Ruth Welting was "scintillating" as the Fairy Godmother, sounding like a kindly, mirror-universe version of the Queen of the Night in Mozart's Die Zauberflöte. Jane Berbié was "capital" as Mme de la Haltière, and Teresa Cahill and Elizabeth Bainbridge "harmonize prettily" as her daughters, none of them being obliged to perpetrate any Despina-like grotesquery in the interest of comic effect. Jules Bastin's Pandolfe was likeable and well drawn but sung in a voice that was rather dry. Vocal limitations were also an issue with the distinctly mature Nicolai Gedda.

The lines of growth are elevated, excessively close together, and cover the entire surface of the shell, being continuous upon the keels and lirae and in the interstices between them. The plicae are somewhat acuminately produced upon the upper carina, which, when viewed from above, presents a prettily festooned appearance. The immense thickening at the base of the body whorl is very remarkable, and forms an excessively thick base to the aperture. Between this thickening and the lower keel the whorl is a little constricted or concave, especially so towards the mouth.

Versatile, gifted and energetic, Sulman was forceful and decisive in action and in speech. By turns polished and aggressive, he was seldom deflected from any task. Driven by ambition and a virile ego, he was politically adroit, able to cultivate useful acquaintances to become the central figure of any organization with which he was connected. His taste was essentially conservative (he considered much modern art to be 'awful rubbish'), but his interests ranged from painting to town planning: "the former seeks art in small framed spaces, the latter in wide, prettily and properly-planned places".

Pevsner noted that the "romanticism of Sweden and Holland in the 1920s is represented, surprisingly prettily and pleasantly, by Wallington Town Hall". The building went on to become the headquarters of the Municipal Borough of Beddington and Wallington when the area became a municipal borough in 1936. It ceased to be the local seat of government when the enlarged London Borough of Sutton was formed in 1965. After being used as the local registrar's office in the late 1960s and the 1970s, it was converted into a courthouse by dividing the council chamber into two courtrooms, one above the other, in 1980.

In her life, the duchess was an avid writer and composed a number of works, of both prose and poetry, of which some were published. She composed poetry as a young girl to her father and some of it later circulated in manuscript and was read by Walpole (who said it was "easy and prettily expressed, though it does not express much") and Reverend William Mason (who was more favorable with higher opinions). The first of her published literary works was Emma; Or, The Unfortunate Attachment: A Sentimental Novel in 1773. In 1778, the epistolary novel The Sylph was released.

Gilbert was a member of Ben Hall's gang that was active in the district in 1863-64. Patrick Gately and Patrick Lawler held up Keane's pub at Coolac in April, 1866. Also in the 1860s, to the north of Adelong, the bushranger Hawthorne mistook a man by the name of Grant for William Williams the gold mine owner, and killed Grant. By 1869, Harry Power, early mentor of famous Australian bushranger, Ned Kelly, was committing holdups near Adelong and as icing on the cake, by 1874 the bushranger prettily known as Jerry Blossom, was entertaining the district.

Mites were first observed under the microscope by the English polymath Robert Hooke. In his 1665 book Micrographia, he stated that far from being spontaneously generated from dirt, they were "very prettily shap'd Insects". The world's first science documentary featured cheese mites, seen under the microscope; the short film was shown in London's Alhambra music hall in 1903, causing a boom in the sales of simple microscopes. A few years later, Arthur Conan Doyle wrote a satirical poem, Parable, with the conceit of some cheese mites disputing the origin of the round Cheddar cheese in which they all lived.

Reviews in the Spectator magazine in November 1886 described her novel Bear and Forbear as "one of the good things of the year," and in 1891 described The White House at Inch Gow as "a quite harmless story, prettily told". Pitt's second novel, Fritters: or, 'It's a Long Lane that has no Turning' appeared in 1885 in the "Proverbs" series of "original stories by popular authors founded upon and illustrating well-known proverbs".Selections from Cassell & Company's Publications. It is a "bad-boy- turns-good" story, in which didacticism is accompanied by a realistic narrative set in the London Docklands.

By May 1892, Schwagerl had been named Superintendent of Parks in Seattle. He oversaw the completion of Kinnear Park and was responsible for the design of the plantings and other amenities. He also revised the design of Denny Park "along formal lines with prettily conceived walks, mounds and sloping lawns, ornamented with clusters of trees, shrubbery and flowering plant which thrive," although the modern park was redesigned after being leveled as part of the Denny Regrade. He made some of the early improvements to what is now Volunteer Park, including building a nursery stocked with over 100,000 plants intended for eventual use in other Seattle parks.

