Yet this isn't a whimper, Matilda Anne, for when I turn in I sleep like a child. No more counting and going to the medicine-chest for coal-tar pills. I abjure them. I, who used to have so many tricks to bring the starry-eyed goddess bending over my pillow, hereby announce myself as the noblest sleeper north of the Line!
She had carried down her little scissors the night before, and had snipped it, and here it was an omen for her own rose-colored future! Starry-eyed she lay back among her pillows. "Oh, Polly-Ann, Polly-Ann," she said tensely, to the small cat on the cushions, "if I should ever wake up and find that it wasn't true " Polly-Ann stared at her with mystical green orbs.
There was the sight of the bride and groom in the receiving-line, now no longer badly executed graven images, but quite themselves Molly starry-eyed, triumphant, astonishingly beautiful, her husband distinguished, ugly, self-possessed, easily the most interesting personality in the room; there was the difficult moment of the presentation, the handclasp with Felix, the rapturous vague kiss from Molly, evidently too uplifted to have any idea as to the individualities of the people defiling before her; then the passing on into the throng, the eating and drinking and talking with acquaintances from the Lydford summer colony, of whom there were naturally a large assortment.
The next moment he fell back in amazement before the impetuous rush of a starry-eyed, flushed-cheeked young woman who demanded: "Where is he, Pete?" "Miss Billy!" gasped the old man. Then he saw Aunt Hannah Aunt Hannah with her bonnet askew, her neck-bow awry, one hand bare, and the other half covered with a glove wrong side out.
All the ideals of her self-blinded life were being swept away in the glaring flame of reality. Thornton was still infatuated and went to great lengths to prove to his pale, starry-eyed wife her power over him.
And around them, wandered, starry-eyed, a useless young person who hugged to her heart a joyous dream of a woman in a garden a woman in a little lace cap and a trailing rose-colored dressing-gown, a woman who would say, "Oh Felicia! I hope you'll be happy today in the garden!"
On the other side of this hilarious party was a large, sober-faced Englishman who looked like a stockbroker, Roger said, and with him a little humming-bird of a girl, starry-eyed, infantile belonging to musical comedy, no doubt. What a medley! "Look! Over there " Esther touched her companion's arm suddenly. "Do you see? There's Captain Holliday and with his fat Spanish friend. Isn't she dreadful?"
We have started to make good on that promise. I am sorry if I step on the toes of those Americans who, playing party politics at home, call that kind of foreign policy "crazy altruism "and "starry-eyed dreaming." Meanwhile, the war in Sicily and Italy goes on.
You get starry-eyed every time you start talking about the hyperdrive!" Alan opened the book to a dog-eared page. "I know it can be done eventually. I'm sure of it. I'm even sure Cavour himself actually succeeded in building a hyperspace vessel." "Sure," Rat said drily, switching his long tail from side to side. "Sure he built one. That explains his strange disappearance.
And in that moment he loved her, just as something gave him confidence and faith in the starry-eyed woman whose hands were in his master's. Then Yellow Bird called, and the girl went to her mother, and Jolly Roger hugged her in his arms and kissed her on the scarlet mouth she turned up to him.
