You'd sort of fit into the Dayton picture, with your braids, and those ruffly things you wear!" Margaret said simply, "I would love to meet her," and began slowly to draw on her gloves.
A couch by a corner window was provided with many ruffly fluffy pillows, covered with green silk, and a knitted afghan of soft green wool lay folded at the foot. Two or three vases of mignonette and ferns harmonized with the general effect, and gave the room a delightful fragrance.
The trays were full, as Angel had said, of women's things; delicate, ruffly frocks of pink and lilac; and undergarments edged with yellowing lace.

"He isn't much just to look at, but he's the whitest man I ever knew. You wait here a minute and I'll go find him" which was a foolish thing for him to do, as he afterward found out.

David took her in his arms appreciatively. "You little baby," he said adoringly, "you look younger every day. Will you ever grow up?

And so passionately alive was she to everything concerning Jeffrey that it seemed base of a woman once belonging to him to parade lacy trifles in ruffly bags when he was condemned to coarse, hard usages.
