Accepting life as it came, Thirza showed no dismay, but her cheeks grew a little pinker, and her eyes a little rounder. She took up a sprig of mignonette, and said placidly: "Oh, my dear!" "Think of it, Thirza that child! Why, it's only a year or two since she used to sit on my knee and tickle my face with her hair." Thirza went on arranging her flowers.
Here Mostyn left them, while Jack and Nevill went down Regent street. "A bit of a rounder, that chap," said Nevill. "He's not your sort. What have you been doing with yourself for the last two weeks? I've not seen you since you sailed for India, early in the summer." "How did you find me to-night?" asked Jack, in a tone which suggested that he did not want to be found.
Apart from that, and to speak of what most immediately concerns us at present, I am convinced that within this stone will be found the true clue to the author of the murder." "You don't say so," gasped Lady Ruth, her round eyes rounder than ever. "I found some directions in the handwriting of the murdered man," went on Gimblet, "which I could not understand at first.
'And how do they get up there, mother? asked Richard, who listened with all his ears. 'Why, they go round and round, and ever the rounder the higher, as a fly might crawl up a corkscrew.
And the brass balls on the iron railings shone much brighter than ever; one would have thought they were polished on account of the visit; and it was as if the carved-out trumpeters for there were trumpeters, who stood in tulips, carved out on the door blew with all their might, their cheeks appeared so much rounder than before.
As he opened the envelope, a gaudy caricature of a gentleman with reddened nose, paste-diamond pin, and flowered vest met his eyes.

Just wait until school was over. He'd fix him for that.
Ann, after a solemn promise of secrecy, told her about the indentures one day. Hannah listened with round, serious eyes; her brown hair was combed smoothly down over her ears. She was a veritable little Puritan damsel herself. "If I could only get the papers, I wouldn't have to mind her, and work so hard," said Ann. Hannah's eyes grew rounder. "Why, it would be sinful to take them!" said she.
There is no race of men more robust and swifter in running than the Caribs. This practice, so common heretofore in the islands and among several tribes of the Caribs of Parima and French Guiana, is not observed in the missions which we visited. The men there have foreheads rounder than those of the Chaymas, the Otomacs, the Macos, the Maravitans and most of the inhabitants of the Orinoco.
That's the pride of the cobbler's dog. If he's uncomfortable, he'll scratch until he's comfortable again. And he says, "If you can't get the best take the next best"; and runs about with Mrs. Wilmot at his heels, and is bored all the time. That's Nevile all over." His eyes grew rounder. "You'll have to go, you know." She admitted that. "Yes, I must." Then she sighed. "I don't want to go.
But none of the birds cared for it at all, except Long Bill Wren; and even he remarked that the house would be better "if it was rounder." As for Jasper Jay, he told Dickie Deer Mouse that, in his opinion, the house was ruined. "It's nothing but a trap," he declared. "And I'd hate to go to sleep inside it."
