This man performs wonderful feats with cannon-balls, but they are nothing to Jerry's graceful acts with the human head, which he would take in hand and keep in a perfect state of equilibrium, balancing the pressure of one set of fingers by the resistance of the other; the same when towelling, and, above all, when finishing with a pair of the lieutenant's ivory-backed brushes.
She thought, only to dismiss them for their banality, of a box of the finest cigars, of a soft flannel dressing-gown, a bath robe of Turkish towelling embroidered by herself, of a velvet jacket, and of a pair of house shoes.
All about his feet and knees were scarlet blankets, not folded, not formally unfolded, but the only phrase is shied about. And a great bar sinister of roller towelling stretched across the front of the window on which was a ticket, and the ticket said in bold black letters: "LOOK!" So soon as Mr.
It was too late to begin his treatment that day, but he went with his wife to buy a cup, with a strap for hanging it over his shoulder, and he put it on so as to be an invalid with the others at once; he came near forgetting the small napkin of Turkish towelling which they stuffed into their cups, but happily the shopman called him back in time to sell it to him.
'What are you putting that little pile of money by itself for? 'For you, Charley. 'What do you mean? 'Get out of bed, Charley, and get washed and dressed, and then I'll tell you. Her composed manner, and her low distinct voice, always had an influence over him. His head was soon in a basin of water, and out of it again, and staring at her through a storm of towelling.

"Pastor Lahmann?" repeated Miriam. "None other, Madame." "Have you seen him?" went on Miriam dimly, wishing that she might be released. "Scots wha hae, no! But I saw Lily's frills."
She went to her father's door; Longstreet was in the final stages of his own toilet-making, his face red and shiny from his towelling, his sparse hair on end, his whole being in that condition of bewildering untidiness which comes just before the ultimate desired orderliness quite as the thick darkness before the dawn.
"Do you mean you will come with me?" "Yes, Peregrine." "Then I'll wash." "Yes, I brought you the soap and towel." So we came to the brook where she sat to watch while I performed my so necessary ablutions. "I have no wish to hinder your work," said I, towelling vigorously. "No, Peregrine." "And I am quite able to find my way to Tonbridge alone." "Yes, Peregrine."
The guardian wore a peasant's hat, rotted by sun and rain, eaten like the leaves of a cabbage that has harbored several caterpillars, and mended, here and there, with white thread.