Inside were three rooms with marble walls and floors, each differently appointed with pilasters according to the three classical orders, and with "little Cupids on several Angles prettily design'd".Colvin, History of the King's Works, V, pp. 71-72, citing a description by George Vertue. The ceilings were painted by Henry Trench (an Irish historical painter who studied in Italy and died in 1726W.G. Strickland, A Dictionary of Irish Artists, 2 Vols (Maunsell and Company, London and Dublin 1913), II.), and the building housed a bust of Sir Thomas Hewett by John Michael Rysbrack.(Pevsner and Williamson 1979) Hewett's banqueting house no longer exists.

Though the sculpture differs in detail, and the fossil is more turreted, beside being sharply strongly internally lirate, the Bathytoma viabrunnea may be regarded as the descendant of the fossil in a more or less direct line. The several varieties even, so beautifully figured by Hoernes in his monograph of the Vienna Tertiary mollusks, are reproduced in the recent form. Among the five specimens I have seen there is a variation as to the sculpture which would divide them into two groups, just as Brocchi originally divided his Murex cataphracta. One has the spiral sculpture elegantly alternated, a stout thread and a slender one, all over the body, and all the threads minutely and prettily granulated.

The aperture is brownish within, with a single white central zone, and a white patch parallel with the margins of the outer lip, corresponding to a stout exterior submarginal varix, and stained with dark brown between this and the thin prettily crenulated edge of the outer lip. The outer lip is curved and very shallowly sinuated towards the base, and finely sulcated within, but at the edges. The sinus is deep, at the suture. The columella is a little oblique and tortuous, whitish, without markings or callosity, only furnished with a small whitish tripartite tubercle at the upper part, just a little below the sinus, and connected with the suture by a thin callus.

The short initially received mixed reception. Howard Thompson of The New York Times said that "[t]he Disney technicians responsible for this beguiling miniature have had the wisdom to dip right into the Milne pages, just the way Pooh paws after honey...The flavoring, with some nice tunes stirred in, is exactly right—wistful, sprightly and often hilarious. Kenneth Tynan of The Observer felt "The sedate foolishness of Pooh is prettily captured, and there are very few offensive additions. Purists, however, will rightfully baulk at such innovations as the stammering gopher and the songs, in one of which Pooh is made to sing: 'Speaking poundage-wise / I improvise my appetite when I exercise.

The failure of Day's sugar growing experiment within a few years brought about the gradual breaking up of his large land holdings and facilitated the further development of the area. A store and hotel, the nucleus of the town, were established in the early 1890s and these were followed by a sawmill around 1900 and the Silverwood Butter Factory in 1903. In 1915, in an article urging the extension of the railway from Enoggera to Terror's Creek, the township was described as "being set prettily on a hillside, and being the centre of miles of agricultural, dairying and fruit lands". According to the article [Australian Pastoralist, Grazing Farmers' and Selectors' Gazette, September 1915, Supplement, pp.

It is ornamented with a series of minute red dots at the upper part of the whorls, just beneath the suture, and a second series on an angle at the middle of them, with a third series around the periphery of the last volution, and some rather larger spots around the umbilical region. There are seven whorls of which the first three or four are somewhat convex, with three coarse spiral lirae (fine linear elevations on the surface of the shell). The antepenultimate whorl is flat, sloping above, with an acute angle a little above the base, spirally lirated. The lirae are a little raised, with the exception of that at the angle and one immediately beneath the suture, which is very prettily beaded.

Critical reception for Whatever Lola Wants has been mixed, and Variety wrote that "despite a considerable number of cringe-inducing moments early on, the sheer brio of the heroine's cross-cultural antics will win over auds by the end." The Screen Daily wrote a mixed review, stating "Shot brightly in artsy- melodrama mode and garnished with an Arab-fusion soundtrack by Krishna Levy and TransGlobal Underground, Whatever Lola Wants is a polished film, but in the end it never really decides whether it wants to be a prettily packaged star-is-born tale or an all-guns-blazing social critique." The Hollywood Reporter was also mixed, stating that while the film's music and dancing was a highlight, it ultimately "fails to engage".

