He felt in a vague way that she must be changing, and remembered the rector's predictions. Then he read on "Now for my adventure: Aunt Ann wanted some hair-wash, and I went to the barber's shop in the town to buy it. There was no one in but a black boy, because it was the bathing-time. He, I mean the boy, said he would call Mr. Johnson.
"Can't be very delicious then," Jim retorted. "It's not quite the same," piped the widow; "but it reminds me very much of an old bottle of attar of roses that was given to me when I was at school, with a copy of verses, by a young gentleman who was brother to one of the pupils. I remember Mr. And its like yes it's certainly like a hair-wash Mr. Jones used to use.
Yes, there he was, tall, ponderous, neat, clean-shaven, with his smooth hair, hardly thinned, smelling, no doubt, of the best hair-wash, and a pink paper in his hand. Well, he didn't change! And for perhaps the first time in his life Soames felt a kind of sympathy tapping in his waistcoat for that sardonic kinsman.
There were pots of pomade and face-cream, and nail-polish; bottles of hair-wash and tooth-wash; little boxes and brushes for the moustache, half a dozen gleaming razors, an array of brushes and combs and manicure-set in tortoise-shell with his crest in silver, bottles of scent with spray attachments; the onyx bowl of bath salts beside the hip-bath ready to be filled from the ewers of hot and cold water the Deanery, old-fashioned house, had but one family bath-room; the deep purple silk dressing-gown over the foot-rail of the bed, the silk pyjamas in a lighter shade spread out over the pillow, the silk underwear and soft-fronted shirt fitted with his ruby and diamond sleeve-links, hung up before the fire to air; the dinner jacket suit laid out on the glass-topped Chippendale table, with black tie and delicate handkerchief; the silk socks carefully tucked inside out, the glossy pumps with the silver shoe-horn laid across them.
Crocker mentions a woman who on washing her hands constantly found that the water was stained blue, but this was subsequently traced to the accidental introduction of an orchid leaf. In another instance there was a woman whose linen was at every change stained brown; this, however, was found to be due to a hair-wash that she was in the habit of using.
It's simply awful!" "Hair-wash, I suppose, or the soap I noticed it myself. It will pass off," said Peggy easily; but at that moment Mrs Asplin entered the room, sniffed the air, and cried loudly "Bless me, what's this? A regular Apothecaries' Hall! Paregoric! It smells as if someone had been drinking quarts of paregoric! Peggy, child, your throat is not sore again?" "Not at all, thank you.
That's Kite. Don't you recognise his type?" "One thinks of Ariadne," said Piers, "but the face won't do for her." "Yes, it's Ariadne but I doubt if I shall have the brutality to finish out my idea. She is to have lying on the sand by her a case of Higginson's Hair-wash, stranded from a wreck, and a bottle of it in her hand. See the notion? Her despair consoled by discovery of Higginson!"
The brigadier warns the Russian to be careful how he bestows himself. "Don't put your feet on my haversack," he says. "There's a bottle of hair-wash in it." The Russian shifts his feet. "There'll be a worse spill if you trample on mine," I murmur. "There's a bottle of Benedictine in it." "Padre!" said the brigadier. "I'm ashamed of you. I had the decency to call it hair-wash."
I suppose there is really no harm in it, but I never did keep anything from Aunt Ann. I got the hair-wash and went away with his secret. Now, isn't that a story! "I forgot one thing. As the Southern gentlemen come to be shaved and ask where he was born, they hear think of it that 'Mr. Johnson' was born in Connecticut! His grandfather had been a slave. I shall see him again.
It kind o' seems to me a mortal wonder women don't set their men-folk actin' queer settin' aside a railroad track guessin' they're advertisements fer a new hair-wash, or some other fancy dope. I guess women is the greatest proposition ever step out o' the Garden of Eden someways." Nan laughed happily. "That's spoiled it, Daddy," she cried. "Why not leave it at the Garden of Eden?"
