Strona 208 - On arriving at the eurade, you find a bed prepared for you ¡ and fcarcely are you laid down before a child comes to prefs every part of your body with his delicate fingers, in order to dry you thoroughly.
Strona 198 - The brilliancy of the eye and its appearance of fullness, depend of course in some degree on its form, and on the magnitude of the eye-ball ; but still more on the closeness and amplitude of the eye-lashes and the diameter of the pupil. It is the eye-lashes only...
