"I thought you had been much farther than that," says my Aunt Kezia, in her dry way. Fanny stared, and Amelia gave a faint laugh. My Aunt Kezia said no more, but went on running tucks: and Amelia joined in the conversation between Cecilia and Mr Parmenter.
"He hunts for a tree or stub with a piece of loose bark hanging to it. In behind this he tucks his nest made of twigs, strips of bark and moss. He's a funny little fellow and I don't know of any one in all the great world who more strictly attends to his own business than does Seep-Seep the Brown Creeper. By the way, Peter, have you seen anything of Dotty the Tree Sparrow?"
The child came running in with the frock, delighted to have got her own way. "Aye, but it is dirty," said Quarles, and he became absorbed in the garment, nodding to the prattling child as she showed him tucks and lace. "And now about my pearls," said the contessa. Quarles put down the frock and stood up.
When she jumps rope or plays jacks or tag she does it with as much joy as her sister of happier circumstances but with a deftness foreign to the sheltered child she tucks away under her arm the baby, which after six weeks becomes almost a part of herself. Often we will fearfully exhort her to hold the baby's back, etc.
She would not trouble herself because she wore an old worked white frock of her mother's, taken up by tucks to suit her, and yellowed by frequent washing and long keeping. She would not fret because she could not spend money upon a hair-dresser. She must dress her own hair which was scanty, like every other outward adornment of hers.
As the stream of visitors steadily poured in, Dab remarked to Jenny Walters, "We shall have to enlarge the house, after all." "If it were only a dress, now!" "What then?" "Why, you could just let out the tucks. I've had to do that with mine." "Jenny, shake hands with me." "What for, Dabney?" "I'm so glad to meet somebody else that's outgrowing something."
You cannot see them without the aid of a microscope. All those parts of its food which the Anemone cannot digest, it throws out again. If you feed an Anemone on raw meat, it tucks the pieces into its mouth, and, some days after, throws out the hard part of the meat, having taken all the "goodness" from it.
Lois had on an old pink muslin dress that she had worn many a summer, indeed the tucks had been let down to accord with her growth, and showed in bars of brighter pink around the skirt.
A geisha tucks her robe well up to her knees; and the samisen strike up the quick melody, 'Kompira fund-fund. As the music plays, she begins to run lightly and swiftly in a figure of 8, and a young man, carrying a sake bottle and cup, also runs in the same figure of 8. If the two meet on a line, the one through whose error the meeting happens must drink a cup of sake.
I have heard thee declare an ardent love for the woman Patty. Am I of less account than a serving woman?" There was something persuasive and plaintive in his tone. "Patty makes my clothes and helps me with lessons when they are difficult, and she knows how to cure earache and pains, and lets me go with her to do errands, and tucks me up at night.
