Of course all this thinking on Sir Hugo's part was eminently premature, only a fortnight or so after Grandcourt's death. But it is the trick of thinking to be either premature or behind-hand. However, he sent the note to Deronda's chambers, and it found him there. "O, welcome, pure-eyed Faith, white-handed Hope, Thou hovering angel, girt with golden wings!"
If you want to know more particularly how he looked, call to your remembrance some tawny-whiskered, brown-locked, clear-complexioned young Englishman whom you have met with in a foreign town, and been proud of as a fellow-countryman well-washed, high-bred, white-handed, yet looking as if he could deliver well from 'the left shoulder and floor his man: I will not be so much of a tailor as to trouble your imagination with the difference of costume, and insist on the striped waistcoat, long-tailed coat, and low top-boots.
It seemed to me that the most modern owner conceivable in this serene fine place was some bearded scholarly man in a black cassock, gentle-voiced and white-handed, or some very soft-robed, grey gentlewoman. And there was my uncle holding his goggles in a sealskin glove, wiping the glass with a pocket-handkerchief, and asking my aunt if Lady Grove wasn't a "Bit of all Right."
It's only right that I should give him up; I, indeed, who fancied myself in love with a white-handed, yellow-haired villain." At this point in her meditations, some one rapped softly at her door. "Claire, dear," said a soft voice, "open your door; I want to come in." It was Mrs. Ralston, and Claire advanced slowly and turned the key in the lock.
It was the copy of the illustration he had promised her, the fairy shallop with its sails set wide, coming across a sea of Dreams, and at the prow, white-handed Hope, the angel girt with golden wings, which swept back over the sides of the vessel. "Think of having a painting by the famous Milford Norris Locke!" exclaimed Barby. She hung over it admiringly.
Hearken, Piótra!... Dost remember one of those white-handed lazy men was talking to thee the summer before last? I remember.... What of it? They're going to hang him to-day, I hear; that's the order which has been issued. Has he kept on rebelling? He has. Yes.... Well, see here, brother Mitry: can't we get hold of a bit of that rope with which they are going to hang him?
He was slender, young, pale-eyed, pale-haired, white-handed, anemic-looking. He was patently of the sort which considers such a thing as carelessness in the matter of a crease in one's trousers a crime of crimes. His tie, adjusted with a precision which was a science, was of a pale lavender. His socks were silk and of the same color.
The idealized farmer, as he is depicted by these white-handed rhetoricians who, like John Paul, "would never lay hand to a plow, unless said plow should actually pursue him to a second story, and then lay hands on it only to throw it out of the window," and the phlegmatic, overworked, horny-handed tillers of the soil are no more alike than Fenimore Cooper's handsome, romantic, noble, and impressive red man of the forest and the actual Sioux or Apache, as regarded by the cowboy of the West.
These should enjoy the advantages of the inhabitants of Spitzbergen, where, through the winter's day, the stars shine clear as through the winter's night. I have neither summer nor polar stars, but I wait for that long night wherein I shall sleep peacefully." "Mrs. Gerome, defiant pride bars your heart from the white-handed peace that even now seeks entrance.
"Well, is that a reason why you should attend a diplomatic soirée, and force yourself to bow and smirk to a number of white-handed little dandies whom you despise?"
