His horse was rearing among the hissing geese, but neither horse nor geese appeared to engage him; his eyes were fixed upon me. The horse swerved so near that its long mane almost brushed against me. By an irresistible impulse I laid my ungloved hand upon it, but did not look at the rider. Carriage and horseman passed on, and William resumed his pace.
Out of all this he forms an ideal portrait, which is not a copy of your exact look at any one time or to any particular person. Such a portrait cannot be to everybody what the ungloved call "as nat'ral as life." Every good picture, therefore, must be considered wanting in resemblance by many persons.
Margaret kept her ungloved fingers upon Penrose's hand, and said only a cheerful word of encouragement now and then. Duncan waited in the cab, when they went into the big building. She was gone almost half an hour. Darkness came, and a sharp rain began to fall. He was half drowsy when she suddenly ran down the long steps and jumped in beside him.
They are sitting on a sofa resting, and glancing at some pictures opposite. Denise is busy with a homely farm scene that recalls her girlhood, and no one is in their vicinity. One small, white, ungloved hand rests on Violet's lap. Her face is sweet and serious, without the sad gravity that shadows it so often. Indeed, she is very happy.
One glance at the woman's ungloved hands made Josie wonder at the well-kept nails and dimpled knuckles. "No horny-handed daughter of toil, at least," was her mental note.

He bent down to take the slender hand in his, lifted it to his lips, and quickly let it go; but not before she had felt his tears upon it. She looked up a few minutes later, and the place was empty. Her tears fell thick and fast.
At last she looked up and turned toward him. They were alone on the deck in the faintness of the gathering twilight. "Claudius, you have kept your promise truly and well. Keep it keep it always." She held out her ungloved hand. "Always, my queen and my lady," and he kissed the white fingers once. "Hullo!" shouted the Duke, emerging from the cuddy. "Upon my word! Why, it's dinner time."
I've a place to fill some day.... But since you ask, I shall think also of myself. I shall come again to the old Payne fort." She gave him a look which said that she was not really unkind. And Canning immediately possessed her ungloved hand in both of his.

Had she left it there for two, I should have gone down on my knees before her, or have stood on my head at her feet have made a fool of myself in some way or another before the whole room full. She timed it to a nicety. "I don't want you to pay me compliments," she said, "I want us to be friends.
Not content with the concealment afforded by the mask, he had pulled his beaver low over his eyes and with one hand held the folds of the cloak about the lower part of his face. He rested the other ungloved hand upon the table and stared fixedly at Landless. "You have good eyes," he said at last, in a voice as muffled as his countenance. "It is a warm night," said Landless with a smile.
