Everyone sitting in this antechamber experienced the same feeling of respect and even fear when the enormously high study door opened and showed the figure of a rather small old man, with powdered wig, small withered hands, and bushy gray eyebrows which, when he frowned, sometimes hid the gleam of his shrewd, youthfully glittering eyes.
First came Count de Chaumont, his face plowed with lines; no longer the trim gentleman, youthfully easy, and in his full maturity, that he had been when I first saw him at close range. He sat down on a camp seat by my cot, and I asked him before he could speak "Where is Madame de Ferrier?" "She's dead," he answered. "I don't believe it." "You're young. I'm going back to France for a while.
The matron who entertained us displayed piety, restless activity, humanity, intelligence, and a youthfully warm heart, all of which marked her as a type of that large class of elderly housewives who are using the education which they acquired in their girlhood in the East to form new and model communities on these wide and rich plains.
An antique, though youthfully dressed, typist, by the railing near the door, showed our friend to the X. Y. Z. Co., who was seated at a bleak-looking desk in one of the little alcoves. The alcove contained, besides the "Co." It was a "demonstrator" that was wanted, on a commission basis, for a fluid to cleanse silver.
The angry girl's face grew even redder, so that now she resembled no longer a carrot but a wet beetroot. The only person in the room to be refreshingly and youthfully indignant, and all aflame with a deep anger, she looked truly beautiful in her ingenuous exasperation. "Here is something new!" she cried. "Whispering is forbidden!
The lawyer, a youthfully alert man of sixty years, trimly gray as to garb, hair, and mustache, sat idly watching him, yet with eyes that looked so intently that they seemed to listen. For fully five minutes the two men had been pulling at their cigars in silence when the millionaire spoke. "Ned, what am I going to do with my money?"
Her side face, in particular, nothing could tame; the exquisite ear, defined by a diamond, showed youthfully against the dark hair looped thickly just behind it, the full chin and curved lips were always on the point, seemingly, of breaking into a smile, whereas the front face betrayed both age and agitation by the vertical lines of the forehead and by the strained expression of the eyes, oftener fiery and worried than calm and pleasing.
And besides," with spirit, "I never could see why women couldn't wear what they choose, so long as it is decent." There was no denying that hers were both becoming and "decent." Modeled after the usual riding costume, both coat and breeches were youthfully, rather than mannishly, tailored; and the narrow, vertical stripe of the dark gray material served to make her slenderness almost girlish.
Recklow gazed heavily upon her. But if the young fail rapidly, they also respond quickly. "Come into the house," Perhaps it was the hot broth with wine in it that brought a slight colour back into her ghastly face the face once so youthfully lovely but now as delicate as the mask of death itself.
His mother's heart still palpitated youthfully; she showed herself in no haste to take her stand in the ranks of the elder generation. "Yes," Mrs. Rhodes proceeded, "you must get into business, and then we shall have to find some nice girl for you." "The same thoughtful Aunt Lydia," he observed, ironically.
