This, of course, is in the strictest confidence." The hairdresser was at once struck with the importance of the occasion. "You want an instantaneous dye?" he asked.

There was no difficulty whatever in complying with the request and, in ten minutes, the boys' heads were raven in their blackness.
Her own, at the best, is skimpy and straight, though very much my colour, and what with permanent waving and instantaneous hair colouring it was positively dwindling away." "I wish you had let it dwindle." "No, I rather like her so I suggested she should give her own poor locks a rest and have an artistic postiche made with mine; it made two, one to come and one to go to the hairdresser.
Surely mademoiselle will have these few green leaves?" Celine had said, but Helen would have nothing save the lily, which was twined tastefully amid the heavy braids of the brown hair, whose length and luxuriance had thrown the hairdresser into ecstasies of delight, and made Esther lament that in these days of false tresses no one would give Miss Lennox credit for what was wholly her own.
How strange it was to meet in this way after twenty-five years! But would he recognize her? He made his toilet with feminine coquetry, put on a white waistcoat, which suited him better with the coat than a black one, sent for the hairdresser to give him a finishing touch With the curling iron, for he had preserved his hair, and started very early in order to show his eagerness to see her.

"Good-day, fair lady," said the old man, bowing to Madame Clapart, and wrapping his white pique dressing-gown about him.

Pensions became a serious drain on the revenue and rapidly grew to over 50 millions a year at the end of the reign of Louis XVI. They were not infrequently granted for ridiculous or scandalous reasons, as in the case of Ducrest, hairdresser to the eldest daughter of the Comtesse d'Artois, who was granted an annual pension of 1,700 francs on her death; the child was then twelve months old; or that of a servant of the actress Clairon, who was brought into the Oeuil de Boeuf one morning to tell Louis XV a doubtful story about his mistress; the King laughed so much that he ordered the fellow to be put down for a pension of 600 francs!
The conversation sometimes turns upon literature, Mr. Bolton being a literary character, and always upon such news of the day as is exclusively possessed by that talented individual. ‘Can you lend me a ten-pound note till Christmas?’ inquired the hairdresser of the stomach. ‘Where’s your security, Mr. Clip?’ ‘My stock in trade,—there’s enough of it, I’m thinking, Mr. Thicknesse.
