She finished it as best she might, addressed it after the herald's spelling of the title, bound it with some of the Duchess's black floss silk wondering meanwhile, but little guessing that the pedlar knew, where was the tress that had bound her last attempt at correspondence, guessing least of all that that tress lay on a heart still living and throbbing for her.
If by chance you are a bachelor and if you are, you must put up with being looked down upon by everybody in Corea you have to let your hair grow long, part it carefully in the middle of your skull, and have it made up into a thick tress at the back of your head, which arrangement marks you out as a single man and an object of sport, for in the Land of the Morning Calm it seems that you can only be a bachelor under the two very circumstances under which we, in our land of all-day restlessness, generally marry, viz., if you are a fool and if you have not a penny to live upon!
We come across some noble grief that we think will lend the purple dignity of tragedy to our days, but it passes away from us, and things less noble take its place, and on some grey windy dawn, or odorous eve of silence and of silver, we find ourselves looking with callous wonder, or dull heart of stone, at the tress of gold-flecked hair that we had once so wildly worshipped and so madly kissed.
Here was a verse underlined; at some gracious passages the page was much fingered and worn; in one place there were stains that looked like the mark of tears; then again, in one page, there was a small tress of hair, golden hair, tied in a paper with a name across it, that seemed to be the name of a little sister of his mother's that died a child; and again there were a few withered flowers, like little sad ghosts, stuck through a paper on which was written his father's name the name of the sad, harsh, silent man whom Anthony had feared with all his heart.
I have written to her," and sent her many messages, bat never a word has she replied, save once" here Uncle Nat's voice grew tremulous as he added, "and then she sent me this look 'twas Fannie's hair," and he held to view a silken tress much like the one which lay next Howard Hastings's heart!
Kent, unwrapping a last bit of tissue-paper, found in his hands a long tress of hair. "See, Jeems, it has grown fast since I cut it that night." She leaned a little toward him, parting her hair with slim, white fingers so that he saw again where the hair had been clipped the night of Kedsty's death.
Women rather like this sort of childishness, and when they have granted you that, it is a snare spread for them which catches them." Marillac took the long, dark tress and held it near the candle; but his movement was so poorly calculated that the hair caught fire and was instantly destroyed. "A bad sign," exclaimed Gerfaut, who could not help laughing at his friend's dismayed look.
The repentant philosopher placed his hand on her lovely head, and lifted a tress of her soft hair. "Ah, child, child, you know little about it! What! will you sacrifice these glorious tresses to a hard and joyless course of study? For none can study Euclid with me with hair like this."
In that dusk she was unconscious of the fact that his fingers had found a long tress of her hair and were clutching it passionately. Remembering Duval as Jan had enshrined him in her heart, she said: "I have prayed many times that the great God might thank you, m'sieu." He raised a hand. For an instant it touched her soft, warm cheek and caressed her hair.
The lock of baby hair and the faded flowers caught his attention, and his breath came hard and pantingly, as for a moment he held the little golden tress which seemed almost to twine itself lovingly around his fingers. 'That must be her child's hair. You know I told you there was a little girl found with her. Would you like to see her? Frank said. 'No, no! Arthur answered, hastily.
