There were two characters especially which this fine gentleman had studied during many years, and of which he knew all the plaits and windings, the character of the King, and the character of her who was Queen in every thing but name. But there ended Villeroy's acquirements. He was profoundly ignorant both of books and of business.
Her hair had been torn out of its plaits from the speed with which she had flown through the bushes. She stood still, and looked back as if she were terribly frightened. But the lad thought to himself that if she had run away with his drumsticks, she should pay for it. And off they ran again, she in front, and he behind.
The hair, brown with golden lights, was dressed in smooth plaits above the temples. The neck, 1351 somewhat long, emerged from a dark robe broadly indicated. "I do not know this, Sylvestre?" "No, it's an old thing." "A portrait, of course?" "My first." "You never did better; line, color, life, you have got them all." "You need not tell me that!
And then she had such a fine head of hair; raven-black and so becomingly arranged: a crown of thick plaits behind, and in front the longest, the glossiest curls I ever saw. She was dressed in pure white; an amber-coloured scarf was passed over her shoulder and across her breast, tied at the side, and descending in long, fringed ends below her knee.
Another one to provide for, he thought—and on this thought walked into the bedroom. The light thrown down by the shade fell dazzlingly on the white pillow sunk by the weight of her head reposing with closed eyes and dark hair done up in several plaits for the night. She woke up with the sound of her name in her ears, and saw her husband standing over her. “Winnie! Winnie!”
They dress their hair in a peculiar manner. It is plaited in a number of small plaits joining two larger ones which fall over the shoulders and unite in the middle of the back to form a long tail terminating with a tassel. The larger plaits are mixed with wool, this adds to their bulk, and increase the length of the tail, which often extends below the knees.
"What's that he said Ahab beware of Ahab there's something there!" Then unconsciously using the musket for a staff, with an iron brow he paced to and fro in the little cabin; but presently the thick plaits of his forehead relaxed, and returning the gun to the rack, he went to the deck.
"Where I get my brains from I don't know," he muttered teasingly, and put out his hand and traced the interweaving strands in one of her plaits. "What hair you've got!" he said. "I've never seen a woman with ..." He started violently and was silent. She cried out, "What is it?" But he answered, speaking clippedly, "Oh, nothing, nothing...."
Paula seemed dazed when she first woke, but soon she was smiling and listening to Betty's plans. "How young you look," said Betty, "almost as young as me." "I'm twenty-five." "You don't look it with your hair in those pretty plaits, and your nightie. You do have lovely nightgowns." "I'll get up now," said Paula. "Look out I nearly upset the tray."
On the quieter days of her convalescence she seemed, indeed, more Madonna than Magdalen as she sat against the pillows, her red-gold hair lying in two heavy plaits across her shoulders, her cheeks pale; the inner, consuming fires that smouldered in her eyes died down. Could there be another meaning in life than the pursuit of pleasure, than the weary effort to keep the body alive?