While Flandez called it a "scene-stealing turn" and commended it visually and vocally, he noted that Paltrow lacks Adele's veracity. Mercedes' "Ain't No Way" was named the best performance of the episode by both Futterman, who enjoyed her "powerhouse vocals", and the New York Post Jarett Wieselman, who called it "unbelievable", and praised the focus placed on Mercedes following a season which failed to showcase her. Flandez described the number as being "glamorously sung like [the] star she is", and hoped that she would be better used in future. In contrast, Reiter called it "a restrained rendition", but "prettily sung nonetheless", and Gonzalez struggled to connect with the "uncharacteristically average" song, though noted that for Mercedes that is "still 10 times better than a normal person" and awarded it a "B+".

1875 Letters written by Walter and George during 1846 and 1847 indicate that improvements to the value of - were planned and these were to include the construction of a "good house". In early December 1848, George married Emmeline Macarthur, who was another of the daughters of Hannibal Hawkins Macarthur, father of Patrick's wife. From Emmeline's memoirs it seems that the house in which she lived at Canning Downs upon her arrival after the wedding was a "cottage ...built of wood, painted white and lined with canvas, and pretty room papers, thoroughly and prettily furnished and surrounded by a white verandah". She continues on to say that a church service was held in a small hall of the house every Sunday at 11.00am for "several of our neighbours...employees and friends which produced quite a congregation".

" A more mixed review came from Chris Willman from Chicago Tribune, who declared that "You hate to forever define an artist by her breakout song, but Colbie Caillat's eternal 'Bubbly'-ness doesn't leave much choice other than to worry about how easily the slightest sharp edge might pop the musical air ball in progress." Sputnikmusic called it "her most inconsistent album", saying that "She deserves some credit for trying to shake up a formula that was beginning to get stale, but unfortunately, she falters more often than she succeeds." Mike Driver wrote for BBC Music that "Caillat never truly imposes herself as a solo artist worth investing fully in. She sings prettily enough, but lacks the punch that the very best artists in this very crowded market possess.

In 1895, Michigan and Chicago again ended their football seasons with a Thanksgiving Day game, this one played in front of more than 6,000 spectators at Marshall Field in Chicago. Due to inclement weather, the field had to be "carefully scraped and sawdust scattered over the thin layer of ice" before the game began. Michigan's first scoring drive came in the first half when the right halfback, John Hollister, took the ball on Chicago's 45-yard line and ran around the right end for a 35-yard gain, a play the press called "a prettily-executed criss cross." Later in the drive, Michigan's star Frederick W. Henninger fumbled the ball which rolled beyond the goal line where it was recovered by J. De Forest Richards for a Michigan touchdown.

Consisting of eleven tracks, Adele aimed to depart from the "young-fogey" sound of her second album 21 and added synths and drum pads in order to modernize 25s musical style. The album's production incorporated the use of electronic elements and creative rhythmic patterns, unlike its predecessor, with elements of 1980s R&B; and organs. Described as a collection of "panoramic ballads and prettily executed detours", Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly noted the album's "stately production" characterizing it as being built over minor-key melancholy, stylistic flourishes and simplicity. Leonie Cooper of the NME summed the album's production up as changing from "moody balladeering to smoky jazz bar grooves" whilst a reviewer from Us Weekly stated the album was built upon piano ballads, R&B; grooves, minimalistic arrangements, gospel, blues and acoustic guitars.

James Baker, Secretary of State under George H. W. Bush The Economist published an article explaining the drive toward the Persian Gulf War in terms presaging the run-up to the Iraq War of 2003. The author notes directly that despite the coalition, in the minds of most governments this is the U.S.' war and George W. Bush that "chose to stake his political life on defeating Mr Hussein". An attack on Iraq would certainly shatter Bush's alliance, they assert, predicting calls from United Nations Security Council members saying that diplomacy should have been given more time and that they will not wish to allow a course of action "that leaves America sitting too prettily as sole remaining superpower". When the unanimity of the Security Council ends, "all that lovely talk about the new world order" will too.

Official editions contained three engravings on pages that folded out, interspersed with the text. The first illustrated a stove; the other two, suggested table layouts for the first course and for the second course. Raffald explains in her Directions for a GRAND TABLE that: The book, intended for "a burgeoning middle class that required explanation and elucidation", provided an accurate description of how to serve an elegant meal à la française, complete with two fold-out engravings of the layout of a table with 25 "prettily-shaped" and symmetrically-arranged serving-dishes "laid in generous profusion on the table", each annotated with the name of the appropriate recipe. It is not clear whether the term "cover" for the layout of such a "Grand meal" is an acknowledgement of the French couvert, as it may simply mean, with Hannah Glasse, "a large table to cover".

