The air was so pure, the atmosphere so tempered that a family was sitting out of doors as if it were summer. A man dressed in a hunting-jacket of green drilling with green buttons, and breeches of the same stuff, and wearing shoes with thin soles and gaiters to the knee, was cleaning a gun with the minute care a skilful huntsman gives to the work in his leisure hours.
But the invisible leader, surprised at so bold an attack, retreated a step or two and raised his hat abruptly, thus enabling Hulot to get a hasty idea of his appearance. He was young, Hulot thought him to be about twenty-five; he wore a hunting-jacket of green cloth, and a white belt containing pistols.
"That he saw my husband stealing in the direction of the place where the wounded man was found, but a few moments before he was struck, wearing the same hat and hunting-jacket that the injured man testified was worn by his would-be assassin." "Oh!" Madeline knitted her brows in thought a moment; then "Was the coat and hat Mr. Girard's?"
"While you're in Saranac," said Craig, "buy me a dozen or so test-tubes. Only, don't let anyone here at the house know you are buying them. They might ask questions." While they were gone Kennedy stole into James Langley's room and after a few minutes returned to our room with the hunting-jacket. He carefully examined it with his pocket lens.
"Now, if you can get Harrington and Doctor Putnam away from the house for a short time, as you did with your uncle and cousin this morning, I may be able to tell you something about this case soon." Again Kennedy stole into another bedroom, and returned to our room with a hunting-jacket.
My worldly acquaintances had dressed up especially for this, in some sort of hunting-jacket, and tall, travelling boots, in a costume in which they rode and went hunting, and which, in their opinion, was appropriate for an excursion to a night-lodging-house. They took with them special note-books and remarkable pencils.
Next, as silently, he stole into Junior's room and repeated the process with his hunting-jacket, using another glass and piece of gauze. "While I am out of the room, Walter," he said, "I want you to take these two glasses, cover them, and number them and on a slip of paper which you must retain, place the names of the owners of the respective coats.
On Mitya’s left side, in the place where Maximov had been sitting at the beginning of the evening, the prosecutor was now seated, and on Mitya’s right hand, where Grushenka had been, was a rosy-cheeked young man in a sort of shabby hunting-jacket, with ink and paper before him. This was the secretary of the investigating lawyer, who had brought him with him.
Pliny, tell my man to brush the hunting-jacket and, see he has his breakfast, in good style he is a grumbling rascal, and will give the house a bad character, else you need not come back, until we ring for you yes, mother, yes dearest girls, this is a far more serious matter than you suppose, though it ought not to be mentioned idly, among the people.
Think of the thousands of creatures to whom winter brings misery and death. Sunday, 11th. The little mason came to-day, in a hunting-jacket, entirely dressed in the cast-off clothes of his father, which were still white with lime and plaster. My father was even more anxious than I that he should come. How much pleasure he gives us!
