Her complexion was always of a soft, paly, brunette tint, and though her cheeks showed signs that she was not young, her dark, soft, long-lashed eyes and sweet-looking lips made her face full of life and freshness; and the figure and long slender hands had the kind of grace that some people call willowy, but which is perhaps more like the general air of a young birch tree, or, as Hal had once said, 'Early pointed architecture reminded him of his mother.
Perhaps Emma's mind was the more formed and cultivated, but Violet's was the more discerning and diffident in judgment. Emma took the first opportunity of pouring out to her mother a perfect rapture about Mrs. Martindale, dwelling on her right views, and all that showed she had been well brought up. 'She is a sweet-looking creature, said Lady Elizabeth, 'and I do hope she is all she seems.
It isn't the cake itself it's the thought behind it. It has just made all the difference in the world. There just sample it, Miss Mitchell." The other Ida cut a generous slice from the cake and passed it to her guest. Her eyes were shining and her cheeks were flushed. She was really a very sweet-looking little thing not a bit like her usual pale, timid self. Ida ate the cake slowly.
I'd known him all his life, and his wife too, a mighty sweet-looking lady she was. I'd always thought Farwell was kind of a dreamer, and too excitable; he was always reading papers to literary clubs, and on the speech-making side he wasn't so bad he liked it; but he hadn't seemed to me to know any more about politics and people than a royal family would.
"Oh, what a pretty lady!" cried Gracie, holding out an eager hand for it. Max gave it to her, and Lulu sprang up and bent over her to get a good view of it also. "Who is it?" she asked. "Isn't she pretty? isn't she perfectly beautiful, and sweet-looking as she can be?" said Max, ignoring the question. "Yes, she's just lovely; but why don't you say who she is, if you know?"
I can see Lucy now in her riding-habit her fair hair hanging down her back, and her cheeks glowing with the air and exercise. She was very pretty, was my sister Lucy. People said I was handsomer than she was, and had a better figure and brighter eyes; but Lucy was a sweet-looking little thing, and no one could look at her without loving her.
Ruth loved her heartily, even while she was rather annoyed at the open expressions Jemima used of admiration. "Please, I really would rather not be told if people do think me pretty." "But it was not merely beautiful; it was sweet-looking and good, Mrs Postlethwaite called you," replied Jemima. "All the more I would rather not hear it. I may be pretty, but I know I am not good.
The lady comes from a distance, from Graz. Her father is an army officer I believe, and I don't think she was over-rich. But she's a very sweet-looking lady and her rich husband is very fond of her, any one can see that." "You said just now that they had gone away, where have they gone to?" "They've gone to Italy, sir. Mrs. Thorne was one of the few people who do not know Venice.
Why do men marry viragoes, pimply girls with incipient moustaches? Why do beautiful heiresses choose thick-lipped, little men who bully them? Why are old bachelors, generally speaking, sympathetic, kind-hearted men; and old maids, so many of them, sweet-looking and amiable?" "I think," said the Old Maid, "that perhaps " But there she stopped. "Pray go on," said the Philosopher.
"I should have known you in a minute, although you are " He paused and flushed, for Cary had said, "She isn't exactly handsome, but very sweet-looking with pretty, eager eyes and fair hair."
