At any rate, she was powerfully affected; Colorat and Champion, following her at a little distance, thought her transfigured. At a certain sport Veronique was struck with the stern harsh aspect of the steep and rocky beds of the dried-up torrents. She found herself longing to hear the sound of water splashing through those scorched ravines. "The need to love!" she murmured.
A knock brought the notary himself to the door, a little dried-up man, with keen face, and eyes incredibly bright. My companion explained our errand in laborious French, supplemented by much gesticulation it is wonderful how the hands can help one to talk! and after a time the little Frenchman caught his meaning, and bustled away to get his hat and coat, scenting a fat fee.
The little figures in costume, coloured prints, Swiss carvings, French knicknacks, are preserved in many a Hillside cottage as treasured relics of 'our young lady. Many years later, Martyn recognised a Hillside native in a back street in London by a little purple-blue picture of Vesuvius, and thereby reached the soft spot in a nearly dried-up heart.
Keeler's hand trembled a little, but that was the only symptom of his recent "vacation" which the youth could notice. Certain vivid remembrances of his father's bad humor on mornings following convivial evenings recurred to him. Was it possible that this odd, precise, dried-up little man had been on a spree for four days? It did not seem possible.
He had been out of his head for days and days. To Mr. Bowdoin's peppery query why the devil she had not sent for him, Mrs. Hughson had nothing to say. It had never occurred to her, perhaps, that the well-being of such a quaint, dried-up old chap as Jamie could be a matter of moment to his wealthy employers whom she had never known. "Can I see him?" asked Mr. Bowdoin.
If I were to guess Sally Hetheridge, I might come as near as I shall to the truth." Laura laughed. "You know better," said she. "Frank Addison is the last man to marry a dried-up old tailoress." "I don't know that he is; according to his theories of women and marriage, Sally would make him happy. She is true-hearted, I am sure, generous, kind, affectionate, sensible, and poor.
She was most active, whisking about this way and that inside the flower; and at intervals she turned to stare at Martin, who kept getting nearer and nearer to watch her until his face nearly touched the flower; and whenever she looked at him she wore an exceedingly severe expression on her small dried-up countenance. It seemed to Martin that she was very angry with him for some reason.
In the spring, when the sap was mounting in the trunk, he asked himself, were the dried-up particles of blood mounting with it: to make out more obviously this year than last, the leaf- screened figure of the young man, swinging in the wind? 'However, he turned his Money over and over, and still over. He was in the dark trade, the gold-dust trade, and most secret trades that yielded great returns.
It is positively asserted that General Scott's first impression was to court-martial Lyon for this breach of discipline, for having acted on his own patriotic responsibility. Can Scott be such a dried-up, narrow-minded disciplinarian, and he the Egeria of Lincoln! Oh! oh! Diplomats tell me that Seward uses the dictatorial I, speaking of the government. Three cheers for the new Louis XIV.!
Do the dead fear death; is it not rather the living? No, the dead laugh at the living and their fears." Thus by the hour would they sit and talk in friendly guise, he already old, dried-up and misshapen, with his bulbous head and monstrous double-sided face; she young, modest, tender, and charmed with life as with a story or a dream.
