While our American women wear coaching dresses of bright orange silks and white satins, pink trimmed with lace, and so on, the English woman wears a plain colored dress, with a black mantilla or wrap, and carries a dark parasol. No brighter dress than a fawn-colored foulard appears on a coach in the great London parade of the Four- in-Hands.
Not until a week from to-morrow do you hear? I knew your father. We had many a transaction together, and I take pleasure in welcoming his son under my roof. Now get off to the young people, and do not make any excuses." Dario made none. The next morning at eight, Francisca stood before the altar in the chapel, looking very handsome in her rich gown and soft mantilla.
Do you know Charlotte ain't never wore that handsome mantilla she had when she was expectin' to marry Barney?" "Ain't she?" "No, she ain't, nor her silk gown neither. I said all I darsed to. I thought mebbe she or Sarah would offer; they both of 'em know how hard it is to get anything out of Silas; but they didn't, an' I wa'n't goin' to ask, nohow.
"My father wounded and suffering!" exclaimed Rita in extreme agitation, passing her hand over her forehead in the manner of one bewildered by some stunning and terrible intelligence. "I will go to him instantly. Quick, Paco, the mules! Micaela, my mantilla! We must set out at once."
If she had possessed Valentine's eye for the picturesque and beautiful, she would certainly have been incapable of disturbing the group which her third summons broke up.

Her devotion at an end, the dancer rose and disposed herself comfortably. The constant flutter of a fan with sandal wood sticks stirred the edge of her mantilla.
Above all else I don't want to be improved; if I hear a fact of any sort I am going to bed for the rest of the day." "I don't care about those, either," Savina assented; "but the stores, yes. I have to have a mantilla and a high comb right away, now; and I warn you if it's only in our room I'm going to wear them.
"Monsieur does not dance?" It was a Spanish gypsy with her lace mantilla and the inevitable red rose in her hair. He knew the voice. It was that of a little model he sometimes employed. "I dance, yes. But I will only take you out on the floor, my little Julie, ha ha I know you, never fear I will take you out on the floor, but on one condition." "It is granted before I know it."
Torchbearers, rich men, footmen, Figaros, grandees, alcaldes, dames, and damsels the whole company on the stage began to eddy about, and come and go, and look for one another.
