The distance between you and her is too great, and I cannot conceive how the beauty of her countenance can thus fill your whole being. A waiting-girl! yes, I repeat the name which offends your ear: a waiting-girl! Everywhere will it be repeated. And you?
Many times have I followed, with eager step, the waiting-girl when she went out to shake the table cloth, to get the crumbs and small bones flung out for the cats. The water, in which meat had been boiled, was as eagerly sought for by me. It was a great thing to get the privilege of dipping a piece of bread in such water; and the skin taken from rusty bacon, was a positive luxury.
The fencing-master of the Prussians had declared his intention of fighting a pitched battle sabres and no bandages with the fencing-master of the Rhiners. It was to be hoped that neither would be badly hurt, as they were both good teachers and worth their salaries. There was a new waiting-girl at the Stamm-Kneipe where they dined, and of course all the foxes would fall in love.
The name was called; it was one not unfamiliar to our ears, and the bearer of it the Delilah of our tea-table, Avis as she was known in the school and elsewhere rose in her place and came forward, so that for the first time on that day, we looked upon her. It was a sensation for The Teacups. Our modest, quiet waiting-girl was the best scholar of her year.
Proceeding by a narrow passage, she passed under Li Wan's back windows, and went along the wall ornamented with creepers on the west.

They went up a flight of stone steps, and were met at the door by a blind waiting-girl, who ushered them into the visitors' parlor. "Is she blind-eyed?" whispered Flyaway, gazing at her earnestly.
The old man became more animated, and now confided to him, half mysteriously, what made Eva so honorable in the eyes of his wife, and what was, indeed, really very nice of her.

Evelyn, the grandfather of my young charge, when upon his travels, in the capacity of a tutor. His unhappy marriage, immediately upon his return to England, with Madame Duval, then a waiting-girl at a tavern, contrary to the advice and entreaties of all his friends, among whom I was myself the most urgent, induced him to abandon his native land, and fix his abode in France.
The thought banished the self-control she had regained and sent her weakly on to the side of the bed with her face hidden in her hands. Was he there?
