It is a matter this time of decent behavior; no theatre morals. She must present herself as the daughter of a brave soldier, killed on the battle-field. Therefore, mind, sober manners, schoolgirl's clothes, virtue of the best quality; that's the watchword. If I need Cesarine, and if she answers my purpose, I will give her fifty thousand francs on my uncle's death.
Hamlin became suddenly deeply interested in a framed pencil drawing which hung on the wall. It was evidently a schoolgirl's amateur portrait, done by Mrs. Rivers. Deacon Turner halted quickly by his side as the others passed out which was exactly what Mr. Hamlin expected. "Do you know the face?" said the deacon eagerly. Thanks to the faithful Melinda, Mr. Hamlin did know it perfectly.
She could not, therefore, seize the salient points from the pamphlets and books which she glanced through. The paper was at last produced, and was not so good as the ordinary schoolgirl's essay. It was feeble, without metaphor, without point, without illustration. She did not dare to read it over twice.
'Do you mean that you cannot write well if you choose? 'It is like other arts an inspiration. Dogberry was deep when he said it came by nature. 'Then make no more attempts. No. That schoolgirl's niggle is worse than the first. 'Fanny, as I told you, said Louis, looking vacantly up in resigned despair, yet not without the lurking expression of amusement, 'I will try again. 'No, I thank you.
Faith, seated at a little writing table at the farther end of the room, busied in copying into her album, in a clear, neat, but rather stiff schoolgirl's hand, the oracle of the night before, did not at once notice that she was addressed. "Faith, child! don't you hear?" "Oh, yes, aunt. What is it?" "I want you to go to a what-d'ye-call-it office with me, to-day."
"So you see, Miss McDonald," said Philip, "that writers cannot graft legends on the old stock." "That depends upon the writer," returned the Scotch woman, shortly. "I didn't see the schoolgirl's essay."
Well, you see, it's this way, Yetive: he is some sort of a fugitive not a criminal, you know but just some one they are hunting for, I don't know why. He wouldn't tell me. That was perfectly right, if he felt that way, wasn't it?" "And he had fought a lion in your defense," supplemented Yetive, with a schoolgirl's ardor. "And I had shot him in the arm, too," added Beverly.
"Day is here," said the Indian. Jim opened his eyes to see the bright red sun crimsoning the eastern hills, and streaming gloriously over the colored forests. He raised himself on his elbow to look around. Nell was still asleep. The blanket was tucked close to her chin. Her chestnut hair was tumbled like a schoolgirl's; she looked as fresh and sweet as the morning.
Going to her room to inquire into the nature of her sudden illness, he was refused admittance, and shrewdly deciding that his daughter had been worsted in a schoolgirl's dispute in which she appeared always to be engaged, he left her to herself.
I looked upon you from the first as the most promising of my pupils. I overlooked the mechanical imperfections of your work, the utter lack of finish, the crudeness of your drawing. I said to myself, 'this will come. It seems that I was mistaken. You cannot draw. Your fingers are even now as stiff as a schoolgirl's. You will never be able to draw. You have the ideas.
