There are groups of women of every age, decked out in their smartest clothes, crowds of mousmés with aigrettes of flowers in their hair, or little silver top-knots like Oyouki, pretty little physiognomies, little narrow eyes peeping between slit lids like those of a new-born kitten, fat pale little cheeks, round, puffed-out, half-opened lips.
No, doubtless Southbourne would expect me to get off to-morrow or Monday morning at latest. He was and is the smartest newspaper man in England. Well, I still had four hours before I was due at Whitehall Gardens; and I must make the most of them.
Outcast, "are not apt to be exactly quiet in their minds when burglars are about, so I suggested that we shut up the house as if no one were living here, and to make it seem more natural like, I put two nails in the door, and climbed in by the window."

The smell of the meat will, of course, draw wolves an' panthers, but we can fix it so they can't get in." Taking sufficient provisions for themselves, they put the rest high up on the rafters.

"Sure," Bristow replied heartily, as if to fore-stall the other's dislike of the new-comer. "Even if he were no good, the best thing we could do would be to work with him.

The boy, a few hours afterwards, was so metamorphosed, being dressed in the smartest manner, with cane in hand and fifty pounds in his pocket, that he walked the streets in full confidence that not even his master or his fellow-apprentices would know him.
