Shy it certainly was, poor wretch; it glowered upon me from under the branches like a bad conscience. Shyness could not hide hunger I never saw hungrier eyes than hers but it could hold it in check: the silkiest speech could not tempt her out, and when we threw pieces she only winced! What was to be done next was my work. Why "slippery"? Nameless.
And all round, among the humble nameless graves, the silkiest, finest grass grass that gives a kind of quality, as of long and exquisite descent, to thousands of Westmoreland fields grass that is the natural mother of flowers, and the sister of all clear streams. Daffodils grew in it now, though the daffodil hour was waning.
Although some of the rare patterns and some of the silkiest qualities are still made on hand-looms, the greater part of it is now made by machinery.

Miss Lovel, you behold me a humble ambassador, to beg, to entreat you to keep us waiting no longer "

To prevent accidents and a more easy delivery from the burr, the nut is annointed with a slight exudation of oil, which gives a soft, agreeable feeling as you hold it in your hand.
Stalky asked, in his silkiest tones. "The best man alive absolutely. He lets you blow your own nose yourself. The people call him" Adam jerked out some heathen phrase "that means the Man with the Stone Eyes, you know." "I'm glad of that. Because I've heard from other quarters" Stalky's sentence burned like a slow match, but the explosion was not long delayed. "Other quarters!"
Without being exactly pretty, she gave a general impression of jolly, healthy girlhood, and reminded one of an old-fashioned, sweet-scented cabbage rose that had just burst into bloom.
