She was one of those rare exceptions among Parisian ladies she was a perfectly happy wife; nay, more, she was in love with her own husband, a fact which, considering the present state of society both in France and England, rendered her almost contemptible in the eyes of all advanced thinkers. She was plump and jolly in appearance; round-eyed and brisk as a lively robin.
We appoint some one to look after him specially, and a certain group have him in their charge so the other frats won't have a chance to rush him " "I see. The other frats being represented by the devil, I suppose," said the round-eyed boy keenly without a smile. Allison stared at him, and then broke into a laugh again. "Exactly," he cried; "you've got onto the idea.
Sergeant Wilkes turned for a moment to the child, who met his gaze, round-eyed; then to his friend again. But the corporal's head had dropped forward on his chest. The sergeant touched his shoulder, to make sure; then, with one look behind him, but ignoring the child, reeled out of the room and down the stairs, as in a dream.
After much knocking, Priscilla appeared, round-eyed and gasping, and verified his worst fears with 'Gone to Bochattle. However, she explained that only one gentleman was gone to dine there; the other was rowing him round the point, with grandfather; they would soon be back indeed they ought, for the tide was so low, they would have to land down by the shingle bar.
Dark night, with sea breezes moaning in the pine trees, outside; raying light from within falling on the lay brother leaning in the doorway and on the two figures standing without: on Christopher, grave, subdued, weary, yet now as always of pleasant and impressive address, and on the small boy who stands beside him round-eyed and expectant, his fatigue for the moment forgotten in curiosity and anticipation.
Neither of these can be our lady, who must therefore be the last and youngest, this child of eighteen or so, round-cheeked, round-eyed and serious, with critical lids, like those of the Farnese Hera, and a beautiful mouth: Sanchia-Josepha, crouched on the floor at the feet of Philippa.
Mr. Trask turned and went his way up the alley, across which the sun made level rays of flame. The Collector sat in thought. He turned his head, surprised by the sound of a sob. A small child had drawn near a toddle of four, trailing her wooden doll with its head in the dust and stood a few paces in front of Ruth Josselin, round-eyed, finger at mouth. "Steady, my girl. . . . Steady!"
Unwashed, with rank and matted hair and a disfiguring black beard upon his face, and the erstwhile splendid suit of black camlet in which he had been taken prisoner now reduced to rags that would have disgraced a scarecrow, he was in no case for inspection by such dainty eyes as these. Nevertheless, they continued to inspect him with round-eyed, almost childlike wonder and pity.
The photographs of him that present him from three to six show him developing into a round-eyed, flaxen-haired youngster with a truncated nose and a friendly stare. There lurks about his lips that never very remote promise of a smile that all the photographs of the early giant children display.
As they went down the wide, airy hall, Betty had a glimpse of the drawing-room through the open doors. In a confused way she noticed mirrors and statuary and portraits, handsome old furniture and rare pieces of bric-a-brac; but one thing caught her attention so that she stood a moment in round-eyed admiration.
