They wore heavily nailed boots, and had a hollow instead of a stomach, a handkerchief round their throat and mittens on their red wrists and were full of good humor. Klavs knew them quite well, and stopped of his own accord.
Jessie spent a good many minutes taking off her doll's hat and coat and her leggings and mittens and putting them on again. "I brought my railroad train," announced Carleton Marsh, the next morning. He unwrapped a long train of cars and an engine. "I got 'em for Christmas," he said.
He lives in one of the great houses there, but ill-furnished; and come to us out of bed in his furred mittens and furred cap. Thence to Exeter House to the Doctors Commons, and there with our Proctors to Dr.

"Do you know," said the black-and-steel lady, "that in accepting this position you may this day cause the loss of a hundred lives in agonizing physical torture and the sending as many souls to perdition?"
Trussit had changed not at all; his grandfather the same old creature of grey hairs and cushions and rugs, his father broad and square and white in the face with his black hair carefully brushed, his aunt with her mittens and trembling hands and silly voice, Mrs.
She wore black silk mittens, and on either bony wrist a band of black velvet clasped with a large cameo set hideously in pale gold.