The shrine door is elaborately carved with two rows of figures on the frieze, Ganpati on the lintel, and the jambs richly ornamented- The area behind the central jamb is roofed with large slabs, carved with sixteen figures linked in one other's arms in a circle, the leg's crossed and turned towards the centre. Each holds a rod in either hand, the left hand being bent down and the right up, and so interlaced with the arms of the figures on either side. The roofs of the three aisles, at the side and in front of the central area, are very prettily carved with flowered ribs, and three horizontal bands inclusive of that from which they spring. In two neat niches advanced from the front wall of the shrine, and with two colonnettes in front of each there have beon standing images in alto-relievo neatly canopied by a lotus flower with buds growing over the head dresses.

It was "very prettily situated on a hill overlooking a grassy margined lake of considerable size, surrounded by high hills, and when you first catch sight of it, you naturally say, 'well, this takes a lot of beating'. And so it does, for beauty of landscape". A second wrote, "This well-known station home...is beautifully situated on a rise overlooking the Herbert, just before that river takes its plunge down the scrub-clad gullies to the level of the coast". From the 1880s north Queensland cattlemen began to participate in southern markets, especially Melbourne and Adelaide. Although growth slowed during the dry years of 1884-1885 and 1888-1889, in the 5 years from 1889 cattle numbers increased quickly, to reach a peak of 1,390,899 head or 19.8 per cent of all Queensland cattle in 1894. Up to 1890 the cattle industry in north Queensland struggled for profitability because the supply of cattle greatly exceeded demand, and cattle prices were depressed.

The second, "Something good", was a duet for Andrews to sing with Christopher Plummer's Baron instead of a number that Wise had rejected, "An ordinary couple". Edwards had previously thought the latter rather "commonplace", and he had been surprised to find that it was one of the tracks on Kunzel's disc that he most enjoyed. It had been improved by the addition of "a charming little verse never before recorded", and further enhanced by "the mellow duetting of [Frederica] von Stade and Håkan Hagegård", "with the strings of the Cincinnati Pops providing a lovely velvet-like sheen as a backdrop". Hagegård was good, too, in a "prettily" sung "Edelweiss". Håkan Hagegård in 2005 (courtesy of the Polar Music Prize) As the Mother Abbess, Eileen Farrell was strong and assured in "Climb ev'ry mountain", "that solo that's an open invitation to sing flat", making it seem all the stranger that she had been denied her rightful place duetting with Maria in "My favorite things".

With its disturbed young hero, crumbling old mansion and macabre developments it immediately brings to mind 'Psycho.' The more apt comparison, however, is with that much-cherished English comedy of some years back, 'The Green Man,' in which Alastair Sim (at his drollest) went around blowing up a series of troublesome types." Tom Milne of The Monthly Film Bulletin thought that the rats were "so well-mannered and prettily groomed that they are more likely to elicit coos of delight than shudders of fear ... When the horrors do come, they are very tame indeed: not one single shot to match the chilling menace dispensed by the brooding crows in The Birds or the prowling felines in Eye of the Cat. Instead, Daniel Mann settles for facile effects, like the cut-in shot of rats tearing at a piece of raw meat while they are supposedly demolishing Ernest Borgnine, and gradually drives what might have been an unusually intriguing horror film pretty much into the ground.

Martinez's music has been described by The Guardian as "off-kilter, sweary electropop". Rolling Stone described Martinez's music as "twisted lullabies about love, danger and madness", and compared her music to that of "'Coin-Operated Boy'-era Dresden Dolls" and Lana Del Rey. The New York Timess Jon Pareles described her music as "perch[ing] prettily tinkling keyboards and concise pop choruses amid the slow, ominous basslines and twitchy percussion of Southern hip-hop – a candy-coated variation on the dirges of Lorde and Lana Del Rey", and described her voice, which has been classified as mezzo-soprano by Keaton Bell of the Red Dirt Report, as "whispery, sardonic, tearful, [and] furious". Billboards Jason Lipshutz also compared Martinez to Del Rey and Lorde, saying, "Martinez is clearly cribbing from the dimly lit pop stylings of Lorde and Lana Del Rey, but while her wispy delivery strikes the same femme fatale poses, she lacks the subtlety of her influences", and that "Martinez is admirably ambitious, but her insistence on sticking to Cry Babys central idea leaves her contorting into uncomfortable positions".
