Seeing Lady Barbara sitting opposite to her with her thin arms sticking straight out of a camisole, and two plaits of hair pathetically trailing one on either side of her narrow forehead, Gabrielle was suddenly overwhelmed with the consciousness of her own youth not only that, but her amazing difference in temperament from these people of her own blood.
Now she is upright, shapeless in the shadow, but from time to time I see her remarkable leanness outlined. She slips on a camisole and a jacket, a spectral vision of garments which unfold themselves about her handle-like arms, and above the hollow framework of her shoulders.
Besides, I suppose that the motive which has brought you here can only be a proper one." While thus speaking, she shook her skirt down, and without any affectation buttoned up her camisole. "Certainly, Mademoiselle," faltered Julien, "it is a most serious and respectable motive that causes me to wish for an interview, and if I do not disturb you "
The checkered shadows cast by the tree made spots of light and darkness over her face and her uncovered neck, the top button of her camisole being unfastened on account of the heat.

She could make such a pretty camisole top but no, it would be foolish to take such a risk. So she reluctantly turned her head away from the fancy-goods store. "Now, just one more stop!"

Over the camisole, in 1910, came a blouse, pernickety and shiftless about its waist fastening; and finally a hobble skirt, chiefly kept up by safety pins, and so cut below as to hamper free movement of the limbs as much as possible.
The checkered shadows cast by the tree made spots of light and darkness over her face and her uncovered neck, the top button of her camisole being unfastened on account of the heat.
A man's voice became audible, which sung a German song, whose refrain was, "She wears, if I can trust my eyes, a jet-black camisole."

The new arrival appears from among the shadows of the rose-arbor. It is Theodor Krisstyan.
