"Very well, master," said Barker, opening his round eyes to their roundest as he disappeared from the room. "What shall you say to him?" asked Christian. "The plain truth," answered Dr. Grey, smiling. "It is the only weapon, offensive or defensive, that an honest man need ever use."
Glory felt now that she would never need to ask about the "Angels" for the small creature before her answered all these unspoken inquiries; a mite of a thing, in silken white, with glistening golden curls and the roundest, loveliest of big blue eyes, who sat on the floor smiling and gurgling in an unknown language, yet gravely regarding Bo'sn who, firm upon his haunches, as gravely regarded this astonishing intruder.
Fischer wrote to me recently about an intended performance of "Cellini" at Dresden. This is as yet a secret, which I, for my part, should like to see made public very soon. The opera is Berlioz's freshest and roundest work, and its failure in Paris and London must be attributed to low villainy and misapprehension.
The young man rose, holding out a hand. "I'm glad to meet you, sir. I shall be back in a minute. I'll bring him right up." His step rang quick on the rock outside. The two old men looked at each other. Uncle William's face wore its roundest smile. "I wouldn't be s'prised if he stayed quite a spell." He brought a chair and planted it in front of the stranger. "Set down."
Pelz turned then into an interior that was as pink and as silk as the inside of a bud satin walls with side brackets softly simulating candles; a Canet bed, piled with a careful riot of sheerest and roundest of pillows; that long suit of the interior decorator, the chaise-longue; the four French engravings in their gilt frames; the latest original Josephine's secretaire; the shine of a white adjoining bathroom.
With her, moreover, she had been perfectly straightforward; she had never concealed her high opinion of Gilbert Osmond. After their union Isabel discovered that her husband took a less convenient view of the matter; he seldom consented to finger, in talk, this roundest and smoothest bead of their social rosary. "Don't you like Madame Merle?" Isabel had once said to him.
She opened them to their roundest extent as her grandmamma came down-stairs, and she tried to take shelter behind her brother from the ceremonious kiss, while Johnnie tightly squeezed his aunt's hand, and Lady Martindale was quite as much afraid of them as they could be of her. So began the visit a very different one from any Violet had hitherto paid at Martindale.
He talked gaily, genially, in his roundest tones and with his easiest gestures; never had he conveyed a completer sense of unhurried power; but Ralph noticed for the first time the crow's-feet about his eyes, and the sharpness of the contrast between the white of his forehead and the redness of the fold of neck above his collar. "Do you mean to say it's not going through?" "Not this time, anyhow.
"How silent comes the water round that bend! Not the minutest whisper does it send To the o'erhanging sallows" But here he stopped suddenly, though Jan's black eyes were at their roundest, and his attention almost breathless. "There, there! I'm an old fool, and for making you as bad. Poetry's not your business, you understand: I'm giving ye no encouragement to dabble with the fine arts.
Few, if any, of the older people of Lorette speak English, Huron and French being the only languages at their command. Since the building of the great reservoir, however, many of the rising generation are picking up the English tongue in its roundest Irish form. Previously, matters were the reverse.
