And therefore, as soon as they came to be well-grown, they took a great deal of care of their hair, to have it parted and trimmed, especially against a day of battle, pursuant to a saying recorded of their lawgiver, that a large head of hair added beauty to a good face, and terror to an ugly one.
It was, however, always necessary that the person so signalized should be submissive. Now, Mrs. Carroll, Mr. Grey's sister, had long since shown that she was not submissive enough, nor were the girls, the eldest of whom was a pert, ugly, well-grown minx, now about eighteen years old.
Gilbert made common cause with them. "I wish I was grown up for once," said William. "Will you fight me, Sir?" asked Gilbert, who was a matter of three years older, and well-grown enough. His question received no answer, and was repeated. "No, Sir." "Why not, Sir?" "I am afraid you'd lay me up with a sprained ankle," said John, "and I should not get back to Doncaster as quickly as I must."
The well-grown people bet freely on the combatants, and it is not an uncommon thing for the excitement to reach such a pitch that the battle begun in mid-air terminates with sound blows in less aërial regions. It is quaint to see rows of children with their little red jackets, standing on the high walls of the city, spending hours in this favourite amusement.
"Dear, dear mother!" cried Christina, courting her fond embrace by gestures of the most eager affection, "how have I longed for this moment! and, above all, to show you my boys! Herr Uncle, let me present my sons my Eberhard, my Friedmund. O Housemother, are not my twins well-grown lads?"

She was a strong, well-grown girl, but she realized fully that she was no match for the villain who stood before her, twisting his moustache and adjusting his neck-tie. And her father would not be off duty until nine. "I suppose you would like to wait here until it is dark?" she said at last. "I would sooner wait here than anywhere," said the skipper, with respectful ardor.
"And that's e'en a bad resting-place," said the well-grown page; "so come away with your questions, Master George." "Well, then," demanded the citizen, "I am given to understand that you yesterday presented to his Majesty's hand a Supplication, or petition, from this honourable lord, your master."
"And here is my daughter," said the King who was a priest. "She is a wonderful fine maid," said the first King, "and I like her manner of smiling." "They are wonderful well-grown lads," said the second, "and I like their gravity." And then the two Kings looked at each other, and said, "The thing may come about."
