were ill-shapen, and seldom rounder than a moon that is a week past the full; they were hammered, not minted, and they were so worn with use that the devices upon them were as illegible as blisters, and looked like them.
In the middle class and the people, the ugliness is more pleasant and sometimes becomes a kind of prettiness. The eyes are still too small and hardly able to open, but the faces are rounder, browner, more vivacious; and in the women there remains a certain vagueness in the features, something childlike which prevails to the very end of their lives.

'How like an angel she is! thought Celestina. 'Who's? said Alie. 'Do you mean Mr. Fairchild's? Why don't you explain properly, Biddy? 'Yes, that's it, said the stranger child. 'I'm Celestina Fairchild. I'll show you the shop. 'Thank you, said the elder girl. But Biddy would scarcely let her say the two words. Her eyes were very open, looking rounder than ever.
"'Really, John, I'm not sure, Aunt Rose said, looking at me through her glasses, just as if I were a queer bug, or butterfly such as she'd never seen before. Uncle John looked vexed. "'You certainly see that her cheeks are rosy, and she is rounder than when she first came to me, he said.
"But say, dere's a lot of our money on ye I got two plunks meself, 'n' say, you just gotter fight anyway. Bud says so " "I can't help what Bud says; I ain't comin'." "Not comin'!" exclaimed Larry, his eyes rounder than ever. "No!"
