At the right, Sydya, myself, the old manicure, Rosita, Barouf, the barber, another woman and two white Tuareg, grave and attentive, exactly opposite those on the left. "Give me one," said the Hetman. Sydya made a negative gesture. Koukou drew, passed a four-spot to the Hetman, gave himself a five. "Eight," announced Bielowsky. "Six," said pretty Sydya. "Seven," broke in Koukou.
"Why, if an alligator got into my tent," said Eustace, "I simply wouldn't know what to do! I should be nonplussed." "Oh, it's just a knack," said Jane, carelessly. "You soon pick it up." "Nail-scissors!" "It ruined them, unfortunately. They were never any use again. For the rest of the trip I had to manicure myself with a hunting-spear." "You're a marvel!"
The barber trimmed the tufts from over Dave's ears and clipped the hair in his nose, while a tray was pushed up and a slatternly blonde began giving him a manicure. He began noticing that she carefully dumped his fingernail parings into a small jar. A few moments later, he found the barber also using a jar to collect the hair and shaving stubble.
And when a new girl comes into the shop boy, don't the buzzards buzz! I came here six months ago and they started it on me. But I wasn't born yesterday. I'd been a manicure in Indianapolis. And they're just the same in Indianapolis as they are in Chicago. And they're just the same in Podunk. "Now, I'm not going to mention any names.

Before they had decided definitely upon the extravagance of a henna rinse, which was only a timid sort of experiment and at best a mere compromise art and nature, Marion had applied the tonic. It seemed a shame to waste that now with a shampoo, and she did not dare to go for another dish of the tonic; so Kate sighed and consoled herself with a dollar saved, and went without the manicure also.
But about then you wake up with a violent start and decide that any sympathy you may have in stock should be reserved for personal use exclusively, because at this moment the dog trees the woodchuck at the base of that cherished tooth of yours and starts to dig him out. He is a very determined dog and very active, but he needs a manicure. You are struck by that fact almost immediately.
The carpet was blue also, and the heavy curtains over all the windows matched it, edged with, and embroidered in gold. The toilet-table, though simple enough in its arrangements, for Viola needed no cosmetics, no lotions, no manicure nor other evil inventions, was always a lovely object.
"Everybody I can," she retorted. "I worked in a beauty parlor for a little as a hairdresser and manicure. I'm out for the money, Hiram. I'm not a pickpocket yet, but that's because I don't know how to be one. But if you've got any loose change in your pockets watch out. I'm out for the coin. But here comes Al. He brought me down. He's going to set me up in business." "Drummond?" he asked.
