"Janet told me I could have the use of the parlor when any young men called! I don't think there are many to call. I haven't seen a young man in Valley Road yet, except the next-door hired boy Sam Toliver, a very tall, lank, tow-haired youth. He came over one evening recently and sat for an hour on the garden fence, near the front porch where Janet and I were doing fancy-work.
Blanche Trevellian, whom Neil had designated as tow-haired, and white-browed, was her grand-niece, and Neil's second cousin, and as heiress to ten thousand a year, she might develop into a desirable parti, notwithstanding her ordinary appearance now.
"I am going," cried Dinah, starting wildly to her feet and turning to the door. "You will stay here, my Didine. All is at an end. And is this fortune so lightly earned after all? Must I not marry a gawky, tow-haired creature, with a red nose, the daughter of a notary, and saddle myself with a stepmother who could give Madame de Piedefer points on the score of bigotry "
The old ladies except Mrs. Grant don't approve of Jonas, because he laughs and jokes and because he evidently likes the society of frivolous me better than theirs. "Somehow, Anne, I don't want him to think me frivolous. This is ridiculous. Why should I care what a tow-haired person called Jonas, whom I never saw before thinks of me? "Last Sunday Jonas preached in the village church.
"You may pay your tuition quarterly. You need not bother about the first instalment this month. Any time in October will do." It seemed as if Elnora's gasp of relief must have reached the soles of her brogans. "Did any one ever tell you how beautiful you are!" she cried. As the professor was lank, tow-haired and so near-sighted, that he peered at his pupils through spectacles, no one ever had.
A paddle blade narrowly missed his head. He dived. The Dutchman told me more about him that evening. I dined at the trader's house. He was a big-bodied tow-haired man who spoke English with the accent of a east-coast Scot, drank like a Swede, and viewed life through the eyes of a Spaniard that is, he could be diabolical without getting red in the face.
He gives up six years of his energy at that stage of his life when a man is ready to submit to the hardships of any apprenticeship to a petticoat, which he outstrips in the career of ingratitude, for the woman who has thrown over her first lover is certain sooner or later to desert the second. Adolphe is, in fact, a tow-haired German, who has not spirit enough to be false to Ellenore.
The tow-haired boy was sent head first into an ash-barrel, and Skipper, rather startled at the occurrence, took a little run down the avenue, strewing the pavement with eggs, sugar, canned corn, celery, and other assorted groceries. Perhaps this was why the grocer sold him. Skipper pulled a cart through the flat-house district for a while after that.
Then six miles of macadamized road showed us that the team could move. A railway ran between us and the banks of the Willamette, and another above us through the mountains. All the land was dotted with small townships, and the roads were full of farmers in their town wagons, bunches of tow-haired, boggle-eyed urchins sitting in the hay behind.
Then a tow-haired boy, who jerked viciously on the lines and was fond of using the whip, drove him recklessly about the streets and avenues. But one day the tow-haired boy pulled the near rein too hard while rounding a corner and a wheel was smashed against a lamp-post.
