There is often something maternal even in a girlish love, and Mary's hard experience had wrought her nature to an impressibility very different from that hard slight thing which we call girlishness.
Middlemarch by Eliot, George View in context
The smooth, delicate girlishness of her young face was, as yet, untroubled.
The Malefactor by Oppenheim, E. Phillips View in context
But he remembered how, even then, she had surprised him by dropping back to inexpressive girlishness as soon as her conscience had been eased of its burden; and he saw that she would probably go through life dealing to the best of her ability with each experience as it came, but never anticipating any by so much as a stolen glance.
The Age of Innocence by Wharton, Edith View in context
